Jérémy Ménard pushed a 650K bet on the turn, in a pot of well over a million. David Eldridge was probably sensing that Ménard wasn’t too happy about the board:
.
Eldridge, our High Roller champion, took the initiative. He raised to 1.4M, which got Ménard to think. He ended up making the call, and looked straight at Eldridge as the river was being revealed. He held his stare for some time before looking at the river himself, being first to act.
. Both players checked the last street. Eldridge may have been confident about his read, but uncertain whether his opponent would lay it down or not. Good players know when to change their plans!
Ménard tabled the 
and scooped.
