We came across a hand that developed into a huge pot. On the turn, Éric Constantineau bet 6.5K into a pot of about 10K. Christopher Hudson made the call, and hid his face in his hands, waiting for the river action to come to him.

Éric Constantineau:
Christopher Hudson:
Board:
Hudson had flopped huge – second pair + nut flush draw – while Constantineau had flopped top-top. The flush came through, and Hudson was promoted into the circle of leaders.
