Valentin Imperatore raised to 1,600,000 from the cutoff. Timothe Labassa, in the small blind, three-bet to 5,000,000, leaving himself 3,200,000 behind the line. Imperatore put him all in for the rest and Labassa called.
Timothe Labassa: 6?6?
Valentin Imperatore: 9?9?
Labassa was in bad shape until the unlikely five card runout produced 7?J?3?K?A?, putting a flush on board and chopping the pot.
