Julien Rouxel and Nicholas Wang tangle in a pot in which Rouxel check-calls for 60,000 on the 
flop for 60,000 and 200,000 on the 
turn. That brings them to the 
river on which Rouxel checks and Wang bets 450,000.
Rouxel sighs and says “I don’t have a good feeling” but calls with the 
, Wang only has the 
.
Julien Rouxel – 1,900,000 (76 bb)
Nicholas Wang – 1,300,000 (52 bb)
Soon after that, Rouxel three-bets out of the big blind and Motoyoshi Okamura four-bet jams from under the gun. Both players have around two million at that time and Rouxel calls!

Motoyoshi Okamura: 
The board runs out 
and Rouxel is absolutely shell-shock. Okamura covers and moves into the lead while Rouxel goes from hero to zero.
Motoyoshi Okamura – 4,100,000 (164 bb)
