Samuel Fournier opens to 250,000 and short-stack Stephane Navard defends his big blind in the last hand of the level.

On the Diamond 10Diamond 7Spade 4 flop, Navard jams for his remaining 440,000 and Fournier makes the quick call.

Stephane Navard: Diamond KDiamond J

Navard is behind Fournier’s pair of tens, but has plenty of outs to hit with his flush draw and overcards. However the Club 7Heart Q turn and river are bricks, and Navard taps the table and shakes the hand of every player before he departs, wishing his opponents luck for the final table tomorrow.

Play has now concluded for the day, to be resumed October 28 at 1 p.m. local time at Club Circus, Paris. Stay tuned for updated chip counts.
