Julien Pieffet opens under the gun plus one for 60,000 and his neighbor Giles Gauyacq in the hijack calls. Small blind Tarek Bouchama calls as well to make it three-handed.

Bouchama checks blind before the flop of Heart 5Diamond KHeart Q hits. Pieffet and Gauyacq check behind.

Bouchama asks the dealer to hold off on burning and turning, and he bets 60,000 before the Spade 2 hits the turn. Both of his opponents call.

Before the river is dealt, Bouchama announces that he’s check-calling. There’s nothing to check-call, though, as all three of the players check on the Diamond 8 river.

Gauyacq shows X AX Q and Pieffet mucks, but the pot goes to Bouchama, who tables Spade KSpade 9.

Julien Pieffet – 550,000
Giles Gauyacq – 600,000
Tarek Bouchama – 900,000
