Valentin Imperatore limped in from the small blind with 10♦9♥. Timothe Labassa checked his option in the big blind with J♦3♠.

The 10♠A♦K♥ flop saw Imperatore take the lead for 400,000. Labassa called with his gutshot draw.

The 5♣ turn slowed down Imperatore with a check. Labassa took the lead for 1,400,000 and Imperatore called.

The 10♣ river gave Imperatore trips. Both players checked to a showdown. Imperatore was best and Labassa mucked his holding.
