Idris Ambraisse was on the button and raised to 250,000. David Poces called from the small blind as did Scott Levitt from the big.

The final three saw a flop of Qh6h5d. Poces and Levitt checked. Ambraisse C-bet 200,000. Both Poces and Levitt called.

The turn fell the 5c. It again checked to Ambraisse and he again bet, this time 400,000. Poces quickly folded, but Levitt mixed it up raising to 1,200,000. Ambraisse called and it was river time.

The river came the Jh. Levitt lead for 1,000,000. Ambraisse jammed for 2,890,000 more. Levitt had Ambraisse covered, but just slightly. After some time in the tank, he called.

Ambraisse: 6s6d for sixes full
Levitt: 8d5s for trip fives

Ambraisse doubled to take a sizable chip lead while Levitt was left short.
