Mykyta Kurilenko opened for 350,000 and then Jeremie Fournelle-Brisbois shoved over the top for 1,025,000. Alexandre Lajoie tanked in the small blind but in the the end, he let go of his hand. Kurilenko made the call and the hands were opened.

Fournelle-Brisbois:
As the flop was about to be fanned out by the dealer, Lajoie announced that he folded a pair of pocket sevens! Jeremie was delighted to hear that news, though, Kurilenko was obviously not so happy to find out that he was almost drawing dead.
The board ran out
and Fournelle-Brisbois had a huge double up, while Kurilenko was left crippled.
A couple of hands later Joel Berard shoved 1,225,000 and Fournelle-Brisbois re-shoved. The others folded and the hands were opened.
