Guillaume Humbert Takes a 2:1 Chip Lead

There was a limp and a check before the two finalists saw a flop of [9c {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} . Azusa Maeda checked to Guillaume Humbert who bet 35,000 and Maeda made the call. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and Maeda bet 110,000 and after a little thinking time Humbert made the call. This was turning into our biggest heads-up pot so far and it was confirmed at the sight of the {4-Clubs} river when Maeda bet 200,000. Humbert had a few minutes to ponder his decision before making the call. Madea flung his cards into the muck and Humbert showed {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} to claim his bounty.
