Let F3,3 be the 3-graph on 6 vertices, labelled abcxyz, and 10 edges, one of which is abc, and the other 9 of which are all triples that contain 1 vertex from abc and 2 vertices from xyz. We show that for all n ≥ 6, the maximum number of edges in an F3,3-free 3-graph on n vertices is $\binom{n}{3} - \binom{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor}{3} - \binom{\lceil n/2 \rceil}{3}$. This sharpens results of Zhou [9] and of the second author and Rödl [7].
