  • Rayan Chamas, known for his online success as ‘zebest_666’, has had quite the ride here at this Main Event of the PokerStars Canada Cup. He held the early chip lead for most of Day 1b before getting crippled near the end. He managed to reclaim the chip lead in Day 2 after making a huge call on the money bubble for nearly his tournament life, and kept a healthy stack all the way until the final table. His aggression payed off in many spots throughout the tournament, but in the last few orbits he lost a number of pots, dwindling his stack down to under 15 big blinds.

    On his last hand, Rayan shoved his last 1.395M from under the gun with King of Clubs Jack of Hearts, and got the call from Robert Notkin with Ace of Diamonds Queen of Diamonds in the cutoff. Rayan failed to improve on the 6 of Hearts 7 of Diamonds 6 of Clubs Queen of Clubs 9 of Clubs board, effectively ending his Main Event run in 5th place.
