Table 35 has been an action table in the past half hour or so. Barry Kruger doubled through Allen Butkovic, and while stacking those chips won another big pot off Jason Duval. Then Jonathan Bardier doubled through Bryan Piccioli… and the chips keep moving. Allen is now crippled while Kruger and Bardier have both grown their stacks considerably.

Ravi Raghavan is out of the WPT Canadian Spring Championship in 14th place.

14th place: Ravi K Raghavan, $22,607.00

Brant David Kostandoff, who was crippled when Tao Liang doubled through him just a few minutes ago, has been eliminated in 15th place.

15th place: Brand David Kostandoff, $22,607.00

Tao Liang has doubled through Brant David Kostandoff. Brant raised UTG+2 and it folded around to Tao who shoved. Brant said ,”Well I have to call this time” and flipped over . Tao held and the flop of put him ahead of Brant’s pocket pair. The turn and river were harmless: and Tao doubles leaving Brant with under 100K.

The very next hand Tao won another big pot against Ravi Raghavan when a Q came on the turn to give him a higher pair than Ravi’s ten.

Ronnie Bardah has been eliminated in 16th place.
