The tournament continues to move super quickly as Ben Leblond and Jonathan Duhamel have been eliminated in 14th and 13th place respectively.
Ben got short after doubling up Jason Duval in a huge pot (AQ>KK), and just one or two hands later shoved his pocket 99 and was called, again by Jason who held AK. The nines didn’t hold and Ben is out of the tournament.
Just a few minutes later Jonathan got his below-average stack in the middle with 
and was called, and once more Jason was playing for an opponent’s stack holding 
. The flop came all hearts: 
giving Jonathan some extra outs, but the turn and river were brutal – 
to put two higher pairs on the board leaving Jason’s Ace kicker the best hand.
Again just a few minutes later Thomas Lefort got it in and lost leaving the tournament in12th place.
Eliminations:
- 12th place: Thomas Lefort, $4,200
- 13th place: Jonathan Duhamel, $3,450
- 14th place: Ben Leblond, $3,450
One more elimination and we’ll have a final table.
