  • With the blinds at 60K/120K/a20K, we saw Kevin Blais open the pot preflop from middle position to 300K, and Gaston Dumas flat call from the button. Shawn Martell then slipped in a raise to 810K from the small blind, which was enough to make Kevin fold. Gaston thought about it for a minute before competing the call, and they went heads-up to the 4 of Spades Jack of Diamonds 8 of Spades flop. Shawn placed a continuation bet of 1M chips, and Gaston announced he was all-in for a few hundred thousand more. Shawn made the call, and they turned over their cards.

    Shawn Martell: 10 of Hearts 10 of Diamonds for a pair of tens
    Gaston Dumas: Ace of Spades 10 of Spades for a flush draw

    The turn and river, readind 4 of Clubs and 4 of Hearts, were blanks, and Shawn won the hand and eliminated Gaston. Shawn is now holding just over 7M in chips.
