  • We just lost 2-time final tableist of the Montreal WPT Sylvain Siebert, as he just got into a betting war with Alexender Wong preflop. Alexender opened the pot from the cut-off to 240K, and was faced with a 3bet to 660K from Sylvain. He then 4bet to 1.2M, to which Sylvain responded with a shove of just over 2.7M. Alexender made the call, and seemed a little surprised to see what Sylvain went all-in with.

    Alexender: Jack of Spades Jack of Diamonds

    Sylvain: King of Spades 7 of Spades

    The board was interesting for both of them, but mainly for Alexender, who flopped a full house on the 7 of Diamonds 7 of Hearts Jack of Clubs flop. The turn gave Sylvain a little more life, bringing the King of Clubs, but the river 6 of Diamonds sealed the win for Alexender, who is now hovering around the 8 million chip mark now.

    We are now just one elimination of our official final table of 6.
