  • Action folded around to Karo Lyne Dufour in the small blind, and she moved her 435K stack into the middle with only Michael David Yeomans left to act, who made a quick call with his 900K+ stack.

    Karo Lyne: 5 of Diamonds 5 of Spades
    Michael: Ace of Spades King of Clubs

    Michael gave a little fist pump when he saw the window card, an Ace of Clubs, and his pair held up on a board of 8 of Diamonds 9 of Hearts Ace of Clubs 2 of Diamonds 3 of Spades, sending Karo Lyne to the cashiers to collect her $3,115 prize.

    8th place: Karo Lyne Dufour, $3,115

  • Trieu Dung Hong has eliminated Jerome St-Onge in 9th place for $2,335.00.

    Trieu raised from middle position to 60K and Jerome went deep in the tank from two seats to his left. After about 2 minutes he quietly announced “all-in”. Everyone folded back to the initial raiser who quickly called.

    Trieu Dung Hong: King of Clubs King of Diamonds
    Jerome St-Onge: Ace of Clubs King of Spades

    The Kings held on a board of 4 of Hearts Queen of Diamonds 8 of Hearts 10 of Clubs 10 of Diamonds and Trieu added Jerome’s 320K stack to his own.

    9th place: Jerome St-Onge, $2,335.00

  • The final table has just had its first elimination. Kelly Smith started the final table with just 48K in chips but in early action had doubled up to just over 100K. In the hand in question it folded around to her in the hijack and she pushed her two stacks to the centre. Karo Lyne Dufour in the cutoff insta-shoved over the top and the button and blinds folded.

    Kelly flipped over a serious hand – Ace of Hearts Queen of Hearts, but unfortunately for her, Karo had the most serious hand – Ace of Diamonds Ace of Clubs.

    The board runout of 6 of Clubs 9 of Clubs 6 of Hearts 5 of Hearts 10 of Clubs didn’t give Kelly help (though the turn was a pretty interesting card) and her tournament is over.

    10th place: Kelly Smith, $1,745.00
