Play on the final table has proceeded at a very deliberate pace so far, with no eliminations for almost a full level of play. The only constant has been that Patrick Rabouin-St-Laurent has kept stacking chips – from the beginning of level 28 until the recent all-in, he had added over a million chips to his already dominant stack.
Finally there was a hand that played out to the end, and unfortunately for Gabriel Lessard, it was his final hand in the tournament. We didn’t catch all of the action, but after a hand that featured three rounds of betting and must have seemed like a call to a chop, he was eliminated from the tournament.
The board read
and Gabriel was playing
– but Patrick was playing
for the rivered flush.
Patrick already had a sizeable lead on the rest of the table – these chips will just increase his advantage.
