Although we missed the hand, as we passed table 26 just now we were flagged down by the players at the table who regretted the fact that we had missed a killer hand.
However, one of the players had taken a photo of the cards on the table during the all in showdown, and so we can relay the story to you through the power of forensic poker reconstruction, a skill all Playground bloggers are expected master.
Alain Corriveau looked at his hole cards, seeing a 
must have thought he was in a good place. All in against his opponent, his heart no doubt dropped when he saw Olivier Brossard flip over his pocket 
!
But the crazyness was not over yet.
The flop was dealt 
, giving Olivier a full house, Aces over Tens and simultaneously giving Alain quad Tens! The turn/river didn’t help Olivier – only the final Ace could do that – and so Alain doubled up and eliminated Olivier from the tournament.
That’s the beauty of poker!
