9th place: Samuel Pouliot

In the hand following Andre Frechette’s elimination, we saw yet another all-in / call.

Sylvain Lessard opened the action from late position to 25,000, and action folded around to Samuel Pouliot in the big blind, who moved all-in for his remaining 90,000. Sylvain tanked for a moment, as the call would represent most of his stack, but he inevitably committed the chips to find himself racing against his opponent.

Sylvain caught just enough of the board to bring this final table down to 8 players.

Players went on a short break following this hand.
