After some aggressive preflop action between Daniel Strelitz and Mike Lafable, they both found themselves all-in before any community cards were out.

Daniel:

Mike:

The pair of aces was the winning hand on the board, and Daniel doubled his 552,000 stack up to just above the average stack.

Edouard Dupuis opened up the action from middle position by placing a raise to 57,000. It folded around to Mike Lafable in the small blind, who 3bet to 150,000. Edouard, who started the hand with just over 800,000, made the call.

When the flop came , Mike checked to Edouard, who placed a bet of 225,000. After a moment in the tank, Mike check-raised to 575,000, which then put Edouard into the tank. He eventually announced all-in, and was quickly called.

Edouard:

The turn and river ( ) were blanks, and Mike cleaned Edouard out, increasing his stack to over 2 million.

Jonathan Barrette saw his stack dwindle down to just 2 big blinds before finally moving it in from the small blind. He was holding , and managed to win the hand versus Julien Fauteux Delorme’s on a board. On the next hand, he stole the blinds from the button, which was a substantial increase to his stack.

A few hands later, he once again moved all-in, this time for 196,000. Edouard Dupuis isolated him with a raise to 400,000, and they went heads-up to the flop.

Edouard:

Jonathan made two pairs on the board to run his stack up to over 400,000, good for over 15 big blinds.

Edouard Dupuis has picked up a number of chips in the last two hands. In the first hand, after investing nearly 100,000 prior to the river, he min-raised Faisal Khan’s 126,000 bet on the river of a board. Faisal made the call, and mucked his hand when Edouard tabled the nut flush with , saying under his breath that he also made the running flush.

On the very next hand, he opened from middle position to 55,000, and was 3bet to 145,000 by Daniel Jason Stelitz. After a brief moment, Edouard announced all-in for just over 800,000, which forced Daniel Jason out of the hand. He is now hovering around the 1 million chip mark.

Faisal Khan, sitting on the chip lead with nearly 3 million to start the hand, opened from utg to 52,000. Tj Ulmer moved all-in for 271,000 from the button, and before Graham Lupton had time to act in the big blind, Faisal announced call. Graham was only holding 14,000 more than TJ, and announced the call. Given it was a passive action, Faisal’s out of turn call was binding, and the three players went to the flop. Graham was sitting on the best hand preflop, and was in a great spot to triple up.

Vlad Faubert was on the short end of the leaderboard for the last few orbits. He successfully managed to steal his neighboor Julien Fauteux Delorme’s big blind a few times today by moving in from the small blind whenever the pot was unopened. On this last hand however, Julien committed the ~200,000 in chips to go to showdown heads-up with Vlad.
