The High-Roller field has been reduced to one table of 9 players, which means we are now in the money! Every player is now guaranteed at least $19,206, but we all know very well that they will not be satisfied unless they walk out with the $192,060 first prize, which is accompanied by a Playground Poker Fall Classic High-Roller Champion’s belt!

Here is the final table:

Ratharam Sivagnanam

Jonathan Jaffe has been running over the field in this Day 4 of the WPT Montreal, and we’ve rarely seen him get out of line, but he just backed into a monster to lose a quarter of his stack.

Ratharam Sivagnanam opened to 120,000 from early position, and Jonathan 3bet to 300,000 from the button. Ratharam then 4bet to 780,000, to which Jonathan replied with a 5bet all-in. Ratharam made the quick call, and was well ahead preflop.

Ratharam:

Jonathan:

Although Jonathan made the nut flush, it was second best to Ratharam’s full house on the board. With that pot, Ratharam now sits on just over 5 million in chips.

After a min-raise from Jonathan Jeffe from under the gun, Lonnie Hallett announced all-in from the button, holding a stack of 1,600,000. While Jonathan was in the tank, Lonnie informed him that he has a big hand. Jonathan replied by saying “I believe you, but I still have to call”, and slid some chip forward to signify a call.

Jonathan:

Lonnie:

Lonnie paired his king on the flop, and it was looking like he was going to double up, until Jonathan made his set on the river of a board.

With that pot, Jonathan extended his chip lead, and is now just below the 10 million chip mark. With 22 million chips in play, he holds nearly 50% of them!

We are now just one elimination away from our official televised final table of 6!

8th place: Lonnie Hallett – $59,490

Jonathan Jaffe, who has been quite active on this final table of the WPT Montreal, opened the action to 140,000 from the hijack position. Samuel Chartier then moved in for roughly 1,400,000 from the cutoff, which was followed by a quick all-in from Marc-Andre Ladouceur in the small blind, who had a stack of 1,300,000. Jonathan mucked his hand, letting the two local pros battle it out.

Samuel:

Marc-Andre:

Samuel found the ace he needed on the flop, and the board was the last one Marc-Andre would see in this event.

9th place: Marc-Andre Ladouceur – $44,680
