We just witnessed two huge hands develop in the same time, leading to two eliminations.
On table 39, Maxime Boulay opened from middle position to 155,000, and was followed by Siamak in the hi-jack. Anesti Kocini then 3bet up to 655,000, triggering an all-in from Maxime for 865,000. Siamak hesitated for a few minutes before letting go of his hand, and the two live players tabled their hands.

With no help on the 
board, Maxime made an exit in 22nd place.
On table 40, Michael Aflalo called the early position raise from Fernand Dionne to find themselves heads-up on a 
flop. Fernand checked it over to Michael, who fired 175,000. Fernand made a quick raise up to 450,000, and then called the all-in from Michael, who had the bigger of the two stack with roughly 1,500,000.
Michael tabled 
and was in very rough shape versus the 
Qc of Fernand. The turn however brought the , giving both player some draws, and the river 
complete Michael’s runner-runner straight, who yelled out in excitement. He now sits on a stack just shy of 3-million, while Fernand is in line at the cashiers to collect his prize money.
