Then it was Gianfranco Giordano who bit the dust. When Jason Trottier min-raised to 160K, Giordan called, and so did Mike Saragossi. The flop was checked by all 3 players. On the turn, Giordano went all-in, which sent Saragossi to the tank, he finally folded, and Trottier called right away, and tabled .

Congratulations to both of you!
Saragossi and Trottier are now well in front of Jean-Luc Joseph and Martin Dyotte.
