The mood is extremely tense among the final 24 players in the WPT Montreal, and despite several players being relatively short-stacked, there has been little movement since the most recent eliminations at the beginning of this level. There have been plenty of huge hands – but seemingly plenty of difficult folds as well.
Samuel Louis Gagnon has just doubled through Robert McGhee – a big enough change to possibly change the dynamic at the table. McGhee has been among the chip leaders for much of the day, and in this hand he had raised from the button to 49K. Ryan D’Angelo folded his small blind and Gagnon shoved for 448K. McGhee went in the tank for some time before finally making the call.
McGhee: 
Gagnon: 
There was a pretty decent sweat for Gagnon as the flop was dealt: 
although we learned after the hand that with the TV light reflecting off the card face, he couldn’t really see the cards. In any case the turn came 
, the river came 
and Gagnon faded McGhee’s flush draw and stacked a nice pile of grey T25,000 chips that he received from McGhee.
