Jean-Marc Couillard waited a long time, and finally got what he was looking for. He went in with pocket tens from the button with his last 95K. Pawan Raich, now the overwhelming chip leader, called with 
and pulled the huge upset!
Jean-Marc finishes 6th and wins $2,335. Well done! Players looked at some ICM numbers after his departure, but Pawan wanted more, and play resumed quickly with no deal.
Julie Payette had been very quiet for a while, not getting any love from the deck. She was down to her last 198K, and threw them in with 
. When Keith Laflam announced all-in 1 second after looking at his cards, Julie knew that she needed help. Keith tables 
.
Board: 
Keith was covered by 11K, and walked in 7th place, for $1,770. Bad luck, but nice run!
Pawan Raich opened the pot from a late position, and when Felix sides peeled 
in the big blind, sitting on 5 blinds, he decided to make the call.
Pawan showed 
, and the board favored him: 
Felix cashes $1,345 for his performance. Congratulations!
Andy D’Alessandro was eliminated shortly after the formation of the final table. When Nazareth shoved on the button with king-nine, Andy called with ace-jack, but Naz pulled the upset.

On the other table, Jean-Marc Couillard performed a double knockout, sending Dan-David Amar and William Cornelius Johnston to the rail. Jean-Marc also isolated Rémi Bourque, and won the pot, sending Rémi Bourque home and the tournament to the final table.

After Jason Hing Pong Tsang and Joey Boczek’s micro stacks went away, our survivors played hand-for-hand for about 5 hands, until Guillaume Laroche’s short stack went in with 
. His timing was bad though – he got called by Nazareth Maghakian’s 
.
Naz caught a set on the flop, and Laroche was drawing to a gutshot, which did not come on the run out. He was our bubble boy tonight, and 14 players are now on the money, looking to merit a seat at the final table.
