A huge hand on Table 39

We just saw the end of a huge hand between Dawn Mootrey and Jeremie Trepanier on table 39.

We caught up to the action on the flop of 8 of Spades 3 of Hearts King of Clubs. Dawn (BB) led out for 190K and was raised by Jeremie (cutoff) to 400K. Dawn didn’t hesitate long before making the call.

The turn came 4 of Clubs and Dawn checked. Jeremie bet 225K and again Dawn called without much hesitation. The river was a 10 of Clubs and again Dawn checked. This time Jeremie went in the tank for a while before betting 425K. Then it was Dawn’s turn to consider her options… and eventually she called.

Jeremie turned over 8 of Diamonds 8 of Clubs for a flopped set and Dawn mucked her cards. Jeremie stacked the more than 2M chips in the pot!

Seat Open!

We already have the first elimination of Day 4. After losing a big hand at the end of Day 3, Francesco Buffone was left with just 45K to start today. Predictably, his chips got in the middle early and his King-high couldn’t survive Terrance Eishens’ Queen of Diamonds Queen of Hearts.

  • 25th place, Francesco Buffone, $6,620
