It was a huge double up for Ehamparam, who had 102M behind.

The MILLIONS Open is now down to its final table, following the elimination of Alex Barbosa.

Karim-Olivier Kamal, who has been using his chip lead to bully his opponents, moved all-in from the button. Alex Barbosa, who was down to roughly 7 big blinds, had been waiting patiently for a good spot, decided this was the moment, and he called off his stack.

Play resumes now.

When Sébastien ”Seabass” Drolet-Poitras found himself in an unopened pot on the small blind, he did not look for fanciness. Considering Michael Leblanc’s stack, which represented about 30 big blinds, he shoved right away. Leblanc decided that his suited but weak ace was enough to roll the dice with, and called.
