It took two hands to finish him off, but Mickael Trottier has been eliminated in 6th place. The beginning of the end was Mickael’s UTG raise to 42K, which was met with an immediate shove by Joey “Birdman” Boczek. Michael thought for a split second and made the call.

Joey:
The board didn’t have an Ace and only one diamond: and Mickael was crippled to less than a big blind remaining – with the big blind to play immediately.
The following hand, with Mickael all-in with his big blind, Nicolas Aubut flat called to force the issue but then Shawn Dubeau shoved over the top and Nicolas went away. The cards were flipped.

Shawn:
The flop had Mickael dreaming of a chop: but no such luck as the board ran out .
6th place: Mickael Trottier, $330
