Alain Jobin was the chip leader following the three Day 1s in the event and managed to remain among the chip leaders for much of Day 2 until the last two levels, when he lost much of his stack and only bagged up 247K at the end of Day 2.
In the first level of Day 3, however, he managed to build his stack very quickly back to over 1.5M – but now has hit the rail in 27th place. We don’t have details of the hand, but from accounts by players at the table the player who eliminated him made a tough hero call on a big river bluff by Alain.
A few minutes later Dustin Melanson was also eliminated in 26th position.
