Chad Gray is the latest player to be eliminated, and also the last player to go before the final redraw of the tournament as the remaining players come together on a single table.

Chad’s stack had dwindled to 1.6M and in this hand, he open shoved on the button and found one caller in Noeung Troeung sitting in the small blind position.

Chad: 9 of Hearts 9 of Spades

Noeung: Ace of Spades Queen of Spades

The community cards gave Troeung what he was looking for: 7 of Clubs Ace of Diamonds King of Clubs 3 of Spades 6 of Diamonds and Chad hit the rail.

Gabriel Vézina eliminated in 12th place

2014/09/02 7:29pm by
Tournament: Event 10 - $1000 + $100 Main Event

A stunning hand just took place between Gabriel Vézina and Daniel Gagnon that saw Gabriel hit the rail in 12th place and vaulted Daniel once again to a massive chip lead in the tournament.

Daniel opened the action with a raise to around 300K and Gabriel raised to 720K. Daniel just called and the dealer dealt the flop.

Flop: 4 of Diamonds Jack of Spades 3 of Clubs.

On the flop, Daniel opened to 625 and Gabriel raised all-in. Daniel snap called and the hands were flipped.

Daniel: 3 of Hearts 3 of Spades
Gabriel: Ace of Clubs Ace of Diamonds

Daniel’s flopped set of threes was well ahead and the 4 of Hearts and 9 of Spades sent Gabriel to the tournament desk to get his payout ticket.

12th place: Gabriel Vézina, $11,440

Mellor wins a huge pot

2014/09/02 6:37pm by
Tournament: Event 10 - $1000 + $100 Main Event

Michael Mellor started the day with a short stack but he has chipped up very successfully and now is one of the larger stacks left in the tournament.

In the hand in question, Noeung Troeung raised from middle position to 160K and Daniel Gagné, to his immediate left, flat called. Michael also called from the BB and the flop was dealt: Ace of Diamonds 6 of Diamonds 2 of Diamonds. Action checked around and the turn came 4 of Hearts.

Michael checked, then Noeung bet 240K and Daniel called. Michael then chose to raise it up to 740K. Noeung folded but Daniel called. The river was dealt: 4 of Clubs and the action went check – check and Michael turned over Queen of Diamonds 8 of Diamonds and stacked up the 2.3M pot.

Troeung climbing the leaderboard

2014/09/02 6:23pm by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 10 - $1000 + $100 Main Event

Noeung Troeung, who spend a good part of the day on top of the leaderboard yesterday, saw his stack dwindle at the start of Day 3. After doubling up versus Alexandre a few orbits ago, he has managed to once again double up. After a button-raise to 200K from Michael Mellor, and a 3-bet to 500K from Thi Nguyen in the small blind, Noeung moved in for 1.58M from the big blind. Michael threw his cards into the muck, and Thi tanked for a minute before announcing the call.

Noeung: Ace of Clubs King of Clubs

Thi: Ace of Spades 10 of Diamonds

Board: 2 of Spades 8 of Diamonds 6 of Hearts 5 of Clubs 2 of Clubs

Noeung now holds around 3.3M.

Shamshoum doubles up

2014/09/02 5:56pm by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 10 - $1000 + $100 Main Event

Rick Shamshoum had a difficult decision to make versus Chad Gray, but inevitably made the right move to score a double up to well over average stack.

On a flop showing King of Hearts Queen of Hearts 5 of Hearts, and with over a million in the middle from a 3bet preflop, Chad lead out with a bet of 500K. Rick tanked for a few minutes, and even had the clock called on him, before he committed the chips, holding 710K behind. On the 8 of Spades turn, Chad moved all-in, and Rick again went into the tank. A few moments later he announced call, and they turned over their cards.

Rick: Ace of Clubs Ace of Diamonds

Chad: Ace of Spades King of Clubs

The river 9 of Hearts changed nothing, and Rick doubled up to over 3.5 million, leaving Chad with just over a millio behind.

Lavigne eliminates Costa, then doubles Troeung

Tournament: Event 10 - $1000 + $100 Main Event

We caught up on the turn in a pot where Mike Costa had all his chips in the middle versus Alexandre Lavigne on a board showing Jack of Spades 7 of Spades Queen of Clubs King of Hearts. Once they tabled their hand, Mike saw he was in big trouble, and murmured “Come on, river me”.

Alexandre: King of Spades King of Clubs

Mike: Jack of Clubs 10 of Spades

The river 3 of Clubs brought no help to Mike, who was eliminated in 14th place for $9,380.

A few hands later, Noeung Troeung moved all-in from middle position for 890K, and got a call from Alexandre in the small blind.

Noeung: Jack of Spades 10 of Clubs

Alexandre: King of Hearts Queen of Diamonds

Noeung paired on the 4 of Diamonds 3 of Clubs Jack of Diamonds 9 of Spades 8 of Hearts board to double his stack up back into comfort zone.

13th place: Mike Costa, $9,380
