It was just a question of time before two players would be dealt hands they could not let go of, and this just happened here in the Main Event of the Playground Winter Festival. Sergio Vigano opened to 350,000 from the button, and Norman Doucette moved all-in from the small blind.

Norman:
Sergio’s pair of 7s held on the board, and after the dealer did the counts, it turned out that Norman was just barely covered in the hand.
This bring us down to heads-up between Sergio and Hugo Fontaine, and the stacks are virtually even. Sergio actually has the chip lead, but it’s only by one ante!
3rd place: Norman Doucette – $43,410
