  • Francois Binette fell short stacked, and moved in his final 5 big blinds with Ace of Spades Jack of Hearts from early position. Antonio Esfandiari made the call from late position holding King of Diamonds Queen of Diamonds, and they ended up going to the flop heads-up.

    Before the cards were out, Antonio apologized in advance for winning the hand, saying whenever he holds a live KQ vs an ace, he always wins. He even went on to say that it’s not a 60/40, but rather a 90/10, which made the table laugh a little.

    Surely enough, the window card was a Queen of Spades, and that pair was enough to win him the hand on the 7 of Diamonds 8 of Clubs Queen of Spades 3 of Hearts 2 of Clubs board.

    The tournament has now reached it’s final table of 10 players, and Day 4 will conclude with one more elimination.

    11th place: Francois Binette, $26,960
