Francois Goulet was facing elimination at the very end of Day 4, but managed to make the winning hand on the river in an all-in flip with Antonio Esfandiari to survive onto the official final table of 9. He had a fierce start, eliminating James Armstrong in 9th place with a set of kings versus a set of fives. But a few orbits later he one again found himself with a short stack.
Sitting on just over 1M in chips, Francois 3bet jammed over Thiago Nishijima’s 135K open, but unfortunately ran himself into a tough spot.
