In just the 4th hand of the action today, James Armstrong has been eliminated by François Goulet. The hand was pretty much a perfect storm – perfect for François, anyhow.
James opened the action from the button holding 
and François thought for a minute before putting out a 3-bet to 180K holding 
. James simply called the raise.
The flop was dealt: 
– both players had hit their set! François kept the betting lead, putting out a bet of 110K that James flat called. The turn was the 
, and François elected to check. James bet 125K after a few minutes of hollywood, and François raised to 275K. James threw out a little more acting before deciding to raise all-in – and François snap-called by jamming down a stack of big chips in front of him.
James saw the bad news and hit the rail in 9th place.
9th place: James Armstrong, $36,660
