Francois Roy was crippled prior to the final table, and when 10-handed play began he was holding less than 1bb. He managed to double through Jeffrey Cormier in the second hand on the final table, but was inevitably eliminated on the next hand, as most of his chips were committed from the big blind. Jospeh Abou Khalil was the recipient of his $100 bounty chip.
