When we got to the table, Antoine Sankari was all-in and the flop was out, 3 players in the action. No side pot was formed, meaning Sankari must have 3-bet shoved pre-flop.
Joël Giguère checked the flop, and so did Jerry Joseph Jaber. On the turn, Giguère checked again, but Jaber bet out 25K, initiating a side pot next to the 80K frozen main pot. Giguère called. The river was checked by both.

Giguère’s check on the turn was very crafty, disguising his hand well. That allowed him to salvage some of the chips that the brutal river was about to take away from him.
The last 3 hands of the night have been announced, after which our Day 1A qualifiers will bag their chips.
