Aaron Czaja saw a flop with Sébastien Proulx. Proulx checked it, and Czaja placed a 65K bet. Proulx opted to go all-in for nearly 300K and Czaja made the call. Little did he know, his draw was actually way ahead!

A brutal turn, and a non sympathizing river. Proulx is now chip leader with over a million chips, while Czaja is left with less than 200K. He lost them shortly after when Frédérick Laurin Fortin had the best of his 8s with pocket aces.
On the other table, Carl Doyon reshoved on Nizar’s button raise, and found a call. His deuces held against Nizar’s ace-ten, and he climbed to 600K.
Aaron Lawrence Czaja takes $880 for his 9th place finish, leaving everybody else with a 4-figure prize. Nice run!
