    Daniel Gagnon had been struggling to get something going in the last level, but he did manage to buy the blinds once or twice. This time, his shove was not getting passed Robert Courrière.

    Gagnon: 2 of Diamonds 2 of Clubs
    Courrière: Ace of Spades Ace of Clubs

    Board: 6 of Clubs 10 of Spades 10 of Hearts 10 of Diamonds 6 of Hearts

    Gagnon was drawing dead on the turn, and walked away in good spirits. He takes $2,730 for his 6th place finish. Congratulations!

    Moments before Gagnon’s bust, we witnessed the fold of the year. Eric Al Halaby limped in and saw a flop with both blinds. Eddy Gotfryd, first to act, dunked 500K, a slight over bet. The big blind folded and Halaby, after thinking for some time, announced fold, but showed his hand:

    9 of Hearts 9 of Spades

    Flop: 2 of Diamonds Ace of Diamonds 9 of Diamonds

    Gotfryd congratulated him for the fold and opened 10 of Diamonds 8 of Diamonds! The crowd was speechless.
