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:
Flop:
Gotfryd congratulated him for the fold and opened ! The crowd was speechless.
