    William Pauzé takes the $80 Freeze

    2018/06/30 - 22:52 by Jôle Simard

    Event 6 was a $70 + $10 freezeout event, and attracted 219 players, shattering the $5K guarantee. The tournament lasted a little over 9 hours, and in the end, William Pauzé had all the chips. When the ICM numbers were agreed upon by the last 5 players standing, Pauzé had secured the 2nd biggest prize.

    Mario Bernier was the first to leave after the variance was reduced. After a few all-ins that favored the shorter stack, Mohammad Osman took out 2 opponents at once.

    Mohammad Osman: 6 of Spades 5 of Diamonds
    Christopher St-Pierre: 8 of Diamonds 2 of Hearts
    Francis Carrière: Ace of Clubs 5 of Hearts

    Board: 7 of Clubs 2 of Diamonds King of Hearts King of Diamonds 6 of Diamonds

    This river got Osman a crushing lead over Pauzé, but many more showdowns were observed. Pauzé came back, won the pot that mattered, and gave the final blow when his ace got the best of Osman’s king.

    William Pauzé added $450 to his $2,060. He goes home with the biggest payday, the title, and the satisfaction of a big win! Congratulations!

    Our $80 Freeze Champion: William Pauzé – $2,510

    Players have looked at the numbers and rejected them twice before they finally agreed to an ICM chop. Here are the secured amounts:

    First Name | PrénomLast Name | NomPrize | Prix
    FrancisCarrière$1,275
    ChristopherSt-Pierre$2,250
    MarioBernier$1,145

    MohammadOsman$2,040

    Players continue to play for the $450 reserved for the champion. This amount will be added to their allotted prize. Congratulations!

    Since play has resumed, every hand resulted in an all-in. Let’s see who still stands when the dust settles!

    Bouchard finds a call

    When the action folded to Pierre Bouchard in the small blind, he went in for a little under 400K. Mohammad Osman, who was in the big blind with just over that amount, made the call.

    Bouchard: King of Diamonds 10 of Hearts
    Osman: Ace of Diamonds Jack of Clubs

    Board: 5 of Diamonds 6 of Diamonds 6 of Clubs Jack of Diamonds 3 of Diamonds

    Osman kept the lead the whole way. Bouchard walked away with no regrets. He cashed $590 for his 6th place finish. Congratulations!

    Pierre Bouchard

    6 players on break

    In the last events before the break, Michael Carrington was eliminated in 8th position. Shortly after, Francis Carrière seriously dented the leading stack when his King of Hearts Queen of Hearts flopped the world. Top pair flush draw was more than enough to best Pauzé’s 4 of Spades 4 of Hearts, especially when the turn completed the flush.

    Then, it was Gaétan Perreault who got it in with Mario Bernier:

    Perreault: King of Diamonds Jack of Clubs
    Bernier: Queen of Diamonds Queen of Hearts

    Board: 9 of Diamonds 10 of Diamonds 10 of Clubs 4 of Spades 4 of Clubs

    8th: Michael Carrington – $430
    7th: Gaétan Perreault – $510

    When William Pauzé eliminated Joshua Ladouceur in 11th place – he simply called his all-in bet with aces – the final table was formed. Here is the chart:

    First Name | PrénomLast Name | NomSeat | Siège
    FrancisCarrièreTable 34 - Seat 1
    ChristopherSt-PierreTable 34 - Seat 2
    MichaelCarringtonTable 34 - Seat 3

    RéjeanBourgogneTable 34 - Seat 5
    WilliamPauzéTable 34 - Seat 6

    GaétanPerreaultTable 34 - Seat 8
    PierreBouchardTable 34 - Seat 9
    MohammadOsmanTable 34 - Seat 10

    On the first hand, Mario Bernier and Réjean Bourgogne were in an all-in hand that culminated in a group scream.

    Bernier: Ace of Diamonds 5 of Spades
    Bourgogne: Ace of Spades Ace of Hearts

    Board: 2 of Clubs 9 of Diamonds Queen of Clubs 4 of Spades 3 of Clubs

    Magic. Réjean Bourgogne was flabbergasted. He lost his few remaining chips on the next hand and takes $310 for his rough final table experience. Good run!

    Fabien Domenech followed him. His 9th place is good for $350. Well done!
