    Play has continued to move very fast as most of the players have been sitting on average or below average stacks, with two players in control of most of the chips.  Patrick Boisvert and Peter Maltais, with their stacks hovering around 1 million chips, have been taking advantage of the opportunities and one by one, players have been eliminated.

    In the last hand, Hicham Hammoud, playing a 660K stack (11 bb’s), raised UTG to 300k. Action folded to Patrick Boisvert on the button, who looked at him and said out loud “why would you make that bet and not shove?”.  After a few more seconds of reflection, and knowing that his stack was big enough that he could afford a hit if he lost the hand, he decided to make the call.  The flop came down King of Spades 8 of Diamonds 4 of Diamonds, and Hammoud shoved the remaining 360k. Boisvert made the call.

    Hammoud:  Ace of Clubs Queen of Hearts
    Boisvert: Ace of Hearts 10 of Diamonds

    Hammoud was clearly ahead, but as fate would have it, a 10 came out and that ended Hammoud’s tournament life.
