Sébastien Morissette had taken a nice option in the race for second against Gianfranco Giordano, but was severely hurt by Mathieu Boucher. Morissette opened from the small blind and Boucher called from the big blind. Morissette kept pressing the pot with growing bets until he checked the river, which Boucher fired for a million chips. Morissette showed his flopped flush draw and mucked.
Morissette and Giordano were now about even at 1.5M, and from then on it seemed like they wanted to gamble a little bit more and several all-in cards flew. Then Boucher did the all-in move and found a call from Morissette.
Boucher: 
Morissette: 
Board: 
Morissette doubled to over 4M chips, and Giordano was now in great need of some love from the deck, and he got it. He shoved his 850K from the small blind into Morissette and found a call.
Giordano: 
Morissette: 
Board: 
Morissette was still in 2nd place, but a 3bet shove from Giordano stole 420K from Morissette’s stack and they were now about even at 2M each with another 12M in front of Boucher.
Then Morrissette doubled on Boucher with queens against nines. Approximate counts:
- Mathieu Boucher – 10M
- Sébastien Morissette – 4M
- Gianfranco Giordano – 2M
