Sébastien Morissette built up nicely when he hit a flush against Mathieu Boucher. Escalating bets led to a 1.5M-chip bet on the river which was called by Boucher.

Boucher must have had a chop before the heart fell on the river. He went on to double Gianfranco Giordano when he called his all-in.

After that, Morissette raised to 430K from the button and called Giordano’s 1.8M all-in bet.

The chip situation is now very different. Boucher is still in the lead with about 7M, but his opponents got a lot of life back and have about 4M each. It is that situation that motivated the following deal: $2,000 are taken off the 23K first prize and shifted over to the 10.4K 3rd prize.
