    Pascal Lefrancois just made a great call, but with an unfortunate result.

    It all started with an opened from Lu Zhang to 75,000 from middle position. Pascal Lefrancois defended his big blind, and they went heads-up to the flop. With 5 of Diamonds 9 of Clubs 3 of Clubs showing, Pascal check called a bet of 125,000. On the 7 of Hearts turn, Pascal once again checked, and was faced with an all-in from Lu, who had him covered. Pascal cut his chip out, and after a little moment in the tank, made the call with his 510,000 stack.

    Pascal tabled King of Spades 9 of Diamonds for top pair, and was up against the double-gutter and 1-overcard of Lu, who had Ace of Diamonds 4 of Diamonds. The river Ace of Clubs was one of the cards Lu was looking for, and she eliminated Pascal in that hand to bring us down to our official final table of the WPT Canadian Spring Championship, brought to you by partypoker.net.

    7th place: Pascal Lefrancois – $39,560

    Senthuran Vijayaratnam opened from under the gun, then 4bet shoved his ~1,300,000 stack when Trevor Delaney 3bet from middle position. Trevor made the call, and they were flipping for a pot of over 2,600,000!

    Senthuran: Ace of Hearts King of Diamonds

    Trevor: Jack of Hearts Jack of Clubs

    Both players connected on the Queen of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds 8 of Hearts Queen of Spades 10 of Diamonds board, however Trevor’s full house was best, and with that elimination, he took over the chip lead, holding a stack upward of 3,100,000.

    8th place: Senthuran Vijayaratnam – $31,650

    Gary Lucci opened to 85,000 from under the gun, and Trevor Delaney made the call from the hijack position. Levi Stevens 3bet to 225,000, and found a call from both players.

    Levi and Gary both checked the 7 of Hearts 3 of Diamonds 2 of Clubs flop, and Trevor quickly moved all-in. Levi folded, showing a little frustration, and Gary asked for a count. The dealer announced Trevor had 1,205,000, and Gary open folded a pocket pair of KK, shocking some players at the table.

    Robert Taylor opened to 60,000 from under the gun, and went heads-up to the flop with Senthuran, who made the call from the big blind. On a flop of 6 of Clubs 6 of Hearts 5 of Diamonds, Senthuran check-called a bet of 76,000. When the turn brought the 5 of Spades, both players checked. On the river King of Spades, Senthuran moved all-in, and found a call from Robert, who had just under 400,000 behind.

    Senthuran tabled 4 of Hearts 5 of Hearts for a full house, and Robert tabled his Ace of Clubs King of Diamonds, which was his last hand in the WPT Canadian Spring Championship.

    Players went on a short break after the hand, and we are currently updating the chip counts, which will be published momentarily.

    9th place: Robert Taylor – $23,730

    Pascal Lefrancois opened from late position to 50,000, and was followed by Trevor Delaney in the hijack position. Sheraz Nasir then 3bet to 102,000 from the cutoff, which both players called.

    3-way to the flop, we saw 3 checks on the Queen of Diamonds 10 of Diamonds King of Clubs board. When the turn brought the Queen of Clubs, Pascal and Trevor checked to Sheraz, who fired 102,000. Pascal raised it up to 335,000, forcing Trevor out of the hand, while inducing a call from Sheraz. Both remaining players checked the 5 of Spades river, and Sheraz too the pot with Ace of Hearts Queen of Spades, while Pascal threw away his 8 of Clubs 9 of Clubs.

    Senthuran Vijayaratnam moved all-in for 327,000 from the cutoff after action folded around to him, and Trevor Delaney made the call from the small blind. Sheraz Nasir got out of the way, regrettably folding a pocket pair.

    Senthuran: Ace of Diamonds King of Diamonds

    Trevor: King of Clubs Queen of Diamonds

    Community cards: 5 of Clubs 6 of Diamonds 3 of Spades King of Spades 4 of Hearts

    Delaney took a bit of a hit with that hand, but still holds over 1,100,000 at the moment.

    Johnathan Karamalikis just lost a flip, as his last 330,000 were in the middle with Ace of Spades King of Diamonds versus the Jack of Diamonds Jack of Hearts of Sheraz Nasir.

    The board ( 9 of Clubs 2 of Diamonds 10 of Spades 10 of Diamonds 7 of Diamonds ) brought no help to Johnathan, who was sent to the rail in 10th place.

    10th place: Johnathan Karamalikis – $17,290

    Lu Zhang has entered this final table as the chip leader, and is showing she’s not afraid to use her chips if need be. We just saw her open to 52,000 from middle position, and go heads-up with Gary Lucci who made the call from the button.

    On a flop of 7 of Hearts 3 of Clubs 3 of Hearts, she lead out for 72,000, and when faced with a raise to 150,000, she 3bet to 352,000. Gary made the call to see the 5 of Spades turn, but folded once Lu slid out a bet of around 450,000 on the turn.

    With that pot, Lu chipped up to just over 2,100,000, good for the current chip lead.
