Thierry Blanc was gunning for his second final table of this Playground Poker Spring Classic, as he placed 9th in The Wild $150 only a few days ago. He came in today as a short stack, and patiently waited for a spot to get his chips in. He finally picked up a great shoving hand, however found himself in a dominated spot. He pushed for 3bb after Arnold Yxley moved in for 4bb from early position, and big stack Tomas Larivee Magni came along for the ride for a very fair price.

Real Cantin had a lot of work to do tonight if he wanted a shot at the champion’s trophy, as he came in to the day as the shortest stack. He managed to double up fairly early in the night, and then recently pulled the trigger for 400,000 from middle position. He was looked up only by Marco Lang in the big blind.
