Action folded around to Jessie Wheatley, who opened to 105,000 from the cutoff. Charles-Etienne Gagnon replied with a 3bet to 310,000 from the button, and was followed by an all-in from Maxime Lejeune Hebert from the small blind. Jessie asked for a count of Maxime’s stack, but finally let go of her hand after the dealer announced it was of 1,175,000. Charles-Etienne quickly made the call, and cards were tabled.

Charles-Etienne:
It looked quite bleak for Maxime, until a queen dropped on the river on a board showing . Charles-Etienne was covered by only a margin of 5,000 and was therefore eliminated in the hand, bringing us one elimination away from our official final table of 6.
8th place: Charles-Etienne Gagnon – $13,020
