Stéphane Bédard open-limped from the small blind, and Yan Nadeau raised to 2,7K. Bédard went ahead and pumped it to 8K, which was called rather quickly by Nadeau. Bédard placed a c-bet on a dry flop, and when Nadeau mucked, Bédard showed aces, and asked Nadeau if he would have bet into a check. Nadeau chuckled, and said he wouldn’t, indicating that he had Bédard exactly where he was.

Later, on another table, Elvira Popescu and Therlegrand Faustin were involved in a sizable pot. Popescu check-called the turn, and open-shoved the river for about 12K into a pot estimated at almost 30K. Faustin tanked for several minutes, and eventually called time on himself. 3 seconds before expiration, he pushed forward the exact amount. A good call!
