Charles La Boissonnière started off with a bang. He is the author of the first 2 eliminations of the night. Just a few hands in, he open-min-raised from the button, and got called by Albert Nguyen. When Nguyen checked the flop, La Boissonnière place a 100K bet, which was met by an all-in. The call came in instantly, and the uneven race took place:
Charles La Boissonnière: 
Albert Nguyen: 
Board: 
Nguyen’s flopped top pair was not enough to beat jacks, and he went out first. A few hands later, Daniel Thibodeau shoved his 500K stack from the under-the-gun position, and La Boissonnière isolated him by going all-in himself. They went to the board heads-up:
Daniel Thibodeau: 
Charles La Boissonnière: 
Board: 
The gut shot did not come, and Thibodeau exited the room, placing 14th. Play continues on shorter tables, 3 eliminations away from the final table.
15th: Albert Nguyen – $1,080
14th: Daniel Thibodeau – $1,080
