We came across a hand that created a monster stack. Indeed, Eric Cormier, who was already doing very well, took down a record pot for this blind level.
The flop was checked around. On the turn, Michael Tessier-Strasbourg bet out 8K into a 13K pot. Eric Cormier, Pinto S., Linda Huard and Kevin Macdonald all called. Tessier-Strasbourg, facing so much resistance, checked the river. Cormier did not hesitate and threw in 50K. Pinto S. committed his 40K stack, and Huard called 50K.

This powerful river filled up 3 straights, and with this pot Cormier is now sitting on over 300K. He is in a great position to keep the pressure on his opponents for a very long time. Play enters level 4, with 80 players at the tables.
