    As our seventh level of play on Day 1B winds down, the players are putting each other to the test. Mathieu Boulanger-Vaugeois, better known around Playground by his alias “Matt Damon,” was just put to one such test when he was check-raised by Francis Sabourin on the turn in a big pot. The board read Queen of Clubs 9 of Hearts 4 of Clubs 4 of Hearts, and Boulanger-Vaugeois had position on Sabourin. Sabourin check-raised the turn, making it 35.3K to go after the initial 10K bet by Boulanger-Vaugeois. The call was made and the players saw the 2 of Clubs river. Sabourin continued his story and led out for 45K. This bet cranked up the pressure on Boulanger-Vaugeois, who had roughly 75K left behind. After thinking over some of Sabourin’s possible hands out loud and spending several minutes in the tank, he made the call. Sabourin tabled King of Diamonds King of Clubs, and Boulanger-Vaugeois showed 3 of Diamonds 4 of Diamonds. There were a few remarks heard around the table about what a tough spot he had found himself in, to which Boulanger-Vaugeois agreed; “I was only beating that hand or a bluff.”
