We have just seen a dramatic double elimination on the final table. Alexandre Blais Briere moved all in from under the gun for 133K, a little more than six big blinds at this point. Kathy Sawers called and the action folded around to Daniel Pepin. Pepin quickly moved all in over the top for a total of 371K. Sawers had Pepin covered but just barely, and she was left with a difficult decision. After carefully considering the situation, Sawers made the call. Her read was confirmed when the hands were tabled.
Sawers:
Pepin:
Blais:
It was a good spot for pocket tens, but Sawers still had to dodge a lot of cards. The flop, 9s, was safe. The turn, , was a blank. And the river, , was overkill. Sawers made tens full of nines, as her arms shot into the air triumphantly. Sawers took a massive chip lead along with two bounties with her boat.
Alexandre Blais Briere finished in sixth place, earning him $2,725.00, and Daniel Pepin finished fifth, good for $3,440.00.
