The latest action was at Table 82, which saw the elimination of Francois Roy at the hands of Mike Lafable. When we joined the play betting had already begun, and it would cost 1300 to see the flop. Three players were interested.
Flop: 
The player utg in seat 2 (Francois Roy) shoved all in. The player in seat 6 folded, and Mike Lafable in seat 8 decided he would risk it, calling the all in with his larger stack. Both players flipped over their hole cards.
Francois: 
Mike: 
Francois had middle pair and a gut-shot straight draw, but unfortunately Mike had top pair and the same gut-shot straight draw. The final two cards were dealt 
, with Mike cleaning up the chips with a pair of 9s.
