William Blais delivered a crippling blow to Trevor Argue, as the two clashed pre-flop each holding a pocket pair. Trevor was the first to put his chips in play, open-shoved from the cutoff with nearly 10,000,000. William Blais called with his remaining 8,400,000 from the button, and the blinds got out of the way.
