Our finalists:

With Raymond Latinsky and Anthony Clark’s eliminations in 13th and 12th place, the PLO event is now down to 11 players. These players are now resuming play after a break that allowed the T500 chips to be raced off. Here are the current stacks:

The PLO event is now down to 13 players. All of these players will get paid, but the most important part remains, as $28,300 are reserved for the winner.

Here is what they compete for:

The PLO event is almost down to the last 2 tables, as 17 remain in the field. We came across a hand that featured 3 hands all-in pre-flop:

Colin Mchugh:
Jean-Serge Baril:
Gino Frenette:

Flop:

Mchugh looked really good on the flop with a queens full and facing very few outs, but the runout favoured Baril:

Baril crippled Mchugh and took out Frenette.

The PLO event took its 3rd break of the night. The gap between the leading pack and the players holding by a thread is increasing by the minute, as our leaders do a very good job at keeping the pressure on.

here’s our actual top 3:

Three players went all-in on the flop, creating a monster pot.

Gino Frenette:
Fouad Akli:
Kayvan Payman:

Board:

Frenette looked like a large favourite, but in PLO, there is no such thing. So far he needed to dodge an ace or a spade, but there were a plethora of dangerous turns.

The  was one of them. His opponents’ combined outs were now 1 ace, 9 spades, plus 3 non-spade jacks.

River: 

Clean. Ship the 125K pot, please – must have thought Frenette.
