Some hands can make or break a tournament.
At the end of level 12, and just a few minutes before the scheduled break we witnessed such a hand.
Pre-flop Sydney Barnier was all-in with two other players: Rajendra Patel and Jean-Francois Alexandre. After receiving their cards, each player probably looked at their own hand and thought to himself: “Yes, finally, I needed this!”. But when all the cards were tabled, two players were in for a nasty surprise… the best hands in No Limit Hold’em were tabled:
Sydney Barnier:
Rajendra Patel:
Jean-Francois Alexandre:
The board was dry , and the bullets held their ground.
Bernier’s original stack covered the other two players. Jean-Francois Alexandre had kept a decent stack all day, so Sydney Bernier scooped up the mother load and could still be seen rearranging his chips 2 hands later.
