All Ins All Over the Place

Usually when they stop the clock at the end of the night and draw a number of hands to play, the action comes to a halt. But today, the attitude has been more double-up-or-don't-come-back than please-let-me-blind-into-Day-2 . Just after the TD announced there were five hands left, madness ensued.

There was even a three-way all in for a ton of chips on one table. Eric Lachappelle had the biggest stack and the best hand with {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. A slightly smaller stack was in bad shape with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, and Tristan McDonald was looking for a triple up with {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. The {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop didn't change anything, but the {q-Hearts} on the turn made all the difference in the world to McDonald. The river was the {2-Clubs}, eliminated the man with pocket nines. McDonald went from very short to 40,000, and Lachappelle won enough from the side pot to profit from the hand.
