Hand #197 - Maxime Villemure Doubles Up

Glen Chorny has the button in seat 7.

Maxime Villemure opens the pot with a standard pre-flop raise and Isaac Baron counters with a 650,000 reraise. Villemure then opts to shove all of his chips into the middle and Baron makes a quick call:

Baron: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Villemure: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Board: {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Maxime's queens hold up to take down the pot, doubling him through to 3,970,000 in chips; he's now got a slight chip lead over his final table opponents. Baron drops to 1,495,000 after the loss.

Hand #196 - Glen Chorny

The button is with Maxime Villemure in Seat 6.

Glen Chorny raises it 220,000 and Isaac Baron makes a tired-looking call.

The flop is {2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Chorny leads out for 375,000 to take down the pot.
