Alin Crippled by Bouchard

[user38449]

Action folded around to Francis-Nicolas Bouchard on the button who open-shoved all in for a total of 210,000. Eric Levesque folded his small blind and then the action fell to Pandilica Alin who asked for a count.

Once the dealer confirmed the number with the floorman, Alin announced, "OK, I call." Moments later the cards were on their backs:

Alin: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

Bouchard:

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

"Anything can happen here," injected Levesque, never missing an opportunity to offer his two cents.

The dealer then filled out the board: {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

in favor of Bouchard, who doubled through to just under 500,000 in chips. Alin was left with just 68,000 in the loss.
