Pandilica Alin - 9th Place

Eric Levesque raised to 61,000 from first position. Severely short-stacked Pandilica Alin called all in for 49,000. The big blind, Francis-Nicolas Bouchard called as well.

Alin stood from his seat and caught eyes with Carlos Giron who was seated next to him. Alin asked, "You want to see my hand?" to Giron as the crowd began to stir and the dealer was pulling in the chips. Alin slid his hand over a foot or two and picked it up, showing Giron the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

. He then said, "You know this hand, right?" and the two laughed.

The flop was dealt {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

and both remaining players checked. The turn was the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

with Bouchard and Levesque checking again. The river was the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

and Bouchard looked as if he wanted to make a bet, but decided on checking. Levesque also checked, revealing the hands.

Bouchard: {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

Levesque:

{K-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

Alin:

{10-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

Bouchard had made a straight and would take the pot, eliminating Alin in 9th place and eneding the day.
