Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
After a big double up, Jeffrey Cormier went from a shorter stack to contending with the chip leaders with five left. He has been pretty aggressive and on this hand, that aggression continued.
Alexander Villa opened to 80,000 and Cormier three-bet from the big blind. Villa called and the two players saw the 
flop.
Cormier led for 250,000 and Villa seemed to smirk a little then tossed his cards into the muck.
