[Removed:105] Reenters

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

[Removed:105] has reentered. He started today's flight only seven hours after bagging the chip lead in Day 1a of the Quantam No Limit Tournament. He was short stacked and got all in for his last 1,675 in early position.

Three players called and the flop came {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Ye Sun opened the action betting 2,500 and the remaining players folded leaving Ravichandran heads up for his tournament life with Sun.

Sun turned over {7-}{6-} and Ravichandran had {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and the river was the {7-Spades}, giving Ravichandran the pot. That hand left him just under 20 big blinds and shortly after that he was heading to the rail. He has since reentered and is now back at the starting stack of 15,000

Pierre Gauthier Doubles Up

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

With around 9,500 in the middle and a completed board of {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} Pierre Gauthier moved all in for 8,675. After getting the count and a brief moment in the tank, Rami Hammoud tossed in a chip making the call.

Gauthier tabled {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a rivered flush and Hammoud tossed his cards in the muck. Rules state Hammoud had to show his cards and the dealer revealed {2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} before turning them back over and pushing the pot to Gautheir.

William Blais Knocks Out Badri Abboud

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Willaim Blais
Willaim Blais

Day 1a of the WPT National Montreal is going strong with 53 players remaining of the 64 entries. William Blais is off to a solid start with almost 60,000 from his original 15,000 starting stack. On this hand, he knocks out Badri Abboud.

The hand started when Laurence Louie opened to 650 and Abboud called in position. Blais was sitting on the button and he raised to 2,350. Both Louie and Abboud called.

When all three players checked the {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, it looked like there might not be much action. However, the turn was the {a-Hearts} and Blais was last to act. He made it 4,000 and Louie folded. Abboud called and the two players were heads up to the river.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and Abboud checked to Blais for a third time. Blais went all in, putting Abboud at risk. Abboud didn't take too long to calll and Blais turned over {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two pair. Abboud mucked his hand and handed his chips over to the dealer.
