Tremblay's Tens Can't Hold, Tran Takes Out Moretti
Co Tran just won a three-way all in with an ace on the river to keep his tournament hopes alive.
The action started when Orlando Moretti shoved all in for just over 3,000 and Tran shoved over the top. Michael Malm took a moment to decide his next move, while Isabelle Tremblay, who was next to act, waited patiently. Malm eventually folded and Tremblay quickly went all in as well. She had both players covered and was in the lead with .
Tran had and Moretti had . The board ran out , giving Tran the last second win. Moretti was eliminated and Tremblay lost a little less than 3,000 chips.
Within the next two hands, Malm opened to 1,500 and Tremblay shoved all in. Malm folded and Tremblay took down the pot.
"There, you got your money back," a player at the table said.
With that pot, Tremblay was almost back to her stack before she lost the three-way all in.

The Most Disappointed Person in the Field Might Be the Guy Who Cashed Twice Already
Rodney Ramalho was in the first few flights of WPT National Montreal. He took yesterday off, after making two deep runs on consecutive days.
The flights started at 10 a.m. and each flight has been roughly 12 hours long. Ramalho has made the last table of two different starting flights, cashed two times for CAD $1,250 each, but failed to make Day 2. Both days he hit a bit of a wall and was eliminated just before the Day 2 bubble.
The first time he was eliminated, he ran queens into kings and both he and his opponent flopped sets. He didn't make quads and was eliminated seventh. Five people made Day 2 from that flight. The next day, he was sitting at 455,000 after eliminating Norman Messier. The blinds were 3,000 and 6,000 with an ante of 1,000. By the next level he would be eliminated in sixth place, one step closer to Day 2, but still one step too short.
He doubled up Daniel Charette and then continued to lose pots until he finally busted. Ramalho has taken home CAD $2,500 from WPT National Montreal so far, but after two long days and only a couple min cashes to show for it, Ramalho might be the most disappointed person in the tournament, despite being the only player to cash twice.
