Rene Bourbeau
Rene Bourbeau is developing a bit of a reputation as a mad French Canadian as he climbs the chip counts.
Diana Shamshoum led for 7,500 into a board three-handed moments ago and Bourbeau fired back with a massive raise to 95,000.
The third player folded and when Shamshoum asked Borbeau why he bet so much, he muttered back a myriad of reasons in french.
"What did he say?" Shamshoum asked the dealer.
