Charette Chips Up

On a flop that read {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, the player in the big blind checked to Simon Charette who led out for 1,100. The player in the hijack called and the big blind folded before Charette checked the turn of the {2-Diamonds}.

Charette check-raised after the hijack's bet of 1,100, which was more than enough to put the hijack player all in. The player elected to lay his hand down.

We're pleased to report that the official number for WSOP Event #56 is 3,389. Understandably, to be able to calculate the prize pool is going to take some time. It should be up very soon - stay tuned!
