Lavallee and the Twitter Slow Roll
Canadian Jason Lavallee is a world class troll on Twitter from time to time, and just now he even managed to trick the PokerNews crew. Lavallee Tweeted about the following hand, and we assumed he had hit the rail.
Four minutes after sending out this Tweet, Lavallee provided a 140-character napkin for the tears of his followers by sending out the rest of the hand.

Lavallee laughed upon discovering we fell for it as well when we spotted him still sitting in the tournament with 223,000 chips. The winner of the EPT London high roller explained what happened in the hands that he won, as he's currently doing quite well near the end of Day 2.
The player in the hijack raised to 4,500 and Lavallee three-bet from the cutoff to 11,000 and the action folded back to the initial raiser. Lavallee got four-bet to 23,000 and he responded by moving all in for 79,000. Lavallee got called by ace-queen and his queens, as described in the Tweets above, held up.
A little while later a player raised under the gun to 4,500 and Lavallee three-bet to 11,000 from the button. Lavallee opponent shoved for 60,000 with 
, and he hit the rail after losing to
