Antonin Tesseire came in raising the minimum, making it 200,000 to dance. Next to act was Alain Roy, and he bumped it up to 600,000. Action passed around back to Antonin, and he moved all in, being quickly called by Roy. With Antonin's tournament life again on the line, the hands were turned up:

Tesseire: {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs}
Roy: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}

The flop was quite nice for Roy, coming down {9-Spades} {J-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. The {2-Hearts} on the turn was a rag for both players, leaving Tesseire drawing to the four remaining non-spade fours and fives.

Wouldn't you know it, the {5-Hearts} ripped off on the river, drawing another huge roar from the crowd. For the second time in this level, Antonin Tesseire comes storming back from being a huge underdog to double up into contention. After that win, he sits pretty with 2,500,000.
