Louie Triples; Franklin Eliminates Fehr

Level 12 : 12,000/24,000, 2,500 ante

Ryan Franklin was in middle position and raised to 55,000. Laurence Louie had 509,000 behind and moved all in from the cutoff. Gerald Fehr was in the small blind and four-bet to 1,100,000. Franklin had a decision to make and chose to move all in for just over three million. Fehr had about 2,600,000 and called.

Louie: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Franklin: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Fehr: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

All three players held a pair, but Franklin had the best of it, and both Louie and Fehr were both at risk.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Louie went from worst to best with a set of tens. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Fehr needed a lone jack to stay alive. The river was the {4-Hearts} and Louie secured the triple up while Fehr was eliminated.

Franklin won a sizable side pot even though Louie scooped up the main.

Noah Vaillancourt Jams the River

Level 12 : 12,000/24,000, 2,500 ante

Noah Vaillancourt raised to 52,000 from early position and the player in the big blind decided to defend.

The flop came {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and the big blind checked. Vaillancourt bet 40,000, and his opponent put in a check-raise to 100,000. Vaillancourt called.

The turn was the {j-Hearts} and both players checked to the river, which was the {q-Hearts}. The big blind led out for 600,000, and Vaillancourt went into the tank. After about a minute, he moved all in and his opponent snap-folded.

Upeshka De Silva was on his right and said, "I was just thinking it would've been such a baller move if you shoved with just a queen or a jack there."

Largest Pot of the Day

Level 12 : 12,000/24,000, 2,500 ante

In what was the largest pot of the day early on, Darren Elias found himself on the wrong side of the turn. There was already around 500,000 in the pot preflop as Elias (cutoff) was heads-up with Marc Guerbilsky (big blind). Guerbilsky checked the flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Elias proceeded to bet 400,000. Guerbilsky raised to 1,125,000 and Elias called.

The turn was a {2-Diamonds} and Guerbilsky moved all in for 2,170,000. Elias made the call but was rather disappointed to see that the turn, in fact, was not very kind to him.

Elias: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Guerbilsky: {A-Spades}{2-Spades}

Elias could not catch a four on the river and the dealer pushed most of his, once large stack, across the table to his opponent.

Aces vs Kings for Caza

Level 12 : 12,000/24,000, 2,500 ante

Marco Caza found himself in the perfect situation when he looked down and saw that he was holding {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}. Jonathan Garneau was holding {K-}{K-} and inevitably the two players got all the chips in the middle preflop.

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, securing the win for Caza and increasing his stack to a healthy 6,600,000. Unfortunately for Garneau, his tournament life came to an end.
