Chan: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Waxman: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Regina: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

The river brought the {K-Hearts} and Waxman got a full triple up. Regina took down the side pot.

Terrence Chan Eliminated by Anthony Zinno

Level 24 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante
Terrence Chan
Terrence Chan

Terrence Chan moved all in for his last 4,000,000 chips and was called by Anthony Zinno.

Zinno tabled {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} while Chan held {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Zinno extended his lead, making a pair of aces. Chen paired his jack, but was unable to hit his king since it would give Zinno a straight. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the river was the {8-Diamonds}. Neither player held a diamond and Zinno earned the pot and the elimination.

Hailing from Boston, Zinno is no stranger to Canada. He holds a Word Poker Tour title from Niagara Falls, Canada and his other two cashes have been right here in Montreal. He made a deep run in February and looks to snag himself another title on Canadian soil.

Funny enough, Chan hails from British Columbia, Canada but the majority of his cashes come from the United States.

Cate Hall Decides to Four-Bet Min-Click It Against Sam Trickett

Level 24 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante
Cate Hall
Cate Hall

Action folded around to Cate Hall on the button, and she raised to 800,000. Sam Trickett was in the big blind and decided to three-bet to 2,400,000. Hall reached into her stack and decided to put in a four bet to 4,400,000, which was an exact min-raise.

Trickett took a look at Hall's remaining chips, which appeared to be about 6,300,000. After a few moments, he began to re-adjust himself in his seat several times, clearly agonizing over his decision. He looked back at his cards, and after about four minutes he opted to fold.

Hall flashed a smile, and took one last look at her cards before tossing them into the muck. Hall has been spinning her stack up, and now sits on a healthy stack of 14 million.

Level 24 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

The action was folded around to Stephan Chartrand on the button who raised to 900,000. Jimmy Lee was in the small blind and re-raised to 2,200,000; the big blind folded. Chartrand four-bet to 3,500,000 and Lee called.

The flop came {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Lee checked to Chartrand who bet 3,375,000 and Lee called.

The turn was an {8-Clubs} and both players checked.

The {9-Spades} came on the river and Lee moved all in for just over 12,000,000, only to have Chartrand snap call. Lee tabled {A-Spades}{6-Spades} and Chartrand had an over pair {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}.

Kevin Rivest Enjoys His New Table

Level 24 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Kevin Rivest is enjoying the likes of his new table thus far. As he barely sat down at his new seat, Rivest tossed out a raise of 900,000 from late position. Viet Van Vo was the only caller from the big blind.

The dealer spread the flop of {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Van Vo checked his option. Rivest bet 750,000 and Van Vo called.

On the {4-Spades} turn, Van Vo led out for 1,100,000. Rivest decided to raise to 2,400,000 and Van Vo called.

When the {J-Spades} hit the river bringing four cards to a flush on the board, Van Vo checked and Rivest put out a bet of 4,600,000. Van Vo tossed his cards away in disgust and Rivest scooped the pot.
