Poitra Takes Most of It From Leclerc; Scarborough Finishes the Job
Joe Opiola was down to his last 5,000 chip and tossed it in the middle from under the gun. Six players called, but Claire Leclerc then moved all in from the big blind. William Poitra called for 48,000 in early position, and the rest of the table folded.
Joe Opiola: Q♣6♥
William Poitra: A♣Q♠
Claire Leclerc: A♦J♠
The board ran out 5♥2♣2♦9♥10♥ and Poitra took the pot with his queen-kicker to send Opiola to the rail and double up off Leclerc.
The next hand, Anthony Scarborough raised to 8,500 under the gun and Mitch Hogue called in the hijack. Leclerc then moved all in for 33,000 in the small blind, and only Scarborough called.
Claire Leclerc: K♦Q♦
Anthony Scarborough: A♥J♠
The flop came 8♥6♥3♦, while the J♥ turn improved Scarborough to top pair and a flush draw. Leclerc missed the 10♣ river, and she was eliminated.
