: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Kevin Boudreau opened to 200,000 under the gun, and Reza Yazdi three-bet to 575,000 in the small blind. Boudreau called, and the flop came 
. Yazdi fired 1 million, and Boudreau thought for a bit and called. The turn brought a 
. Yazdi checked after some time, and Boudreau immediately checked it back. On the 
river, Yazdi bet 1.5 million, about what Boudreau had left. Boudreau leaned forward put his head in his hand for the first at the final table, clearly deep in thought. He slid forward a few stacks, counting down what he had left. About 30 seconds later, he placed one of them in the middle.
Yazdi rapped the table and tossed 
into the middle, an airball.
"Show the pocket pair," Max Chrisp said. "Show the pocket pair!"
Indeed, Boudreau rolled over 
, and his rail celebrated wildly.

Max Chrisp opened for 375,000 in the cutoff, and John Beauprez jammed for 1.33 million in the big blind. Chrisp asked for a count, and after another minute or so, he called.
Chrisp: 
Beauprez: 
"Diamonds are forever, baby," Chrisp said.
No diamonds arrived as it was black cards making up the 
flop. The turn lessened Beauprez's chopping chances, and the 
river meant Chrisp's kicker played for the knockout.

The tide is starting to turn against Kevin "Phwap" Boudreau, as players at the table are now responding to his aggression. Reza Yazdi just four-bet jammed after opening the button, being called by Max Chrisp, and seeing Boudreau three-bet. He got a fold, as did Wistar Holt on each of three recent shoves over Boudreau opens.
