Thomas Boivin Eliminated in 8th Place ($905,000)
Level 29
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Joao Simao raised to 600,000 in middle position. Thomas Boivin then three-bet to 4,000,000 on the button, risking about two-thirds of his stack.
Seth Davies was in the small blind and four-bet jammed, quickly folding out Simao with A♣4♠. Boivin reluctantly called off his remaining chips, putting him at risk of elimination.
Thomas Boivin: A♦J♦
Seth Davies: A♠K♦
Boivin was in bad shape, and the 7♠8♦2♣3♥6♠ board did nothing to save him. Boivin packed his bags in eighth place, while Davies chipped up to share the chip lead with Simao.
