Fernandez Falls to Mezheritsky

Level 7 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Vlad Mezheritsky opened to 26,000 from middle position and got flatted by the player to his immediate left. Action folded around to Daune Fernandez in the big blind who three-bet jammed for 231,000. Mezheritsky called and the other player folded.

Fernandez: {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Mezheritsky: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Fernandez hit the rail, able to fire another bullet today or wait until tomorrow if he so chooses.

Foxen Clips Cormier

Level 7 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

As we approached the table, Jeff Cormier's seat appeared to be empty and Alex Foxen was stacking up a massive pile of chips. According to Foxen, Cormier opened to 30,000 and Foxen three-bet to 84,000. Cormier called.

The flop was {8-}{7-}{5-} and Cormier check-called a bet of 94,000. The {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn putting two diamonds on the board and Foxen shoved after Cormier checked again. Cormier was covered by Foxen and called to put himself at risk.

Foxen: {a-}{a-}
Cormier: {5-}{4-}

The river bricked and Foxen raked in the huge pot as Cormier left the table.

Labbe Loading Up

Level 8 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

About 10 minutes before, Kyle Bowker and Sam Chartier were seen at the table along side Sebastien Labbe. The next time we came to the table, Chartier's, Bowker's and a third seat at the table were empty and Labbe's stack and grown almost three times.

According to Labbe, he flopped a set and got both Bowker and a third player at the table to donate their chips to the pot.

Labbe is up over 4,000,000 now. Chartier has re-entered and has retaken a seat at the very same table he departed just a few moments before.

Cadorette Finds a Spot

Level 9 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

According to his table, Jean Francois Cadorette hadn't found many spots to put his chips to work. Cadorette's stack hadn't budged much from his initial starting count but after a player in early position moved all-in for about 230,000, Cadorette three-bet shoved and cleared the rest of the table.

Cadorette: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Cadorette was able to drag in a nice pot to boost himself back over starting stack.
