Andre Pelletier

With about 1,300,000 in the pot, on a board reading {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Ari Engel led out for 535,000 from the small blind. Andre Pelletier was in the big blind and raised to 1,535,000. Engel clicked it back and made it 2,535,000 to go. Pelletier hesitated but called.

The turn was the {k-Spades}. Engel led out for 1,075,000 this time. Pelletier seemed unsure yet again, but eventually decidedto shove for 2,300,000. Engel called.

Pelletier was at risk with {q-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a pair of queens, but was dominated by Engel's {q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for two pair queens and sevens. The river was the {2-Diamonds} for a big brick and Pelletier was eliminated.

Level 20 : 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

Jonathan Marrie managed to get his money in the middle before the flop with {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, with his opponent holding {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for a cooler.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Marrie still held a commanding lead with aces. The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Marrie left his opponent drawing dead to the {q-Hearts} on the river.

Marrie sits on a stack worth 17,700,000 and is right in the thick of it now.
