Phillips Takes the Chip Lead Back

Level 22 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action folded to Sam Phillips on the button and he raised to 900,000. Pascal Lefrancois was in the small blind and decided to defend.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Lefrancois checked. Phillips bet 1,100,000 and Lefrancois called

The turn was the {5-Clubs}. Lefrancois checked again and Phillips bet 3,500,000 this time. Lefrancois tanked but opted to fold.

Phillips has been chipping up and has crossed the 40-million chip mark to take the lead once again. Lefrancois has a hefty stack as well after starting the day with 850,000. He now sits on 28,000,000.

Dang That River!

Level 23 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Action folded to Patrick Serda on the button and he raised to 900,000. Khaly Dang was in the big blind and decided to defend.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {q-Hearts} on the turn and then the {7-Spades} on the river. Dang checked again and Serda bet 1,200,000. Dang quickly called and Serda tabled {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for two pair jacks and sevens. Dang mucked.

Lo Russo Scoops the Biggest Pot of the Tournament for a Monster Lead

Level 22 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Maurizio Lo Russo
Maurizio Lo Russo

Paul Dalrymple raised to 1,000,000 from early position and Nicky Evans three-bet to 2,700,000. Maurizio Lo Russo was in the cutoff and called, as did Dalrymple.

The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Dalrymple checked. Evans bet 5,500,000 and Lo Russo decided to shove for 17,275,000. Dalrymple had 15,925,000 and quickly called for less. Action was on Evans now and it was costing him about 12 million in chips to play. He decided it was worth the gamble and called.

Paul Dalrymple: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Maurizio Lo Russo: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Nicky Evans: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

Dalrymple flopped a vulnerable straight, with Lo Russo flopped the nut flush draw against Evans' inferior flush draw.

The turn was the {8-Spades} to leave Dalrymple drawing dead, but Evans still had a straight-flush draw. Unfortunately for him, the river was the {5-Diamonds} and Dalrymple was eliminated while Lo Russo almost fully tripled up.

Evans was left with 3,000,000 and busted in an inconsequential hand to bust.

Foxen Doubles Through Labbe

Level 22 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

On the turn of a {j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Spades} board, Sebastien Labbe bet 850,000 and Alex Foxen shoved for 2,825,000. Labbe thought for about a minute before making the call.

Foxen: {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Labbe: {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

As soon as Foxen tabled his hand, Labbe tossed his cards in face-down, knowing he was drawing dead. The dealer turned them over and Foxen scored the double up after the river completed the board.

La Boissonniere: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Beaulieu: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and the Playground1000 Champion's Canadian Poker Championship run came to an end.

Three Treys for Charette

Level 23 : 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

The player in the hijack raised to 1,200,000 and the player in the cutoff called. Duff Charette was on the button and three-bet jammed for 8,100,000. The hijack shoved over the top for 10,400,000 and the cutoff folded.

Charette was at risk with {3-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, up against {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for a coin flip.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs} to pair the hijack's king, but Charette also flopped a set to take a commanding lead. The turn, however, was the {5-Hearts} to give the hijack a flush draw for a sweat. The river was the {6-Spades} and Charette was able to sit back in his seat and rake in the double.
