Mathyeu Provost moved all-in from early position for his last 136,000 chips and got a call from Robert Laberge in middle position.
Provost tabled 
and was up against Laberge's 
for a flip. The flop came 
and Provost paired his ace but Laberge also flopped a set. It was looking grim for Provost but the turn was the
