We missed the betting action before each of their stacks got in the middle but Noeung Troeung was in the small blind and had John Helou at risk out of the big blind.
Troeung: 
Helou: 
The board ran out 
and Helou paired his ace on the turn to score a double up.
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 
to give him two pair to possible make a bigger boat on the river. Sure enough, the river was the and the entire table erupted as Provost backed into a bigger full house to stay alive.
Tristan Bergeron was short for a lot of the day but a player in early position shoved for 102,000 and he re-shoved from middle position for his last 140,000.
The early-position player tabled 
but was in rough shape against Bergeron's .
The flop came 
and Bergeron was in the clear for now. The turn was the 
to give his opponent a straight-flush draw. The river was the 
and Bergeron held to send his opponent to the rail and chip up a little bit.

Six levels have been played here on Day 2 and the remaining players have been sent on a 15-minute break. An updated leaderboard will follow.
With about 160,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, William Blais shoved on Jeff Cormier. Blais' all-in was for about 170,000 and after a few moments in the tank, Cormier mucked.
The two highly-skilled players have been butting heads for the last few levels and Blais finally stung Cormier back.
