Helou Doubles Blind Vs Blind

Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

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: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Helou: {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Helou paired his ace on the turn to score a double up.

Mathyeu Provost Backs Into a Bigger Boat to Survive

Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

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 {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} and was up against Laberge's {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a flip. The flop came {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Provost paired his ace but Laberge also flopped a set. It was looking grim for Provost but the turn was the {j-Diamonds} to give him two pair to possible make a bigger boat on the river. Sure enough, the river was the {a-Diamonds} and the entire table erupted as Provost backed into a bigger full house to stay alive.

Bergeron Re-Builds

Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

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 {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} but was in rough shape against Bergeron's {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Bergeron was in the clear for now. The turn was the {q-Clubs} to give his opponent a straight-flush draw. The river was the {5-Spades} and Bergeron held to send his opponent to the rail and chip up a little bit.
