Normandin Spikes the RIver

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Jeremy Normandin
Jeremy Normandin

We missed the action during the hand but as we arrived to the table, the dealer was cutting down Jeremy Normandin's stack. The board read {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and in front of Normandin was {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

The dealer then moved on to count Keren Kats' stack and after gathering the amount to cover Normandin's all-in, Kats was left short.
