Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A hand at table 53 played out that had it all, ending with a quadruple up for Sylvain Imbeault. The action was hard to track but when we approached the table, there were chips in front of everyone, and the all-in plaque placed in front of Imbeault.

The big blind was 600 and at least six players from the table had out in that much. There was then a raise to 2,600 which four players had called before Imbeault raised all-in. The shove received calls by Christopher Baaklini, Eric Dahan, and Josef Ares and a flop of was seen.

The three players still left with chips checked to the on the turn. Ares bet 6,000 and both players folded.

Ares:
Imbeault:

Imbeault was ahead, making a pair pf jacks on the turn and held through the river to claim the massive quadruple up.
