Jason Conforti - 9th Place ($500)

Jason Conforti, Maurice Simard, and William Blais got all in preflop. Conforti was the short stack with only 29,000, and Blais had Simard covered. Simard would overtake the chip lead and eliminate Conforti thanks to the turn card.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and the three players each decided which cards to throw away. After the discard, Blais showed {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, Simard showed {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}, and Conforti showed {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Conforti was in the lead.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, giving Simard the pot and the river was of no consequence. Conforti was sent packing and Simard took over the chip lead from Blais. As Conforti was walking to get his payout, Simard waved goodbye.
