Goulet Jams River, McLaughlin Surrenders

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

McLaughlin went into the tank, agonizing over what Goulet was shoving with. "ace-jack?", McLaughlin asked Goulet. The two exchanged some more words and eventually McLaughlin mucked his hand.

Chanracy Khun Bubbles, Eliminated in 6th

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Chanracy Khun
Chanracy Khun

Chanracy Khun open-shoved preflop and Marc-Etienne McLaughlin snap-called.

Khun: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
McLaughlin: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Khun was the player at risk and needed some assistance to keep his tournament alive. The board ran out {k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and although he picked up a slew of outs on the turn, the river bricked out and McLaughlin was able to fade Khun's draws to put the remaining five players into the money.

Jean-Louis Cyr
Jean-Louis Cyr

Francois Goulet opened from the cutoff, Jean-Louis Cyr shoved all-in from the big blind for about 100,000, and Goulet snap-called.

Goulet: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Cyr: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Cyr was in big trouble, needing a miracle to stay alive. Unfortunately, he did not receive any help from the {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs} board and the remaining six players are now on the direct money bubble.
