Salvador Villaluz Rivers a Straight Against Andrew Boujaoude

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The board read {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Salvador Villaluz went all in. He had Andrew Boujaoude covered. Boujaoude only had 5,000 behind.

He didn't take too long to call and put himself at risk with {q-}{q-} for a set of queens, but Villaluz turned over {9-}{9-} for a straight and Boujaoude was eliminated.

Both players played the Quantam event last night and Boujaoude punched his ticket through to Day 2 of that event and took home CAD $400 for his effort.

Isabelle Tremblay in the Field

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Isabelle Tremblay
Isabelle Tremblay

Isabelle Tremblay is part of the Day 1a field at WPT National Montreal. She is sitting with a little more than half of the starting stack. She became a well known name in Canada after four seasons in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series. She currently has $321 in tournament winnings with only one cash.

The WPT National would be as good a time as any to make a deep run and earn her first four-figure poker score. The CAD $400,000 Guarantee and seven starting flights should build a healthy prize pool.

Fabio Luongo Active Early

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Fabio Luongo
Fabio Luongo

Fabio Luongo has been very active early. He played three hands in a row and got paid off when he rivered a full house with {9-}{5-}. The board read {a-}{9-}{7-}{5-}{5-} and his opponent checked. Luongo bet 3,500 and his opponent called.

Luongo is the younger brother of Roberto Luongo, a long-time goalie in the National Hockey League and an avid poker player. Fabio has earned just over $54,000 USD in tournament winnings. He is sitting a bit above the starting stack as the first level comes to a close.
