Value for Fortin-Demers; Brindise Busts

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Alex Fortin-Demers opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and called when Sirzat Hissou made it 20,000 from the button.

Fortin-Demers check-called for 15,000 on the K82 before the 5 turn checked through to the 2 river. Fortin-Demers led out for 15,000 and was called. He tabled A8 for eights and deuces, which prompted Hissou to muck.

Meanwhile, on a neighboring table, Pedro Padilha eliminated William Brindise. Padilha held AxQx for top pair, top kicker, which was enough to beat Brindise’s Kx10x for a pair of tens.
