Coulombe Wins the Flip
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The action folded to Benoit Coulombe in late position who opened to 20,000 before the action moved to Sebastian Vezina on the button who put in a three-bet to 65,000. It folded back to Coulombe who only took moment before moving all in. Vezina was holding a very similar stack and a call meant that the both players would be crippled of eliminated with a loss. He thought it through and opted to stick in the chips. It ended up being a flip.
Benoit Coulombe: A♠K♠ 
Sebastian Vezina: J♥J♠
The 5♦7♠10♥ flop looked safe for the jacks and the 4♦ turn did too. Unfortunately, the dealer burned and turned the K♣ river giving Coulombe the win and leaving Veznia with just 2.5 big blinds.
