Lachancing It

While the tournament was being played hand for hand, Ludovic Lachance was all in for his tournament life. The board showed {6-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}, Lachance held {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the straight, and Christopher Giannell had {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair.

The river was the {6-Spades}, and Lachance survived.
