From late position, Jonathan Gagnon moved in for his last 96,000 preflop. Philip Meulyzer made the call from the button and tabled {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} which was behind Gagnon's {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Both players found a pair when the flop came {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and Meulyzer needed one of the two remaining threes to knock out Gagnon. Unfortunately for Gagnon, the {3-Hearts} fell on the river and he was sent home, collecting $24,105 in prize money.

Gagnon Stayin' Alive

Jonathan Gagnon moved all in from the cutoff after being severely short stacked and was called by Byron Kaverman from the big blind. Gagnon held {Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} but was crushed by Kaverman's {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Fortunately for Gagnon, the flop brought him fortune, falling {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}. Gagnon retained the lead through the turn and river of {3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} respectively. Gagnon is still severely short, but staying alive in this tournament.
