Battle of the Blinds
With a flop exposed in the middle of the felt we saw Noah Vaillencourt check-raise to 200,000 of a min-bet from Jamie Armstrong. Armstrong then came back over the top and made it 450,000, to which Vaillencourt responded by making it 960,000. It all came to an end though when Armstrong moved all in and Vaillencourt snap folded.
