Georato Busts Stevanovski

We caught up to the table to find Robert Stevanovski walking away as the dealer shouted "Pay out, 447!".

Raking in the pot was Robert Georato who had {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} in front of him with the board reading {2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The nuts were surely good enough to take the hand down and Table 447 is now five-handed.

Mccorkell: {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}

The flop gave Nguyen the lead when it fell {3-Spades} {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, but the turn shifted things back to Mccorkell when it came {10-Clubs}. The river fell {8-Spades} and Nguyen sent 46,000 chips over to Mccorkell.

Bellande Back In It

After missing almost the entire first level, we found Jean-Robert Bellande looking down at a board of {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Marc-Andre Ladouceur checked to Bellande and after about twenty seconds, Bellande checked back.

The board completed with the {A-Spades} and Ladouceur carefully counted out 11,700 in chips and dropped them into the middle.

"How much is that?", inquired Bellande.

Upon finding out, Bellande quickly announced a call and showed {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for treys full of nines. Ladouceur threw his hand away and Bellande dragged a pot that brought him almost back to his original starting stack for the day.
