Level 31 : 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

Angelo Kociper moved all in for around 2,500,000 in middle position and Giancarlo Santolin also pushed all in for 2,115,000 in the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were tabled.

Thibodeau Sends One Packing

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

There was an all-in for around 3,100,000 and Jacob Thibodeau was in the big blind with a stack of just over 4,000,000. Thibodeau eyed up the stack and then stuck in some chips to call.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Jacob Thibodeau: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

It turned out to be a coin flip and Thibodeau would hold the lead after the {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. The {8-Clubs} on the turn and the {a-Hearts} on the river changed nothing and Thibodeau eliminated his opponent.
