Bjorin Doubles, Bichon Crippled

[user46392]

Up on the Centre Main Court Public Obvious Table (not its official name), Chris Bjorin seems to have doubled through Thomas Bichon, somewhat lowering the chances of back-to-back WPT and WSOPE wins for the Frenchman.

We're not sure how the action went, but the cards looked as follows:

Bjorin: {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}
Bichon: {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds}

Board: {2-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}

However that came to pass, the stacks stand at Bjorin 624,000, Bichon 136,000 and the metaphorical PokerNews wooden spoon that means he is now the shortest stack in the tournament.

By the by, while the Bjorin/Bichon hand was taking place, Barry Shulman got up, holding a stack of chips, and walked all the way around the table to deliver those chips into the stack of Tony Cousineau. We're assuming (hoping) that Shulman was giving Cousineau change rather than anything weirder than that.
