Girard's Stack Yo-Yoing
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Hugues Girard's stack is going up and down like a yo-yo!
First, Girard opened to 100,000 from middle position and Paco Kaplan shoved for 825,000 from the big blind. Girard called.
Paco Kaplan: A♣K♠ 
Hugues Girard: 9♠9♦
Girard lost the flip as Kaplan made two pair on the K♥Q♦7♦Q♠A♠ runout.
Not long after, the action fodled to John Armbrust in the small blind who shoved, and Girard snap-called from the big blind for 355,000.
Hugues Girard: K♦7♥
John Armbrust: 10♣10♦
"Tens?!' said Girard. Though he didn't need to worry as he paired his king on the K♣J♣Q♠2♣5♦ board, which kept him alive.
