Brutal Spot for Blouin-Verroeulst
Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
The action folded to the button where Sebastien Soares opened to 100,000. The small blind folded and then the action was on Stephane Blouin-Verroeulst who opted to three-bet to the tune of 270,000. It was back on Soares who only took a moment before ripping it all in for 1,200,000 effective.
Blouin-Verroeulst seemed to be in a brutal spot. Its late and the jam represented about 90% of his stack. After a few minutes he flicked in a call and the cards hit their backs.
Sebastien Soares: K♥J♠ 
Stephane Blouin-Verroeulst: Q♣Q♦
The situation was not as brutal as he thought and was in good shape to get the knockout. The full board ran out 10♣2♠4♣6♦9♠ and Soares hit the rail after the jam couldn't get through.

Level 24
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
The action folded to Seong Guan Teoh in early position who moved all in for his last 820,000. It folded to Jean-Pascal Gauthier on the button who only took a minute before also going all in for about 625,000. The small blind gave it a long think but folded what he said was nines. The big blind folded too and they were off to a full board with the cards on their backs.
Jean-Pascal Gauthier: A♠A♣
Seong Guan Teoh: A♥Q♠
The full board ran out 2♦Q♥J♥3♣K♣ and the aces held for Gauthier who left Teoh with only a few big blinds. He would get it all in the next hand but couldn't double and hit the rail in about 50th.

Dubreuil Almost Gets it Through
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Michel Dubreuil opened in middle position to 60,000 before getting called on the button by Derek Jonathan Van Lieshout and then the big blind defended. They were three-ways to a 4♣10♦3♥ flop and it checked all the way to Van Lieshout who bet 60,000. The big blind folded and Dubreuil put in a call.
The K♠ hit the turn and without wasting any time, Dubreuil led out for 80,000. Van Lieshout thought for awhile before calling and the Q♦ rolled off on the river.
Dubreuil led for another 130,000 and Van Lieshout went into the tank. He mulled it over for the better part of three-minutes before the chips went into the middle.
Dubreuil tabled A♥5♦ for just ace-high and Van Lieshout tabled K♥9♠ for top pair and the win.
