Play is now in the last level of the flight and players are trying desperately to build their stacks so that they can find a decent bag for Day 2. On table 32, all the chips went into the middle by three of the short stacks.
Michel Vigneault:
Zuhair Al-Pachachi:
Hicham El Yamani:
Al-Pachachi was feeling great, expecting a nice triple-up deep in level 14. The flop fell . All of the sudden Vigneault picked up a flush draw. The turn was safe for Al-Pachachi, however, the river completed a flush for Vigneault who knocked out both opponents while tripling his stack at a critical time.
A few minutes later Vigneault got his chips in with queen-nine and hit a queen on the flop to double-up. Level 14 has been gold for Vigneault.
