With the blinds at 500/1,000, after a limp, Dave Bolduc-Hamel raised up to 3,200. It folded to Matt O. on the button who three-bet to 7,000. When it was Julien Lemay’s turn to act out of the big blind, he four-bet to 21,000, prompting those not in the hand to look up and watch the action unfold. Bolduc-Hamel let go of his hand, and Matt O. kept munching on his snack while trying to decide what to do. After a few more bites of his celery, he smiled and mucked his hand.
Lemay was second in chips at the last break and is playing a healthy stack. Matt O. appears to still have about 36,000-38,000 chips, easily enough chips to continue on to the next battle.
