Only four players remain at the final table. Although the first few orbits at the final table were uneventful, there was a flurry of action just prior to the break including eliminations on back to back hands.
Christopher Lau finished in eighth, good for a $320 payout. Shortly after, Eric Leblond hit the rail in seventh after three-bet shoving
and running into the initial raiser’s
. The eight-high board missed both players, and ace-high was good at showdown. Leblond will collect $420 for his final table appearance. Real Cantin and Janendra Mahendra Rajah were then eliminated one after the other at the hands of the current chip leader Charli Azoulay. Azoulay came from behind in both situations. First, by rivering a full house to beat Cantin’s turned straight and then by rivering a flush with pocket eights against Mahendra Rajah’s pocket aces following a preflop all in. Cantin and Mahendra Rajah will take home $550 and $720 respectively.
Play continues four-handed at the final table with Charli Azoulay in the driver’s seat thanks to his 645K stack. Sabin Levesque is second in chips with 565K, while Robert Gosselin is in third with 430K and Alexandre Menard rounds out the final four with 150K in chips.
