A table change can often make or break one’s tournament life. And sometimes you think that you are in a great spot but the poker gods may have other plans for you.

As the tournament moved to two tables, action was opened by Francine Baillargeon and on her direct left, Catherine St-Pierre was delighted to look down at a pair of kings and she moved all in. Baillargeon made the call with ace-queen and it just wasn’t meant to be for St-Pierre as the dealer put out an ace on the flop.

Many players call pocket kings “ace magnets” as it often seems that an ace will come when you have those cowboys. It was an unfortunate turn of events for St-Pierre, who took the beat with grace as she wished all of the other players good luck. What appeared like a magical table change for her ended up costing her the tournament.
