Patrick Tardif

Max Young raised to 35,000 from the cutoff, and Patrick Tardif, who was able to spin his 40,000 stack back up to 225,000, called in the big blind.

Tardif checked a {q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop to Young, who bet 35,000. Tardif check-raised all in for 175,000 and Young snap-called.

Patrick Tardif: {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Max Young: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

"Very fair, very fair," Tardif said upon seeing his top pair was against a gutshot straight-flush draw. "Just don't leave me dead on the turn."

Tardif's wish wasn't granted, however, as the {4-Diamonds} hit the turn, giving Young the flush, and Tardif made his exit after the {10-Spades} hit the river.
