Isabelle Tremblay Eliminated in 13th Place ($1,250)

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Isabelle Tremblay
Isabelle Tremblay

Isabelle Tremblay was one of the shortest stacks during hand-for-hand play on the bubble. Tremblay even managed to double up twice to stay alive.

Tremblay got her chips in against Daune Fernandez, racing for her tournament life.

Tremblay: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Fernandez: {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Unfortunately for Tremblay, the flop came {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and the turn and river — {6-Hearts}{j-Clubs} — couldn't save her from elimination.

We didn't catch the action, but the seat formerly occupied by Etienne Clement is now empty. Clement had been nursing a short stack for the last few levels and was able to slide into the money, even finding a small pay jump. Clement received $1,150 for 14th place.

Forced to pay the big blind, Bradley Copestake had just 19,000 behind. After Matthew Wilkins opened, Niko Ghag three-bet to 127,000 and Copestake slid his remaining stack in the middle. Wilkins folded.

Copestake: {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Ghag: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Copestake found no help from the {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Spades} board and was eliminated in 15th place.

Moments after Jonathan Marrie doubled through Matthew Wilkins, Marrie three-bet jammed with pocket tens and ran smack into Wilkins again, holding pocket queens.

Wilkins: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Marrie: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Marrie was sent to the rail in 17th place, one off the money.
