Level 26 : 50,000/50,000, 100,000 ante
Kevin Rivest
Kevin Rivest

On a board reading {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Kevin Rivest had about 900,000 behind in the big blind and got his remaining stack in the middle against Maurice Simard on the button.

Rivest tabled {j-Clubs}{9-Spades} for top pair, but ran into Simard's {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for a set of threes. The turn was the {j-Diamonds} to give Rivest some outs to survive, but the river was the {8-Diamonds} to send him to the rail.

Debra Ann Holman entered Day 4 with her sites set on a second major final table of the 2017 World Cup of Cards after finishing runner-up in the Grand Prix Canada.

Holman got her stack in the middle preflop and had Donghai Lu dominated.

Holman: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Lu: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board, however, had other ideas running out {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Holman hit the rail in 22nd place banking $6,250.

Michael Khan Shoves the Flop

Level 26 : 50,000/50,000, 100,000 ante

Carlos Gerones raised to 250,000 from middle position and action was on Michael Khan in the cutoff. He paused for a moment and three-bet to 700,000. Fakher Alizai was on the button and cold-called, prompting Gerones to call as well.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Gerones checked. Khan shoved for 2,200,000, and Alizai went into the tank. He thought for a while but eventually folded. Gerones muck as well, sending a bit pot over to Khan without needing to go to showdown.

Khan Coolered by Abdelhamid

Level 26 : 50,000/50,000, 100,000 ante

When a {3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop hit the board, a raise war between Faisal Khan and Karim Abdelhamid kicked off and ended with Khan all-in and at risk.

Khan: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Abdelhamid: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

An unfortunate spot for Khan and his run would come to an end getting no help from the {4-Diamonds} on the turn and river {a-Diamonds}.

Giquere Falls to Magni

Level 26 : 50,000/50,000, 100,000 ante

Jean-Simon Giguere opened to 225,000 and Tomas Larivee Magni re-popped him, making it 830,000 to go. Giguere four-bet jammed and Magni called.

Giguere: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Magni: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Things were looking good for Giguere until a nine hit the turn on the {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} board and he was eliminated early on Day 4 taking home $6,250.

Puchalski Jams the River in a Massive Pot

Level 26 : 50,000/50,000, 100,000 ante

On a board reading {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Fakher Alizai checked from the small blind and Alexander Puchalski bet 200,000 from early position. Alizai instantly check-raised to 550,000 and Puchalski called.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and Alizai put in another quick bet - this time for 800,000. Puchalski called.

The river was the {5-Hearts}. Alizai paused this time and then announced a bet of 1,200,000. Puchalski went into the tank for a minute and then shoved, putting Alizai to the test for his remaining 2,900,000. Alizai tank-folded.

Everyone Loves a Chop Pot! Right?

Level 26 : 50,000/50,000, 100,000 ante

Fakher Alizai's open to 225,000 under-the-gun was three-bet to 800,000 by Garrett Dansereau on the cutoff. Alizai then four-bet jammed having Dansereau covered. Dansereau decided rather quickly to make the call, putting himself at risk.

Alizai: {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Dansereau: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

As soon as the {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop fell, the whole table knew it would end in a chop and sure enough, a {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} run out secured a half for each player.
