Goulet Jams River, McLaughlin Surrenders

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

With a board of {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Hearts}, Francois Goulet check-shoved a bet of 62,500 from Marc-Etienne McLaughlin, all-in for 443,500. The pot already had almost 150,000 in the middle.

McLaughlin went into the tank, agonizing over what Goulet was shoving with. "ace-jack?", McLaughlin asked Goulet. The two exchanged some more words and eventually McLaughlin mucked his hand.

Chanracy Khun Bubbles, Eliminated in 6th

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Chanracy Khun
Chanracy Khun

Chanracy Khun open-shoved preflop and Marc-Etienne McLaughlin snap-called.

Khun: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
McLaughlin: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Khun was the player at risk and needed some assistance to keep his tournament alive. The board ran out {k-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and although he picked up a slew of outs on the turn, the river bricked out and McLaughlin was able to fade Khun's draws to put the remaining five players into the money.
