Canali Invents a Wheel

We caught up just a bit late, so here's what we know. It was a heads-up pot when we walked up to a flop of {A-Spades} {5-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. It was heads up between Pierre Canali and Pascal LeFrancois, and the betting action on the flop (we missed exactly what it was) put 2,600 chips in the pot going to the turn.

It was the {7-Diamonds}, and LeFrancois put out a bet of 1,700. Canali made a smooth and deliberate call, and the {Q-Diamonds} filled out the board on fifth street. Not slowing down, LeFrancois slid out 4,000 chips in one final bet. Canali plucked 4,000 chips from his big stack and tossed them into the pot.

LeFrancois showed up {A-Clubs} {5-Spades} for two pair, but he had been outflopped. Canali's {2-Hearts} {4-Clubs} was good for the wheel and the pot, and he's back over 50,000 once again.
