Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jeremy Geist

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Lane Gets One Through

Jeremy Geist

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Anthony Potis limped in early position before the action made it to Zacharie Desautels in the small blind who called and the Deven Lane checked his option in the big blind.

The 10x10x5x rainbow board landed and it checked to Potis who put out a small bet. It was back on Desautels who put in a raise and without wasting much time, Lane put in a three-bet.

Both of his opponents gave it a think but eventually found a fold and Lane promptly tabled the Q♦6♦ for the stone cold bluff with a smile.

Charles-Eric Benoit Eliminated in 8th Place ($4,400)

Jeremy Geist

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

All of the chips made their way in to the middle before the flop between Charles-Eric Benoit who was working off a short stack and Nicolas Duteau. The remaining players got out of the way and they saw a heads up race between the ace-king of Benoit and the jack-ten of Duteau.

There would be a ten in the window and Benoit would not be able to improve. He hit the rail after starting the day as the chip leader.
