Richez Hits a Half-Million
Thomas Boivin went all in from early position and was called by Clement Richez who was in the cutoff. The remaining players folded and the dealer announced for both hands to be tabled for the all-in situation's pending runout.
Thomas Boivin: 
Clement Richez: 
The flop came 
, giving Boivin a couple of backdoor opportunities. However, the turn 
took them all away to leave him with just three outs, none of which would hit as the river 
paired the board and resulted in his elimination from the tournament. Meanwhile, Richez now finds himself with 505,000 and is one of the larger stacks in the room with the tournament clock reading 176 remaining players, just 33 eliminations away from the point that marks the end of the evening and reaching the money.
