In the Money! Spencer Jean-Baptiste Bubbles

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Spencer Jean-Baptiste
Spencer Jean-Baptiste

Spencer Jean-Baptiste moved all-in preflop for 39,000 and was put at risk by Patrick Braga and Sofiane Boulila.

The flop was {2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Braga open-jammed, forcing Boulilia out of the pot.

Braga: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Jean-Baptiste: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Jean-Baptiste needed to fade an ace or a club but Braga hit it right away with the {5-Clubs} on the turn, Jean-Baptiste was drawing dead and exited on the money bubble when the {q-Spades} hit the river.

Cameron Triples Up to Stay Alive

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Kelly Cameron had blinded down to just 12,000, one and a half big blinds. Cameron got his chips in the middle from the small blind after Patrick Braga opened to 22,000. Lucas Drolet called from the big blind and both players checked down a {q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board and Cameron tabled just a pair of threes with {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} to take the pot and almost quadruple his stack.

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Melanson: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Copestake: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Melanson was in great shape to score a double up and was pushed the pot after the dealer fanned out a {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{a-Spades} board.

Perceval's Elimination Brings on Hand-For-Hand

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

After doubling up Steven Martin, Ruben Perceval was left with just four big blinds. Perceval put himself at risk the next hand, shoving with {q-Spades}{3-Spades}, finding a call from Alexandre Blanc with {q-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

Perceval was dominated but found a three on the {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop. The turn, however, was the {a-Diamonds} and the river {k-Spades} sent Perceval to the rail one away from the bubble.

Now directly on the money bubble, the tournament will play hand-for-hand until the bubble pops.
