Jean Philippe Leblanc Last Hand in, Last Place, First Position

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Jean Philippe Leblanc
Jean Philippe Leblanc

Jean Philippe Leblanc just took over the chip lead just before the end of the day. He was facing four all ins, one of which had him covered.

"F@ck it! I want to gamble."

He called.

He had {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

The hand started normally enough when Roger Lamia limped under the gun. Susan Kinstler went all in for 7,000 and Maxime Laberge and Leblanc called. Then it was Eduardo Sajgalik's turn to act and he shoved all in for 54,000.

"I looked at ace king," he said. "I probably fold ace queen there."

Lamia shoved for the biggest stack, around 170,000 and Laberge shoved for less. Now it was time for Leblanc to act. He called and said he felt like gambling.

The hands:
Jean Philippe Leblanc - {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Maxime Laberge - {k-}{k-}
Eduardo Sajgalik - {a-}{k-}
Roger Lamia - {a-}{q-}
Susan Kinstler - {k-}{x-}

The board:

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, giving Leblanc a heart flush and eliminating Sajgalik and Kinstler. Leblanc took almost half of Lamia's stack as well and left Laberge with about 26,000.

The aftermath:

"You're crazy," a few players at the table said to Leblanc.

"I just wanted to gamble," he said.

While Leblanc was still stacking his chips, Laberge would be eliminated on the next hand by Armry Senat. He got {q-}{8-} in against the {a-}{10-}. Neither player improved and Senat won the hand.
