Conforti Out. Blais, a Chance to Capitalize

Jason Conforti leads the tournament leaderboard, but has just been eliminated. William Blais is fifth on leader board, about 100 points behind. He is still in the tournament with 24 remaining and looking to gain some ground on Conforti now that he has been eliminated.

Conforti lost almost all of his stack in a three-way all in. He turned two pair against two players, one of which had flopped a set of sevens. Marcelle Lepage almost tripled her stack when she flopped that set, eliminating one opponent and leaving Conforti with scraps.

A few hands later, Conforti had barely more than the big blind with 2,100. He got all in with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and four players called. The board ran out {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts} and the players checked down to the river. Finally, Xavier Chayer-St-[Removed:361] bet and everyone folded. He showed {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a full house and eliminated Conforti.

Blais won a hand at around the same time Conforti lost most of his stacks. Blais was in the small blind and limped. Etienne Guay checked his option. The board came {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} Blais checked. Guay bet 2,000 and Blais called.

The turn was the {10-Spades} and Blais check-called again. This time the bet was 4,000. The river was the {5-Clubs} and both players checked. Blais showed {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and won the hand.
