Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Day 1a of the WPT National Montreal is going strong with 53 players remaining of the 64 entries. William Blais is off to a solid start with almost 60,000 from his original 15,000 starting stack. On this hand, he knocks out Badri Abboud.

The hand started when Laurence Louie opened to 650 and Abboud called in position. Blais was sitting on the button and he raised to 2,350. Both Louie and Abboud called.

When all three players checked the {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, it looked like there might not be much action. However, the turn was the {a-Hearts} and Blais was last to act. He made it 4,000 and Louie folded. Abboud called and the two players were heads up to the river.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and Abboud checked to Blais for a third time. Blais went all in, putting Abboud at risk. Abboud didn't take too long to calll and Blais turned over {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two pair. Abboud mucked his hand and handed his chips over to the dealer.
