Martel-Boiteux Gets the Pure Triple with the Worst of It
The action folded to Philippe Belanger in middle position who put in a raise to 4,000. It folded to Alex Martel-Boiteux in late position who moved all in for about 13,000. The next player to act was Jean-Francois Proulx who only took a moment before putting out enough chips for a raise to cover both players. Philippe Belanger snap called and the cards hit their backs with two players all in and at risk.
Philippe Belanger: Q♦Q♠ 
Alex Martel-Boiteux: A♥4♥
Jean-Francois Proulx: A♦K♣
Martel-Boiteux needed some help and he got it in the form of a flush draw on 8♥8♣9♥. That draw came right in on the 2♥ turn. The 7♣ river was a blank and Martel-Boiteux got a pure triple. Belanger won a small side pot and Proulx still sits with the most chips even after the loss.
