Balmigere Not Done Yet

Joseph Cada came in with a raise to 250,000 and Francois Balmigere moved all in for the 720,000 he had left from his crippling one hand ago. The table folded around, and Cada quickly called to put Balmigere at risk of bubbling Day 8.

Showdown
Cada: {Q-Spades} {8-Spades}
Balmigere: {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades}

The board would run down {9-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {6-Clubs}, safe for the all-in player. With his pair of jacks, Francois Balmigere has picked up a crucial double up which is far better than being outta here in 28th place. He's back to 1.7 million now, alive but still in need of some help.
