Gabriel Alarie Eliminated in 27th Place ($15,950)

Michael Blanovsky got it all-in against Gabriel Alarie shortly after the players redrew for seats at the final three tables.

Showdown:

Blanovsky: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Alarie: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Alarie was in great shape with his queens but would need to fade aces or diamonds in order to earn the double-up. The flop came {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Alarie was safe so far. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn increased his risk and now any diamond or ace would eliminate him from the tournament.

River: {A-Spades}

The guillotine fell swiftly for the Alarie and he hit the rail with disappointment written clearly across his face.
