Alexandre Arsenault Eliminated by Martin Finger

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Alexander Arsenault came into the day with just over 200,000 and had clearly doubled already when he raised to 40,000 from the cutoff. It folded to Martin Finger who asked how many chips Arsenault was playing. Around 400,000 was the answer. Finger slid a stack of purple T$100,000 chips forward and action was back on Arsenault who, if he called, would be all in.

"OK, then," he said after a couple of minutes of thinking before calling. Finger showed {k-Spades}{10-Spades} and Arsenault {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} with no help for Finger. The {q-Diamonds} on the turn gave him additional outs to a straight, and he made that straight on the river {j-Hearts} to eliminate his opponent and boost his stack over two million.
