Richard Chouinard

Abdel Bouanani opened to 45,000 in middle position, and Henry Meacham called in the cutoff. From the blinds, Richard Chouinard three-bet shoved for 168,000 total, and Bouanani re-shoved for 452,000. Meacham shrugged and called both shoves, putting two players at risk in the process.

Bouanani: 4s4d
Meacham: JcJh
Chouinard: AcQc

The TsTh3c flop changed nothing, but the 4h on the turn gave Bouanani a huge come-from-behind lead with one card to come. The river was the blank 9c, and Bouanani won the big pot with fours full of tens. Chouinard was eliminated in ninth place, while Meacham was parted with most of his own stack, too.

Abdel Bouanani – 1,105,000 (55 bb)
Henry Meacham – 145,000 (7 bb)
Richard Chouinard – Eliminated in 9th place ($1,977)
