Simon Tremblay

It folds to Simon Tremblay in the hijack and he shipped in for 2,250,000. Erik Cajelais followed suit and reshipped for 2,600,000 from the button. Blair Hinkle decided to come along and put his stack in the middle as well to get a fold from Sonny Franco in the big.

Tremblay: AdKs
Cajelais: JcJd
Hinkle: ThTc

Cajelais was ahead to knock Tremblay out and double through Hinkle but the 9h4d3dKhQh board paired Tremblay’s king for a triple up. Cajelais picked up a small rebate from Hinkle with his jacks but was down to only six bigs.

Simon Tremblay – 7,000,000 (56 bb)
Blair Hinkle – 1,725,000 (13 bb)
Erik Cajelais – 750,000 (6 bb)
