In the final hand of the level, Florian Guimond was up against Elio Fox. Until the river, there were some 32,500 in the middle and Guimond had checked. Fox pushed all-in with the covering stack and that sent his table neighbour into the tank.
Eventually, Guimond called it off and was shown the bad news. Fox revealed for a jack-high straight and the of Guimond were no good.

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) is happening now, and later this month the PokerStars Players NLH Hold’em Championship (PSPC) will take place January 30-February 3. One man who will be heading to the Bahamas is 41-year-old Jared “BeamDoctorPoker” Halter, who won a Platinum Pass on PokerStars Michigan.
“I won a PSPC Platinum Pass on Wednesday, November 9,” Halter told PokerNews. “I had just returned from Vegas that morning on a red eye flight and slept for four hours on a friend’s couch before I drove home for two hours. To be honest, I was very fortunate to win because I had a very rough 72 hours. Some things happened in Vegas that caused me to have anxiety attacks for the first time in my life and I ended up only sleeping about five hours total in the previous 48.”
He continued: “I was exhausted and when the MTT started, I said to myself, it will take a miracle for me to win. Funny enough, I mis-clicked two different times early in the tourney and called three-bets with hands like 85o (I did not win those hands). I streamed the tourney, and only single tabled it, because of how tired and ungrounded I felt from the previous time. During the stream, I talked about how exhausted I was and how there was almost zero chance I win. Of course, as we know, the universe had a different plan.”
Juan Pardo had boosted his stack in a clash with Sriharsha Doddapaneni not long ago and then applied further pressure to further rise on the leaderboard.
Pardo limp-called a raise by Doddapaneni in a battle of the blinds and bet the flop for 4,000 into 13,000. Doddapaneni raised to 15,000 and received the call before Pardo check-called a bet on the turn. The Spaniard jammed the river and Doddapaneni eventually folded.
Just now, Pardo bet the heads-up turn of for 32,000 from under the gun and Andy Wilson called in the cutoff. Once the river completed the board, Pardo near instantly jammed and Wilson quickly folded.
