Jean-Pascal Gauthier raised it up in late position and was called by Lisa Powell. The flop came and Gauthier continued out, only to have Powell shake her head to signal “nope”as she mucked her hand.

On the very next hand, he raised it up again. This time there were no callers, and Gauthier showed that he had the goods, a nice looking pair of aces.

On table 81 Alexandre Mongrain raised it up to 2,000 in the low jack position and it folded to Hicham Hamoud, seated in big blind, who three bet to 6,500. Mongrain thought it about for a little bit before deciding to let go of his hand.

A break is coming up which will allow us to put together the first leaderboard of the night.
