A long day of poker expected the 27 remaining players in the main event of the World Series of Poker. Among them, our eyes were turned towards the Québécois Marc-Étienne General Irish McLaughlin, who began the day in the middle of the peleton.
From the first moment, we could appreciate the performance of Marc-Étienne: the day began just that already, he had won some big important pots. Thanks to a loose-aggressive game and a reading of his impeccable opponents (including a call with a baby flush so that there are 4 cards of spades on the table), he has gradually climbed the positions to find himself among the leaders. After approximately 4 hours, he sat at the forefront.
As the stakes rose, the game has him somewhat slowed, each player taking a long time to think.
At the beginning of the unofficial final table (10 players, while the official final table has 9 players), Marc-Étienne was in the 2nd row. Unfortunately for him, the draw of seats was not to its advantage while he found himself directly to the right of the leader, JC Tran.
The unofficial table will be able to quickly ended, while the shortstack Mark Newhouse found himself all-in from the 5th hand against the french Sylvain Loosli. Unfortunately, it has been able to double his stack, thus adding a little suspense before to know the identity of the finalists who will be back in November.
45 minutes later, it's Carlos Mortensen who fell in battle, passing as a hair's breadth of the final table. It may nonetheless be consoled with the $ 573 204 accompanying its elimination.
The final table on November 4 will be thus composed of:
1st: JC Tran - 38 million (USA)
