Fred Paradis (Seat 5) and Sam Harvey (Seat 6)

The start-of-day chip leader Fred Paradis took a massive hit to his stack leaving himself less than five big blinds.

According to the table, Paradis held 9d6d against Sam Harvey’s Ac8s. The flop was 8c6c5d and the duo got the last of Harvey’s roughly 180,000 chips in the middle. Harvey was at risk while Paradis wasn’t in much better shape with only 29,000 behind after the call.

Paradis held a pair of sixes, a gutshot straight draw and backdoor flush outs. Harvey, meanwhile, had top top.

Turn and river: 2dKc

Paradis never improved and was left stunned. Harvey stacked the pot and Paradis hit the rail a short time later — shy of the money after starting the day as the big stack.

Play moved hand-for-hand a short time later.
