Fred Paradis (Jewett City, CT) |
Our "feature" table is starting to tilt to one end as Greg Raymer and Fred Paradis control close to 1,500,000 chips between themselves after Paradis cracked Patrick Donnelly's pocket Aces to send him to the rail and to give himself the chip lead of the Card Player Poker Tour Main Event.
The action was picked up on a flop of [Ad][3h][2c] with both players checking and the turn is where it got interesting.
The [4s] fell and after a bet and a raise the chips were suddenly all-in with Paradis tabling [5h][5d] and Donnelly showing [As][Ah].
Donnelly had flopped a set and checked giving Paradis a free card to hit his straight draw, but we imagine that even if Donnelly bet the flop, Paradis is at least floating one street and the money is getting in on the turn anyway.
We'll never know though, but what we do know is that Patrick Donnelly is now waiting to collect his payout ticket and Fred Paradis is now sitting with close to 800,000 chips and it's starting to look like the Foxwoods Poker Champion is setting himself up for one of his best Main Event finishes of his career.
There are just over 20 minutes remaining in Level 21 and this big stacked "feature" table can be watched live on foxwoodslive.com.
