Michael Lavoie was just eliminated shortly after the dinner break. Lavoie moved all in on the button for 5,000, and the player in the big blind asked for the count. Upon hearing the total, and looking down at his chip stack, the player said, "Alright, I call," while shrugging his shoulders.
Lavoie: J♦9♦
Big Blind: 9♥7♥
"That's not what I wanted to see," the big blind says, seemingly referring to the shared nine, but the flop comes K♥7♣2♦ giving the player a pair to take the lead.
Unfortunately for Lavoie, the 8♥ turn and 6♠ river do not improve his hand, and he is eliminated from play, with the option to re-enter.
