Erik Seidel opened for 6,000 and was called by Marc-Andre Ladouceur. Jean-Noel Thorel, on the button, three bet to 18,000. Seidel called and back on Ladouceur, he moved all in. Thorel was out of his seat, “How much?” he asked. It was 87,000 total. Thorel seemed to be considering it. Maybe it was the fact that Seidel was still to act that made him make the fold, but Seidel too folded and Ladouceur survived, cards unseen.
Timothy Adams just moved back over 200,000 in chips to get to 220,000 after picking up a couple of pots. In both, he used aggressive play to take down the pots preflop.

The very next hand, Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 6,000 from under the gun. Jean-Noel Thorel called from the next seat, then play folded to Adams on the button. He reraised and made it 22,000 to go. The blinds, Lichtenberger, and Thorel all folded, giving Adams the pot.
