The board ran out and Pilossoph was knocked out and we're now on the official money bubble.
Chris Klodnicki raised to 6,600 from the cutoff and Dario Minieri three-bet all in for 42,900. Action folded over to Marc-Andre Ladouceur in the big blind who thought for a moment before announcing a call. Klodnicki quickly got out of the way and the hands were turned up.
