HAND #109  –  Alexis Tremblay is forced all in from the big blind for 350,000, and since the TDA rules updated to “Big Blind First” for short stacks, there will be no ante this hand. However, other players are still required to call the full 500,000 if they want to limp into the pot.

Marc Sen limps from the button for 500,000, and Leandro Dirlewanger completes his small blind.

There is now 1,050 in the main pot, and another 300 in the side pot.

Dirlewanger and Sen check to the river on a board of , and all three players turn over their cards — with Tremblay looking at his own cards for the first time.

Marc Sen:    (pair of threes)
Leandro Dirlewanger:    (ace high)
Alexis Tremblay:    (pair of sevens)

Tremblay wins the pot with a pair of sevens to triple up in chips, while Sen wins the side pot.
