Man Down

[user66118]

Philipe D'auteuil has become one of the early beneficiaries of the not-afraid-to-go-broke-in-the-first-level Latin American style of play.

We caught up to the table just as the chips were being pushed to D'auteuil, so the betting action is mysterious. What we can tell you is that the young Canadian flopped the nuts with {A-Clubs}

on a board that came {2-Clubs}

. His opponent went all the way with {K-Clubs}

, and that was that.

D'auteuil is one of the early chip leaders, sitting pretty right on 40,000 now. We say "one of" because at least one other player has been eliminated here in the first few minutes.
