: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
When we walked up to the table, there was already a raise and a three-bet in the pot. As we approached, the initial raiser was four-betting to 70,000 total, and the action came back on Andrew Touchette. He took a bit of time considering his options before he five-bet shoved for 177,900 total. The two stacks were close, but the initial raiser was the one facing a decision for his tournament life. After several minutes in the tank, he made the call, and the cards were on their backs:
Touchette: 
Opponent: 
There was no funny stuff on the board that ran out 
, and the queens hold for Touchette. With that big elimination pot, he's moved himself all the way up to 345,000.
