Gabriel Vezina busts out of the Main Event.

Wow. We headed over to Joe Ward's table to get a fresh round of chip counts and saw what some of the players described as an "internet" hand go down. Gabriel Vezina opened the pot for 200,000 from middle position. Joe Ward called in the cutoff before Martin Lapostolle shoved all in from he big blind for 2.1 million. Vezina called all in for 1.2 million and then Ward, having both players covered, called as well!

"All in and two calls on Table 2!" What hands could have prompted so much action?

Vezina: {J-Hearts}

Ward:

Lapostolle: {Q-Diamonds}

Lapostolle groaned when he saw Ward's kings. Vezina's reaction was a bit more sarcastic.

"Way to go, dealer!" he said.

Ward was pumped to see his opponent's hands, and even more pumped when the flop came {9-Spades}

. There was no sweat for Ward when the turn blanked {6-Spades}

, leaving both Vezina and Lapostolle drawing dead.

Since Vezina had fewer chips than Lapostolle, he is the 38th place finisher. Lapostolle finished 37th. Both earned $178,857 while Ward earned a total stack of 9.8 million chips.
