Kevin Taylor

Despite having the chip lead to start three-handed play, Mathieu Jacqmin was never able to get anything going. He was stuck in a freefall that just ended with Justin Pechie getting the last of his chips. Pechie raised in the small blind, and Jacqmin called in the big blind. The flop came out {7-Diamonds} {k-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} , and Pechie bet out. Jacqmin came back with a raise. Pechie reraised, and Jacqmin opted to call. The {2-Spades} hit the turn, and Pechie bet again. Jacqmin just called this time, and the river came the {j-Spades} . Pechie bet out a third time, and Jacqmin put the last of his chips in. Pechie called, revealing {k-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} for two pair. Jacqmin shaked his head, showing {j-} {7-} for a rivered two pair.
