Players were three-ways and on the flop with a pot of around 25,000. They were looking at a 3♠7♥5♥ board and John Parker had bet 10,000 from the big blind. Marco Meisser called from the cutoff and John Parker folded from the small blind.
A 7♣ turn saw Beaupre move all in for his last 40,100. Meisser had just 39,000 behind and made the call for his tournament life.
Marco Meisser: 5♦5♣
Shawn Beaupre: A♦A♠
Meisser had flopped a set of fives, and turned the boat, which was holding against Beaupre's pocket aces.
With only another ace as an out, the 6♦ river did nothing to save Beaupre's stack from being pushed across the table, and he was down to just a handful of big blind.
In the next hand Georgios Sotiropoulos opened from late position and covered Beaupre's last 1,200. Beaupre made the quick call and the pair went to showdown.
Shawn Beaupre: K♦6♦
Georgios Sotiropoulos: K♣6♣
With no player holding hearts, the 6♥A♣2♥ flop did nothing to differentiate the hands. Beaupre was only able to gain 200 from the hand after the 3♣ turn and Q♠ river was placed.
