Girard's Stack Yo-Yoing
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Hugues Girard's stack is going up and down like a yo-yo!
First, Girard opened to 100,000 from middle position and Paco Kaplan shoved for 825,000 from the big blind. Girard called.
Paco Kaplan: A?K? 
Hugues Girard: 9?9?
Girard lost the flip as Kaplan made two pair on the K?Q?7?Q?A? runout.
Not long after, the action fodled to John Armbrust in the small blind who shoved, and Girard snap-called from the big blind for 355,000.
Hugues Girard: K?7?
John Armbrust: 10?10?
"Tens?!' said Girard. Though he didn't need to worry as he paired his king on the K?J?Q?2?5? board, which kept him alive.
