Mathieu Gaudette (Canada) was just disgusted when he ran pocket jacks into pocket aces, but his demeanor quickly changed after flopping a set.

The "Rob Brown Pro Walkaway" was originated in the Northeast, referencing a certain poker professional who would get his things collected and prepare to walkaway, when he was all-in.  It seemingly was the good luck charm he needed, as it worked numerous times, coming from behind to steal away pots from what looked like sure loss.  

Almost as good as the "RBP Walkaway," is the "eye-roll and sigh," which we just saw in action at Table 8.  We approached the table just as Mathieu Gaudette called the all-in of Michael Goldfarb.  While Gaudette had Goldfarb covered, he reacted in disgust, to see his J♣ J♠ up against Michael's A♣ A♠.  As quick as the reaction was from Gaudette, the flop came jack-high, giving Mathieu a stranglehold on the hand.  

Goldfarb was left to video the runout on his phone, lamenting his luck with the pocket aces.  

Mathieu Gaudette - 410,000 (42bb)
