It's going to happen someday. Mark--nay, Marc--our words. At some point, Marc-Andre Ladouceur goes to make the overall table of the arena Series of Poker. It kind of feels like destiny, and there have been no less than a couple of individuals who believed it might happen this year.

In 2011, Ladouceur placed 63rd out of 6,865 players. In 2013, he finished 13th out of 6,352. Later that year, he played the WSOP-E Main Event and finished 29th out of 375. He cashed within the WSOP Main Event last year, too.

It looks like it's sure to happen sometime soon, right?

Nevertheless, it won't be this year.

As play winds toward the penultimate day of play for the summer, Ladouceur has fallen in 139th place. He earned $49,108, that is fine but cold comfort for a person who has his eyes so firmly set at the prize.

Ladouceur was the last a few of the PokerStars red spade brigade within the WSOP Main Event. His 139th place was the most productive some of the PokerStars cashers who included Aditya Agarwal (621st--$18,714), Liv Boeree (528th--$22,648), Jason Somerville (320th--$32,130), and Jennifer Shahade (204th--$42,285).

While a disappointing end for them all, they don't seem to be alone of their early finishes. PCA champ John Dibella, 2004 WSOP champion Greg Raymer, and other luminaries like Brandon Adams, Melanie Weisner, Dan Heimiller, Scott Montgomery, Todd Brunson, and Johnny Chan have all busted this evening.

While that ends the hope of a PokerStars spade within the November Nine, it doesn't end the potential of an awesome couple of days. At this hour, Dan Colman, James Obst, Max Silver, Tom Marchese, Per Linde, Kenny Hallaert, Vladimir Geshkenbein, and the irrepressible William Kassouf all have big stacks.

Regardless, we provide our sincere congratudolences to Ladouceur, a person who will someday make the November Nine. Indeed...Marc our words.
