Marco Caza has been eliminated in 10th place after a long spell of very careful play on the final table of 10 players.
Jason Comtois opened the action with a raise preflop to 280K. Daniel Gagne re-raised to 530K and then Marco 4-bet shoved his under-average (but not short) stack. Jason folded and Daniel called.

If it’s Monday it must be a 6-Max! And since the Spring Classic spans two Mondays in a row, that means we have two 6-Max tourneys in the schedule. Well… also the fact that the shorthanded format is extremely popular at Playground.
Tonight’s event is a $150 + $15 event and should attract a full house. Photos and more to come later this evening.
Rodney Lawrence has been eliminated in 11th place, meaning that the final table of 10 players has come together. Play will continue tonight until there are 6 players remaining – the official Final Table in WPT events.
Pierre Guenette is the player who eliminated Rodney although many had tried earlier today as Rodney spent most of the day playing with a very short stack. We missed the preflop action but on the flop of 
Rodney bet just over 200K and Pierre flat called. The turn came the 
and Rodney again led out – for 375K this time. Pierre immediately announced he was all-in and Rodney called very quickly.

The 
changed nothing and Pierre’s middle set was good. He covered Rodney, who was eliminated from the event.

There haven’t been any eliminations since the last break (through half of level 29) but that’s not to say that there hasn’t been any action! The chips are flying around the final two tables. Matthew Brunskole lost two relatively small pots in a row, leaving him short – but then tripled up after getting it in with pocket tens a few hands later. Ami Alibay had also been getting relatively short until he doubled through Alexander Wong just a few minutes ago to go to about 2.6M in chips.
Play continues…
Simon Quintal has been flying under the radar for most of the later stages of the tournament, never the chip leader but never short-stacked either.
That changed after Rodney Lawrence raised all-in from middle position and Simon called from the button.

Simon: 
The flop came 
to put Rodney well in the lead. The board ran out 
and kept him there – he doubled to over 1.2M in chips on the hand.
With just around 200K left in chips, Simon found a way to fold for a few hands before getting it in UTG holding 
. It folded back to the Big Blind (Brent Wheeler) who called.

Mario Lim has eliminated another player from the final three tables of the WPT Canadian Spring Championship.
Marc Guerbilsky opened the action preflop to 105K from middle position. Mario raised to 450K, and Marc thought for a few moments before going all-in. Mario confirmed with the dealer that Marc had shoved and then snap-called.
