  • Daniel Charette’s good run is continuing here on Day 3 of Event 1. In Day 2, when the blinds were 20K/40K/a5K, it all seemed over for Daniel, when he was crippled down to one ante of 5K. But somehow he managed to rebuild and rebuild, and rebuild again! At the end of the day, he bagged and tagged 2.68M! And he just ran that stack up again, this time to well over 5.5M, after getting all his chips in the pot with King of Clubs King of Hearts on a 10 of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds 7 of Hearts board. He was up against the Queen of Clubs Queen of Hearts of Steve Pouliot, and ended up making a straight with the running 9 of Spades and Queen of Spades (while Steve made a set!).

    As they say, all you need is a chip and a chair! From 5K to 5.5M, and maybe even more!
