    • The 241 remaining players of Day 1c are back from their last break of the night, and will play two more 45-minute levels before bagging up for Day 2.

    Here are the top 5 stacks going into these final levels of play:

    1. Paul Naracatto – 275K
    2. Frederic Bunchan – 253K
    3. Francis Labonte – 250K

    Piquette making a move

    Tournament:
  • Level: 11
  • Small Blind: 600
  • Big Blind: 1.2K
  • Ante: 200
  • Chip Average: 66K
  • Remaining: 251
  • Entries: 552


    • At the last break, Players Club member Jean-Philippe Piquette was among those players with stacks that could easily make a run at the chip lead – and in the last level and a half, JPP has done just that. He’s now up over 220K which puts him among the chip leaders in the flight.

    Leaders going to level 10

    2014/03/29 6:54pm by
    Tournament:
  • Level: 10
  • Small Blind: 500
  • Big Blind: 1K
  • Ante: 100
  • Chip Average: 55.6K
  • Remaining: 298
  • Entries: 552


    • The players have just returned from their third break of the day and during the break we found some of the largest stacks in the event so far.

    • Pierre Guenette – 190K
    • Sammy Chao – 185K
    • James Northcliff – 177K
    • Manuel Moffatt – 170K
    • Azim Lavji – 150K

    Although these players have taken a lead, none of them should feel comfortable yet with three and a half levels yet to go. There are a lot of players in the 110K – 140K range and any of these could easily take the lead by winning one decent pot.
