Just 11 players remain in Day 1a as it plays down to 5 players that will qualify for Day 2. With one more elimination they’ll be brought together on a single table where play will continue.
The big chip leader at this point is Rene Theberge, but Yan Gohier has a very healthy stack as well. On the other end of the spectrum, David Brillon has been nursing a very small stack – for hours. There’s no doubt that he possesses the skill to take a small stack and make it large just when he needs to!
