  • The players are in level 16, the last level before tonight’s dinner break. The situation at the top of the leaderboard has been a little static today, but two players who had been among the chip leaders but fell off the pace somewhat have come back strongly – both Griffin Benger and Adam Kornuth are back over 400K at this point. As well, Vincent Jacques took a pretty big hit during the last level but managed to rebound almost immediately to re-join the players in the hunt for the lead. Victor Ramdin is also making a run in the past few minutes, putting him within shooting distance of the leaders)

    Players eliminated recently include: Jason Koon, Pascal Lefrancois, Shannon Shorr and Sam Greenwood.

    One of the interesting parts of running a poker tournament on a Sunday during the NFL season is TV situation – we have TVs all around the room and we’re doing our best to balance everyone’s requests and get as many games as possible on for the players!

    Sunday is also the day for online majors, and there are a few players around the room also playing on their laptops or iPads, giving a new definition to multi-tabling. As we mentioned earlier, the WiFi has been upgraded so we don’t anticipate any problems for online players. Players should be aware, though, that standard rules against being active on electronic devices with cards in front of you apply even on Sundays.

    Day 1b: End of Day Chip Counts

    Day 1b is complete and 128 players of the 308 who began the day have survived to Day 2, which will start on Monday, December 2 at 12pm.
