• 205k – Alan James Percal
• 200k – Gary Lucci
• 150k – Brian Morgan
• 136K – Kyle Hartree

Players are heading on to their second break of the night, and play will resume at level 10 when they return.

The 6-Max tournament – Event 5 – has reached the first break and tournament staff has worked hard to add tables to accommodate the number of players who arrived tonight. Some more may join at the end of late registration, but so far there are 235 players registered, well over the 180 player capacity.

Monday night at Playground Poker Club has traditionally been the night for shorthanded tournaments, and during the Fall Classic is no exception. Tonight is Event 5, a $300 + $30 No Limit Hold’em 6-Max tournament that is sure to draw a full house.

This event will be the largest buy-in event in the festival so far, and the field is also likely to be made up of some of the most experienced players in the Montreal area. Pre-tournament buzz suggests that the field will include at least two former WSOP bracelet winners, several online poker heroes, and quite a few travelling pros who have joined us for the Fall Classic.

Best of luck to everyone tonight!
