Since the tournament went to 2 tables there have been 5 eliminations:

14th place: Alex Chiasson, $1,700
15th place: Thomas Harnois, $1,700
16th place: Daniel Mackey, $1,300
17th place: Robert Di Trapani, $1,300
18th place: Jean-Sebastian Labonté, $1,300

Players will take their first break tonight at the end of this level.

Daniel Mackay has been eliminated in 16th place after a huge hand between he and Albert Bassal.

Isham Yamani opened the action to 200K from UTG and Daniel 3-bet to 400K from middle position. Action folded around to Albert (SB) and he 4-bet shoved his (covering) stack. Isham folded, and Daniel snap-called by throwing a chip at the 400K he had already put in front of him.

Albert:
Daniel:

The flop was relatively safe: but the turn gave Daniel an open-ended straight draw – but the on the river wasn’t what he was looking for and he shipped his whole 2.9M chip stack to Albert, who is now the chip leader in the tournament.

The pace of Event 1 has continued to be relatively quick as players continue to be eliminated and make their way to the tournament desk to pick up their payout coupons.

This table lists all of the players who have been eliminated since the beginning of the action today.
