Here are some photos of the current chip leaders:

During the 3rd break of the night we found 3 players with over 200K in chips, and 2 of the three have been among the leaders for a while now. Garry Thompson and André St-Jean each seem to be controlling their tables and haven’t stopped accumulating enough chips to keep them in the lead.

The leaders:

1. Sean Windover – 270K
2. Garry Thompson – 230K
3. André St-Jean – 220K

Event 2 in the Playground Poker Fall Classic attracted a total of 148 players which adds up to a prize pool of $28,712.00. This will be distributed according to the following payout table.

The players are approaching the third break of the tournament and the play has tightened up somewhat with few eliminations but nevertheless some large stacks starting to be grown. Among the leaders is André St-Jean with almost 160K, followed by Garry Thompson with 150K.

During the 2nd break we got chip counts for the largest stacks in the tournament, and there are three players who have distanced themselves somewhat from the field.

1. Martin Messier – 99kK
2. Garry Thompson – 96K
3. Stephane Godinho – 90K

Here are photos of the chip leaders.

The players in Event 2 started with 20K in chips, and the blinds are going up every 20 minutes and play is 10-handed. Late registration is now over, and a total of 148 players joined the action tonight.

The players are back from their first break of the evening and there are still 123 players in the action – and it’s shaping up to be a long night with lots of action to come.

Lots of familiar faces in Event 2 – here are some photos from early in the tournament.
