The players in Day 1a have begun their second-last level of this flight and as the numbers have dwindled and blinds climbed, a few players have really started to put their foot on the accelerator as they pursue the goal of reaching Day 2 with a healthy stack.
Tanvir Ahmed continues to add to his stack and is managing to keep – and gain – momentum while playing a huge proportion of hands. He’s now playing over 240K.
A different approach is that taken by Claude Begin, who has been playing few hands – but making them count when he does. Claude is now up over 220K. Rounding out the top 3 at this point in the tournament is Patrick Chartrand, who has been steadily building his stack to approximately 180K.
The other movement to note is the move Thomas Lefort has made – after playing with a starting (or below) stack for most of the day, he has suddenly seemed to awake – and is now playing over 100K.
