Players are now on break in Event 7, the $500 + $50 Freeze, and the tournament staff is in the process of reducing the tables from 10-handed to 9-handed. One more elimination to go before all 4 tables left are playing 9-handed. Faisal Khan still has the lead, even though he just took a hit, doubling Eli Israel and making him second in chip. Yes, that’s how big a stranglehold he had on his table, playing on about 600K before the loss he suffered brought him down to 436K. For a look at that stack, see the picture on the right.
Here are the top 6 stacks going into level 17, all resting on only 2 of the 4 remaining tables:
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Faisal | Khan | 436,000 |
| Eli | Israel | 390,500 |
| Pascal | Monarque | 390,000 |
| Andrej | Markovinovic | 286,000 |
| Arun Kumar | Singh | 245,000 |
| François | Gobeil | 204,000 |
