The tournament is now on a short chip-up break, as the T5,000 chips are no longer needed, and we took this opportunity to bring an update on the chip counts as play enters level 32.

Ruben has regained the chip lead, and is slowly separating himself from the pack. Here are the full counts:

First Name | Prénom	Last Name | Nom	Stack | Tapis
Ruben	Perceval	6,600,000
Daniel	Le	3,675,000
Sean David	Mc Nally	2,475,000
Sebastien	Fortier	2,050,000
Philippe	Drouin	1,800,000
Nicholas	Beaulne	1,125,000

Sean David Mc Nally has been very patient tonight, only getting himself involved in pots where he knows he has a good chance of winning. His stack took many hits from the blinds in the process, as he slowly dropped the leaderboard. He finally picked up a few decent hands, and ran his stack back up to the 10 big blind range.

Faced with an open to 250,000 from Daniel Le, Sean came over the top from late position with an all-in worth 1,220,000. Daniel took a moment before making the call, and found himself up against the nut-hand preflop.

Sean held on for the win on the board, propelling him close but slightly below the average stack.

Jean Paquet has either changed gears following the break, or was finally dealt a few playable hands, as he saw the black “all-in” card land a few times in front of him in the last couple of hands.

The first two shoves were uncalled, however on the third hand he pulled the trigger from the button following a middle position limp, and found an all-in for less from Sean David Mc Nally in the small blind.

Sean found just enough on the flop to double his short 470,000 stack up, leaving Jean with only 800,000 behind.

There has been a lot of chip movement in the most recent level, as Ruben saw his stack slide down the leaderboard before regaining a spot back up near the top. Said Michailidis gave up the tournament chip lead after chipping down in a series of hands, however he knows his way around the short stack and is still a viable threat on this final table.

Sean and Jean are playing a more cautious game, and have been quite passive since the start of the night, while Philippe and Nicolas are getting by quietly, raking in the occasional pot here and there to keep them up with the average.

Daniel Le is the current chip leader, and has been a very active player, involving himself in a more than average amount of hands, however Ruben is only inches behind. Here is a look at the full counts as play enters level 31:

First Name | Prénom	Last Name | Nom	Stack | Tapis
Daniel	Le	4,650,000
Ruben	Perceval	4,315,000
Sebastien	Fortier	2,545,000
Nicholas	Beaulne	2,090,000
Philippe	Drouin	1,740,000
Said	Michalaidis	1,010,000
Sean David	Mc Nally	670,000
Jean	Paquet	575,000
