Fifty-one Day 4 qualifiers

2018/05/01 - 0:19 by Jôle Simard

Today was Day 3 of the MILLIONS Main Event. 285 players started the day, stemming from two Day 2s that played over the weekend. Some of these players have been hustling at the tables for many days, especially if they played many Day 1s to earn a Day 2 seat.

At this point, stamina comes into play, and you can tell who has experience in these marathons by observing the vegetables and the green tea on their tables. These players do all that is required to stay alert during an eleven-hour day of poker.

Darryll Fish has been growing all day and leads the field into Day 4 with a whopping 98,450,000. Fish just added a WPT Championship to his titles in January, and is on a mission this week at Playground Poker Club.

Gnawing at him is Guillaume Nolet, a very strong local that has made it deep in Playground Events in the past. His 87,000,000 chips look pretty good on the list. Taylor Black and Lucas Drolet follow. Antonio Esfandiari and Marc-André Ladouceur have also survived the day.

Tomorrow’s seating draw will be published shortly, along with all players’ counts.

Level: 26

When a poker player refers to a table as being ”good”, they do not refer to anything similar to the current table 59. The table features a crew of very strong players, most of which have an unbelievable resume. Here is a look:

First Name \| Prénom	Last Name \| Nom	Seat \| Siège
Joshua	Platz	Table 59 - Seat 1
Darryll	Fish	Table 59 - Seat 2
Ema	Zajmovic	Table 59 - Seat 3
Manig	Loeser	Table 59 - Seat 4
Marc-André	Ladouceur	Table 59 - Seat 6
Patrick	Tardif	Table 59 - Seat 7
Antonio	Esfandiari	Table 59 - Seat 8

Luckily for these guys, there will be a redraw for Day 4!

Roberts’ kings stand tall

Level: 26

Gregory Roberts opened this hand to 2.2M. Karim Chatur made it 6.8M, which sent Roberts to the tank. After some deliberation, he went all-in, and Chatur called, creating a pot of about 40M chips.

Roberts now enjoys a very healthy stack. Meanwhile, Jean-Pascal Savard, last year’s MILLIONS Champion, and Kristen Bicknell hit the rail. Players have another 15 minutes of play before the last hands are announced.

The MILLIONS North America is now in it’s last level of play. 60 players remain in the hunt for the $1,400,000 top prize, including a slew of heavy hitters such as Antonio Esfandiari, Joseph Cheong, Kristen Bicknell, Manig Loeser and the defending champion Jean-Pascal Savard, to name a few.

Play will pause upon the completion of this last level, and players will return tomorrow at 12pm for Day 4. Once the bags are packed, we will publish the full list of chip counts heading into tomorrow, along with the seating assignments.

David Nguyen, fresh from a triple up with aces, has settled in the driver’s seat with over 80M. He is well ahead, but a handful of people can catch up to him in just one hand.

Guillaume Nolet is one of them, only 15M behind. Only 2 levels are left to this day, after which a few tables will bag their fortunes onto Day 4. Here is the current top 5:

First name \| Prénom	Last name \| Nom	Stack \| Tapis
David Tan Aka	Nguyen	81,400,000
Guillaume	Nolet	65,850,000
John	Richards	55,975,000
