Leaderboard into level 9

One player has taken a huge lead while quite a few others have established very strong stacks to take to the second half of this first starting flight in Event 1 - Strike Out Cancer - in the Montréal Poker Expo. Here are the top 5 players by chip count.

Name	Chip Count
Gianfranco Giordano	154,000
Pierre Marc Chadi	102,000
Mikael Abittan	84,000
Hope Stacey	80,000
Felix Sides	77,000

Being among the leaders in a Day 1 of a multi-day tournament seems to be a comfortable spot for Gianfranco – he was the overall leader of Day 1a in a similar event we hosted during the recent Playrgound Winter Festival as well.
