Welcome back to the third and final day of the Strike Out Cancer Event, which saw an impressive 1,186 entries combined over 4 starting flights. 290 players returned to the felts yesterday for Day 2, but by the end of the night, only 23 remained.
Leading the way into Day 3 is Marc Doyer-St-Jean, who bagged a total of 2,140,000, however he is closely followed by a handful of other players. The stacks are fairly close, and it’s still anyones game at this point.
There are a number of players to watch out for, including Ruben Perceval (1,580,000), who has proven to be a menace on the tables time and time again; Sammy Chao (1,050,000), who bubbled the final table of this very event in the last series here in April; Isham Yamani (550,000), who has final tabled this event twice in the past, as well as cashed in many other events here at Playground Poker Club; and Brian Bond (445,000), a past champion of this same event, who has also final tabled another opening event here earlier this year.
Play will continue until we have our champion of Event 1 of the Montréal Poker Expo, and players are battling it out for a sweet $29,120 cash prize, as well as a beautiful Champions Trophy!
Good luck!
