Day 2 of the Main Event in the Montréal Poker Expo has just concluded, and 28 players remain from a starting field of 647. Leading the way is Kevin MacDonald, who bagged a total of 1,377,000 chips. Directly on his tail are Robert Johnson (1,364,000) and Mikael Guenard (1,331,000), while Eric Aucoin (1,102,000) is not too far behind. The rest of the field is below the 1-million mark, however at this stage in the game anything can happen, and big stacks can crumble as easily as short stacks can excel.
In a few moments we will be publishing the full list of player-reported chip counts, as well as the seating charts for tomorrow’s Day 3, which begins at 12pm. There will be a full seating redraw at 27 players, 18 players and for the final table of 10 players.
See you tomorrow!
