Day 3 of the Main Event of the Montréal Poker Expo is about to get under way with 28 players remaining in contention for the big prizes in the tournament!
The beginning of the action today will be a little bit stop/start, because although there was a redraw to begin Day 3, there is another redraw scheduled for 27 players remaining, so after a single elimination today, all seats will be redrawn.
Leading the pack today is Kevin MacDonald, who is well known at Playground Poker Club having made deep runs in several big events here over the years, including a 5th place in a $5K High Roller event. Joining Kevin with over a million in tournament chips are 3 other players: Robert Johnson, Mikael Gurnard, and Eric Aucoin.
Further down the player list are quite a few players who have already made their mark on the poker world and are capable of making a deep run in the event, including Poorya Nazari (PCA Main Event winner in 2009) and Chanracy Khun, a Players Club member at Playground who has a WPT title under his belt along with several deep finishes in other events worldwide.
There are also two past champions of past $1.1K Events here at Playground still in the field: Buck Ramsay and Faisal Khan. Obviously they have some experience in this format.
In fact, though, the entire remaining field has proven themselves worthy to have achieved what they have, and a truly deep run in the event will take skill, experience, and, yes, a little “run-good”!
Good luck today to all of the remaining players!
