The clock has run out here in the 13th level of Day 1a, which means the players still in are now on break until Day 2, set on Monday September 1st, at 12:00pm. We’ve seen a lot of action happen today, as the field drop from the 218 players that started down to just 57, with an average stack of 114.7K. Many notables have hit the rail, such as Amir Babakhani, Chanracy Khun, Jonathan Duhamel, George Caragiorgas, Kevin Macdonald, Serge Cantin, Rayan Chamas, Samuel Chartier and Sylvain Siebert. Players still in include the likes of Jean-Philippe Piquette (92,600), Carla Sabini (144,800), and Josue Sauvageau (141,900), amongst others.
Player reported chip counts will be made available shortly. Just as a reminder, there are still two more flights for this Main Event of the Playground Poker Montreal Festival, with Day 1b on Saturday at 11:00am, and Day 1c on Sunday at 11:00am.
