Sylvain Siebert was attempting to make his third consecutive final table in an Main Event here at Playground Poker Club, but fell short when he lost a flip to Vincent Jacques for his tournament life.
After losing several pots since the last break, Sylvain was left with 124K when he open jammed from late position. Kevin MacDonald made the call, but folded once Vincent went all-in over the top from the big blind.
Sylvain: 
Vincent: 
The board ran 
, and Sylvain fell short of completing his final table trifecta, although he still did finish a very respectable 29th place.

Some more eliminations as the day has progressed.
Eliminations, 37th to 45th, $9,700
In the mean time, Marc-André Ladouceur has been move to the feature table, and is right next to fellow PokerStars pro Jonathan Duhamel.
Canadian pro Mike Watson has been eliminated in 35th place. He was on the button facing a preflop raise of 20K from François Goulet when he declared all-in for 185K. François didn’t seem very comfortable but eventually made the call.
Mike: 
François: 
The flop was perfect for François – 
and the turn 
gave François the flush and the win. The river was a meaningless 
.
We are back from break, and level 20 has just begun. Here are the chip counts going into this round:
Feature Table
Table 30
Table 31
Table 38
Table 39
The eliminations from the Main Event have continued pretty quickly with just a few slowdowns, so considering that the tournament is playing down to 27 players, it should be a relatively short (though never easy) day.
For the record, here are the eliminations in more of the early pay levels.
Eliminations, 46th to 54th, $8,340
Eliminations, 55th to 63rd, $6,980
These are approximate chip counts of some notable players, including players who have had past deep runs here in events at Playground Poker Club:
Players are back from their first break of the day and we took the opportunity to update the leaderboard at this stage in the tournament.
Updated counts for some of the other notable players are coming in a few minutes.
