The tournament director just increased the length of the 5 remaining Day 2 levels at 40 minutes. This will make the structure a little smoother, and improve its quality for the late stages of the tournament.
Éric Leblond (title picture) just took a little over 100K from Jared McDonald, our former chip leader, and is making a run for it. He now has about 600K. Joël Giguère, the roller coaster story of the day, is out. He started 2nd in chips, went down to 100K, then back up to 500K, and exited in 31st place, good for $380.
Here is a hand that they played together when 51 players were left, 2 from the bubble.
Éric Leblond: 
Joël Giguère: 
Board: 
They were all-in pre-flop, and this cooler allowed Leblond to kick start his rise. Giguère was left with 100K, although he did manage to get healthy again later on; temporarily.
