Ghislain Pigeon was very serious about costing his opponents a few buy-ins. At the first break, he is the clear leader, with almost 5 starting stacks in front of him. We prepared a top 5, which lists all players above the 50K mark, but many were in the 40s. Here is our first leaderboard:
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Ghislain | Pigeon | 72,500 |
| Marc | Lacroix | 58,500 |
| Danick | Landriault | 57,500 |
| Shane | Larose | 56,000 |
| Cole | Cross-Lusignan | 53,000 |
The rebuy period ended with 33 rebuys, 13 of which took place during the last level. Here is a sample of the heavy action that took place during the last moments before the break:
Michael St-Martin: 
Sébastien Lapierre: 
Devon Atwell: 
Kevin Javier: 
Board: 
This was a pre-flop all-in. Sebastien Lapierre took out 3 short stacks with his ace-king high, who all rebought.
