There are just 16 players remaining in the field of Event #5, and considering that the tournament will play down to 7 players, it’s definitely in its final phase.

Two players have managed to take a commanding lead to this point. Samuel Pouliot has stayed near the top of the list with 102,500 in his stack at the break, outclassed only by Jonathan Brown playing 113,500. The rest of the players have varying stacks – but few are large enough to give either player much pause before calling off, so everyone must play with caution.

Here are some photos taken during the last level.

The Survivor is down to 34 players as it wends its way to the top 10% – which is to say, 7 people remaining. This elimination by Samuel Pouliot is typical of the play in the past level or so as some stacks begin to really dwindle.

Raphael Breton St-Jean was 3rd to act preflop and raised all-in for 5,300 over an early limp. Action folded all tne way around to Pouliot, in the bb, who made the call. The player who limped from utg folded and the cards were turned on thier backs.

Samuel:

The flop hit both players hard: – but Samuel was certainly happy to have gained a few more ways to pull out the win. The turn brought the first of them with the , and that was enough as a blank came on the river.
