    In the money: no bubble deal

    Sixteen places are to be paid today with 15th having a min-cash for $350. Players talked about doing a bubble deal, and it was suggested that $250 be removed from 1st place and $60 from 2nd place in order to pay the bubble $310.  Playground allows the players to make a deal but does not get involved in the negotiations what so ever. There is however an important rule in place: should any player not want to participate in a deal, then the game plays on, with no more discussion.  As it turned out, one player did not accept the terms of a deal, and the cards were back in the air.

    Since the bubble has burst, here is a list of players who made it into the money that have no busted out:

    • Eddie Daldalian 14th place $350
    • Garrett West 15th place $350

    The player who busted on the bubble was Joel Godin.

    Cameron Wilson came from out of town to play the Power Weekend and has been strong in all of the events that he has played.  He is currently our chip leader (235,000)and hoping to hold on to the lead until the end of the day.  There is only one other stack north of 200,000; Steve Daunais has been one of our top stacks for most of the day and is currently in 2nd place (209,000).

    Still in contention are: Mark Fitzpatrick, Dave Jeanneau-Cyr, Gianfranco Giordono, Paterice Ravary, Tanvir Ahmed, and Andy D’Alessandro.

    Bustouts over the last level include: Luc Richard, Ghislain Pigeon, Jonathan Theriault, Kevork Kassabian and Alexandre Ruest.

    Hernandez: KK for the win!

    We just caught up with the action in time to see three player’s all in pre-flop. Although we didn’t get a chance to see the action leading up to this, we watched Andre Hernandez smile as he had picked up King of Diamonds King of Clubs and proceeded to knock out Sebastien Dion and Bob St Cyr.  Hernandez told us how he just arrived at the table and picked up a pair of Kings two times in just a few hands.  At times a table change can destroy your game, and other times, it can be the best thing possible to happen to you!

    The bustouts continue as we have just lost notables Anderson F., Diana Shamshoun, Alam Miah and Fabrizio Pugliese.


    Plouffe leads the pack at the 2nd break

    • Level: 11
    • Small Blind: 1K
    • Big Blind: 2K
    • BB Ante: 2K
    • Chip Average: 65.1K

    The race is tight as we now have five players over 100k, and one who is just below.  There are many others though nursing decent stacks, so there is sure to be a lot of poker action as the day plays on.

    In the driver’s seat right now is Vincent Plouffe, with a commanding 124,000.He is followed closely by Mark Fitzpterick (113,000) who has a record of deep runs here at Playground, as well as Steve Daunais (also 113,000).

    Recent bustouts include: Maurice Simard, Vera G., Pat St-onge, Nabil Nahoul, Andre Bilodeau and Nicolas Miron.

    Pocket J’s: not good enough!

    • Level: 10
    • Small Blind: 800
    • Big Blind: 1.6k
    • BB Ante: 1.6K
    • Chip Average: 56.5K
    • Remaining: 60

    Table 31 has a lot of chips on the table. In middle position, Fabrizio Pugliese limped in.  Dimitri Tchakorov, who plays here often along with his wife and his daughter, shoved his stack. It folded to Christopher Gaudreault in the sb who also moved his stack forward and announced “all in”.  Fabrizio made the call.

    Dimitri: Ace of Diamonds 7 of Spades
    Christopher: Jack of Diamonds Jack of Clubs
    Fabrizio: Queen of Diamonds Jack of Hearts

    The board ran out Queen of Clubs 3 of Spades King of Diamonds 4 of Hearts 7 of Diamonds, and, Fabrizio had hit top pair on the flop and knocked out both Christopher and Dimitri.  Due to stack sizes, the math had made sense for Fabrizio to make the call pre-flop, and, although he technically had the worst hand, he had the most luck.

    Chip counts at the 1st break

    Registration is now closed, we have a total of 113 entries, which has helped to inflate the total prize pool well beyond the guarantee for a total of $21,922. Fifteen players will be getting paid, a min-cash is $350, and, a whopping $5,252 is up top for the 1st place finisher!.

    Walking around the floor, we saw five stacks that were more than the double the average, and, two players who have now surpassed the 100K mark. Our current chip leader is Joel Bedard (111,500), followed closely by Jonathan Theriault (104,500).

    All the others in the room are working to make their way to the top, so we will update the chipcounts and the next break.
