As expected, the last few levels of Day 1C played out with all kinds of exciting poker action. Short stacks shoved, big stacks called. Some players doubled up. Others busted out. That’s tournament poker.
The big stacks played right up until the very end, but avoided clashing with each other. When it was all said and done, Pierre Pellerin, the chip leader from the last break, was able to maintain the lead and bagged 315,500 chips. Following closely behind Pierre is John Araujo, who bagged 306,500 chips. The 3rd largest stack belongs to Cameron Wilson (217,500 chips), who also was playing one of the larger stacks all afternoon. In 4th place is Playground tournament reg Luc Lariviere (202,000 chips).
The last chance to qualify is happening right now in Day 1D, and late registration is open until 10:15pm, so why not come on down and take a shot at this $100,000 guaranteed prize pool!
