The tournament is down to 89 players left – the clock was paused to move to hand for hand action with just 1 minute left before the break. When the clock was paused, one of the tables that had yet to finish took a while to wrap up, so the tournament director chose to send everyone on break and begin hand-for-hand action when the players return.
During the break, tournament staff removed the purple T500 chips from play an introduced the blue T25,000 chip into play. We also managed to get an accurate list of the current chip leaders:
- Benoit Larochelle Legrand – 632,000
- Martin Demondehare – 618,000
- Dominic Boucher – 560,000
- Pierre Lauze – 504,000
Play is resuming now…
