Shootout players have taken their first break of the night, and no table have sent a winner to round 2 yet. However, some players already have 1 foot in the final.
Jérémie Trépanier, playing against 4 live players, has almost half the chips in play. On other tables, Miguel Cholette and Maxime-Olivier Sevegny enjoy an even better situation. They both have well over half the chips in play, and face only 3 opponents each.
The shortest table is where Charles-Éric Benoit and Shane Spear are sitting. These two are already heads-up, and about evenly stacked. A fierce battle lies ahead!
