The 39 players remaining in Event #4 have taken a break, and we were able to get chip counts for the top stacks in the tourney while they were absent from the table.
Marc Lavergne is the current leader, playing a stack almost 100bb deep, but there’s still a long way to go in the tournament – anything could happen!
| First name | Prénom | Last name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Marc | Lavergne | 157,700 |
| Denis | Blanchette | 130,600 |
| Eric | Cowan | 106,600 |
| Remi | Bourque | 96,000 |
| Ronald | Lei | 81,000 |
Here are a few more photos from the action in Event #4.
The players in Event #4 had their first break of the day a few minutes ago, and with the end of the break came the end of the late reg period and the rebuy period. From here on to the end, the event is a “pure” freezeout tournament.
There were a total of 84 entries in the event, including 43 rebuys, which adds up to a prize pool of $6,159. This will be distributed according to the following prize chart.
| Rank | Pos | Prize | Bourse |
|---|---|
| 1st | $1,979 |
| 2nd | $1,200 |
| 3rd | $750 |

Here are a few shots of the field in today’s Rebuy event. These photos were taken during level 2-3 of the tourney.
Since the last update, the rebuys have kicked in – with almost 2 full levels of rebuy available, there are already 8 registered.
Play in today’s $60 Rebuy tourney is already through to level 2, and there are 51 entries so far with no rebuys yet in the books – but that is certain to change before too long!
It’s a beautiful Friday morning, and at 12:00pm, the next event in the May Power Weekend will get underway in the Tournament Hall here at Playground Poker Club. Today’s tournament is a $50 + $10 NL Hold’em Rebuy tournament with a $4,000 guaranteed prize pool. Rebuy tournaments are fairly rare in 2018, at least in “normal” tournaments. They’re still very common for satellites – but the bump to the prize pool represented by the unlimited rebuys that are possible during the first 4 levels could be extremely interesting – not to mention the action that the format encourages!
Players will start with 15,000 in tournament chips and blind levels are 20 minutes long in this tournament. As mentioned above, unlimited rebuys are available at the player’s seat during the first 4 levels of play.
Good luck to everyone playing today!
