Table 50 is a beast!

Table 50 is right on the aisle between the cashier area and the Tournament desk, so when the tournament started today we noticed pretty quickly that it was a very tough table. And then local player Ami Alibay sent this tweet:

Here’s the lineup as it was just 30 minutes ago:

Eric,Afriat,Seat 7

Ami,Alibay,Seat 10

Tim Reilly and Marvin Rettenmaier are household names (at least in the poker world) but just because some of the other names aren’t as well-known doesn’t mean they’re any less dangerous. Between Samuel Chartier, Carlo Nini, Will Molson, Jiachen Gong, Eric Afriat and Ami Alibay you have one of the strongest concentrations of Montreal-area poker talent possible. And add to that Jonathan Karamalikis… whew.
