Brian was eliminated shortly after the deal was made, giving some chips to David and some to Jeffrey, and we are now heads-up in Event 7. Both players are essentially tied in chips, with an average stack worth almost 40bb.
Good luck!
3rd place: Brian Morgan – $13,860.00 (+ 6 Bounty chips)
Brian Morgan
The clock was paused when the tournament fell 3-handed, and the players decided to take a look at the ICM chip-chop numbers. After a quick look, all three decided it was fair and shook on the deal.
The tournament sets aside $1,700 for the eventual winner, who will also win himself a Playground Poker Spring Classic Champion’s Trophy, and so action is back on, with the following payouts secured:
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis | Prize | Prix |
|---|---|---|---|
| David | Whalen | 1,810,000 | $15,430 |
| Jeffrey | Cormier | 1,495,000 | $14,820 |
| Brian | Morgan | 1,100,000 | $13,860 |
Andrew Boujaoude
Andrew Boujaoude was grinding a short stack for several orbits now, and once he dropped to 4bb, he picked up a hand worth playing. He moved in first to act, and Jeffrey isolated from the small blind.

With some help on the 
board, Jeffrey eliminated Andrew in 4th place.

Counts of final 3 players
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| David | Whalen | 1,810,000 |
| Jeffrey | Cormier | 1,495,000 |
| Brian | Morgan | 1,100,000 |
Pots have been rather small in the last few orbits, with no all-ins that were called and very few showdowns – however David Whalen has been on the receiving end of many of these pots. He has managed to steadily chip up to nearly 2 million chips, effectively taking over the chips lead. Brian sits on around 1.2 million, while Jeffrey holds 800,000 and Andrew 500,000.
The players in the Survivor tournament are taking their final break of the night as tournament staff removes the T500 chips from play. There are still 19 players in the action, all hoping to be among the 14 survivors who will chop the prize pool evenly.
Ian Pierre Rivero
Ian Pierre Rivero lost half his stack when he turned two-pair versus the higher two-pair of Andrew, and then 3bet shoved from the small blind on the next hand. He was called by David – the original raiser.
