Marc-Olivier Carpentier-Perrault is a talented local player who has had a lot of success both online and live, but he started the day with just 6,500 in chips. He also started the day on a table (Table 56) with 2 other short-stacked players, a situation that can often be beneficial – but can also be dangerous.
Through 3/4 of the first level played today, Marc-Olivier has managed to build his tiny stack into over 42,000 tournament chips – still nowhere near the leaders, but definitely healthy enough to really get started.
In his most recent double-up (and then some), Jeanrene Plante raised in early position to 3K and found calls from both Ronald Lauzon and Ronald Laplante. Marc-Olivier then raised all-in – getting a fold from Jeanrene, an all-in over the top from Ronald Lauzon and a fold from Ronald Laplante.
