The dealer meeting is over, dealers have taken their seats, floors are poised and ready for the action to begin, and now the 180 players in action for today’s Day 2 restart are taking their seats in the Tournament Hall… everything is set for Day 2 action to begin!
The chip leader today is local pro Jiachen Gong who is in the midst of a year-long tournament breakthrough in his career – and starting with almost 20K more than his nearest opponent may just give him the lift he needs to threaten a deep run.
That being said, however, the field is full of experienced and talented players, pros and amateurs alike! Also found in the top 15 chip leaders to start the day are Tony Dunst, former WPT Canadian Spring Champion Amir Babakhani, and Jason Lavallée, as well as players like Josue Sauvageau who have all the talent in the world but more of a local reputation.
The chip average to start today is 69.5K and with blinds starting at 600/1,200/a200, even a player with an average stack is 58bb deep. Play today will continue through 9 60-minute levels.
Action will resume in just seconds – good luck to everyone playing today!
