Peaking over their shoulders, we did a rough count of the stacks in play. Here is the current chip distribution:
| First Name | Last Name | Seat | Stack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jeff | Rosenblatt | Seat 10 | 1,075,000 |
| Jonathan | Bussieres | Seat 8 | 675,000 |
| Ruben | Perceval | Seat 6 | 530,000 |
| Real | Cantin | Seat 4 | 250,000 |
| Levi | Stevens | Seat 2 | 175,000 |
| Nicolas | Aubut | Seat 9 | 120,000 |
It only took 3 hands on this final table to go from 10 to 6 players. Martin Casaubon was the first casualty, eliminated on the first hand of the final table, and he was quickly followed by Roger Lamia, eliminated by Jonathan Bussieres on the second hand of play.
Jeff Rosenblatt then knocked out two more on the very next hand, as he opened from early position, and called off the short-stack all-ins of Pierre Olivier Guay and of Andre Bilodeau.

Jeff made a runner-runner straight on the 
board to score the double knockout, increasing his holdings to over 800,000 – good for the chip lead. He has since picked up a few more chips.
7th place: Pierre Olivier Guay – $1,620.00

Only 10 players remain in Event 6, and we now have our final table! Here they are:
| First Name | Last Name | Seat |
|---|---|---|
| Martin | Casaubon | Seat 1 |
| Levi | Stevens | Seat 2 |
| Pierre Olivier | Guay | Seat 3 |
| Real | Cantin | Seat 4 |
| Andre | Bilodeau | Seat 5 |
| Ruben | Perceval | Seat 6 |
| Roger | Lamia | Seat 7 |
| Jonathan | Bussieres | Seat 8 |
| Nicolas | Aubut | Seat 9 |
| Jeff | Rosenblatt | Seat 10 |
Event 6 reached the money-bubble when the 13 players decided to pay an extra spot, and guarantee themselves all a payout. They pulled money from the top 5 spots to award $330 to 13th place, and with that the tournament is now in the money!
Jason Mottershead fell in 15th place to the hands of Nicolas Aubut, who has just scored his third cash in as many days after finishing 1st in Event 3, and then placing 4th in Event 4 the following day. Next to go was Christopher King, who pushed his last 50,000 from late position with 
, and lost to the 
of Ruben Perceval in the big blind.
The tournament fell on break moments later, and during that time we did full counts of the remaining 13 players. Interestingly enough, it seems that most of the chips in play are found on Table 66, as not a single player on Table 62 is above average. Here is the current chip distribution as play enters level 21:
| First Name | Last Name | Seat | Stack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ruben | Perceval | Table 66 - Seat 6 | 558,000 |
| Jeff | Rosenblatt | Table 66 - Seat 8 | 542,000 |
| Patrick | St-Onge | Table 66 - Seat 5 | 294,000 |
| Jonathan | Bussieres | Table 66 - Seat 4 | 235,000 |
| Real | Cantin | Table 62 - Seat 9 | 212,000 |
| Roger | Lamia | Table 62 - Seat 7 | 200,000 |
| Pierre Olivier | Guay | Table 62 - Seat 2 | 174,000 |
| Levi | Stevens | Table 62 - Seat 1 | 171,000 |
| Marckenley | Bastien | Table 62 - Seat 3 | 139,000 |
| Andre | Bilodeau | Table 62 - Seat 6 | 107,000 |
| Nicolas | Aubut | Table 62 - Seat 5 | 98,000 |
| Martin | Casaubon | Table 66 - Seat 2 | 82,000 |
| Jacques | Bigonesse | Table 66 - Seat 1 | 56,000 |
Ruben Perceval
After being on the winning end of a few confrontations with big stack Jeff Rosenblatt, Ruben Perceval has managed to substantially increase his chip stack in the last few orbits. He took two big chunks out of the former chip leader before losing some chips himself, and currently holds around 475,000, putting him in the current chip lead.
Play has slowed down a little in the recent level, surely due to the money-bubble factor, however this can change quickly as many players have become short stacked in the process, with 5 players sitting under the 10 big blind range.
Jeff Rosenblatt has gone on a hot streak in the last two levels, and has more than doubled his already impressive stack, climbing up to roughly 600,000 in chips. He now holds almost double any other player left in the field. Patrick St-Onge has climbed the leaderboard in recent levels as well, and now sits in a comfortable second place, with around 325,000, while Roger Lamia has regained his spot on the leaderboard.
With the recent eliminations of Bill Kontaratos, Nathan Salois and Marco Souza, we are now but 3 spots away from in the money.
With the recent elimination of Raphael Ohayon in 19th place, Event 6 has is now down to its final 2 tables of nine players. The money bubble is looming, as we are but 6 eliminations from a min-cash position.
Here is the seating arrangement for the final 18 players:
| First Name | Last Name | Seat |
|---|---|---|
| Levi | Stevens | Table 62 - Seat 1 |

| Roger | Lamia | Table 62 - Seat 7 |

| Real | Cantin | Table 62 - Seat 9 |
| Jacques | Bigonesse | Table 66 - Seat 1 |
| Martin | Casaubon | Table 66 - Seat 2 |

The starting field of 115 players has now been reduced to only 25 players, and leading the way is Jacques Bigonesse, closely followed by Jeff Rosenblatt. These two hold a healthy lead on the rest of the field, as 3rd in chips is almost 15 big blinds behind. Here is a look at the top stacks entering level 17:
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Jacques | Bigonesse | 254,500 |
| Jeff | Rosenblatt | 242,000 |
| Ruben | Perceval | 171,000 |
| Bill | Kontaratos | 154,500 |
| Jason | Mottershead | 150,500 |

The $330 Deepstack tournament that started today at 11am is now down to 35 players remaining – since the tournament is a 9-handed affair, this means there are just 4 tables left.
On the leaderboard, Roger Lamia is still leading the way but his table-mate Jeff Rosenblatt has almost caught up – and these two players are a good distance in front of the rest of the current chip leaders. It will be interesting to see how this dynamic – the two chip leaders on the same table – plays out as the tournament enters its later phases.
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Roger | Lamia | 263,000 |
| Jeff | Rosenblatt | 234,200 |
| Christopher | King | 174,500 |
| Jason | Mottershead | 172,300 |
| Raphael | Ohayon | 160,300 |
| Stephane | Edme | 145,600 |

Here are a few more photos of the players remaining in Event 6. Stacks are growing fast and a few of the leaders are starting to distance themselves from the field.
