With some recent eliminations, Event 5 has dropped under 27 players. Our last 3 tables have formed, and Paul El-Khouri is still in the lead, although Siamak S is quickly catching up to him.
Jason Comtois fell when his 
failed to improve to a pair in his pre-flop all-in battle against Marton Szlavy’s 
. The 
board brought him no help, even adding insult to injury when the river appeared.
Pascal Cornaz also went out. His elimination was a brutal one, as his 
got undone when the 
board brought a much needed river for Howard Kotchie’s 
.
Our 27 remaining players will go on break in 45 minutes.
