Play continues in the High Roller tournament and with just over one level left to go on Day 1 and 4 levels of registration available on Day 2, there are 53 entries so far. 35 of those players are still seated at the tables, which are a who’s who of both local and international poker, both pro and recreational alike.

Some of the most recent entries Edward Lin, Ljubomir Josipic, and former Playground HR champion Samuel Chartier.

Here are some photos taken during level 7:

The players in the High Roller event are taking a dinner break and while they were away from the 4 tables in action, we surveyed the stacks to find out who was leading to this point in the tournament. The current leader is Erik Lemarquand, a familiar face in big buy-in tournaments at Playground, and he is followed by Pegman Meleknia and Philippe “takechip” D’Auteuil.

Cards will be back in the air in about 5 minutes.
