The first break is now passed in the $550 6-Max, and local pillar Sébastien Proulx is in the driver’s seat with 80,000 chips. A regular achiever in the Monday night 6-Max daily tournament here at Playground, he now shows the big league what he’s made of.
Of course, a whole lot of poker is ahead, and the volatile nature of this format denies any stack the comfort zone at this point.
Proulx is followed by Giovanni Massa and Nader Ammar. All players are looking at a truly bloated prize pool, as the guarantee is almost doubled, with another 4 levels of play before this turns into a freezeout!
