Play in Day 1I continues unabated, with the first (and only) break set to come at the end of level 8. A quick survey of the room shows Gary Lucci in the lead with the only stack over 100K so far, though there are a few players hot on his heels – and there’s a long way to go!
There are also some new entrants to the tournament of note – in particular, Will Molson, Samuel Chartier and Mike Leah. It’s not often that you see players with $2.2M, $3M and $7.6M respectively in published live career earnings in a $330 buy-in tournament – it will be interesting to track their progress should they manage to qualify for Day 2 through this turbo flight.
Play continues now in level 8.
