There are interesting situations in all corners of a tournament of this nature, but sometimes in a tournament a particular table stands out. In this case it’s table 35. Mike Sexton has been seated there all day, which accounts for some of the attention, but it’s not only that there’s a player of his stature seated.
The table has also been anchored throughout the day by players like John Palmer, and (since around 2:00pm) by Faisal Khan. Take a group of skilled but sociable players and it’s bound to be interesting. Earlier in the day we saw John take out Alexander Wong, a very accomplished player from Ottawa, and more recently, local hotshot Chanracy Khun was eliminated. Taking his space is none other than race car driver Isabelle Tremblay – someone who always adds some fun to the table.
The most interesting thing, however, may be that Faisal Khan has managed to grow his stack to pass the 1M mark. Try as we like, at the end of the day it’s the stacks of chips that really count!
