Late registration has come to a close and the turnout tonight has been great; there are a total of 161 entries (with 24 re-entries) and with still another four starting flights left to go, it looks like this event is going to be a huge success!
With the average chip stack hovering just a little bit over 25,000 at the first break, a total of seven players were able to build stacks north of 50,000. One player, Marc-Antoine Coté, managed to pull away from the rest of the pack and amass almost triple the chip average and currently sits on a whopping 93,200 chips!
Here are all of the leaders at the first break:
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Marc-Antoine | Cote | 93,200 |
| Benoit | Desbiens | 59,400 |
| Michel | Gauthier | 57,800 |
| Awadies | Manoukiean | 55,600 |
| Jason | Teurquety | 55,200 |
