A few minutes were given to the players to take their loot out of their bags, then tournament director said the magic words: “Dealers! Shuffle-up and deal!”, and it was game on.
The field of 745 players has now been reduced to 155 for Day 2. Today, 10 levels of 40 minutes will be played. The battle will continue tomorrow, Sunday June 30th at 12:00pm when play will continue until a winner is crowned. There has been a full seating redraw, which can be found here.
Coming into Day 2, Michel Gariepy is the chipleader, with a respectable 339,000 chips in his bag. Gariepy set the bar early, qualifying during Day 1A, and remained unseated through the remaining Day 1 flights. Five other players have managed to bag over 300K chips: Steve Pouliot,, Anthony Riley, Pascal Fournier, Dominic Tossings, and David Lanthier, with stacks ranging from 313,500 to 302,000 chips.
This promises to be an exciting day and the action will undoubtedly be unrelenting as the players ease into their mid-game strategy.
