The players have just returned from the third break of the day and the field has definitely thinned out. There are now only 26 players remaining, all fighting it out for the top prize of $16,830. The min-cash happens in 18th so there will be some pressure on the small stacks from the big boys sitting on piles of chips. There will be a table re-draw at 24 players, at which time the players will move from the tent area to the main tournament room.
The current chip leader is Ali Keshavarz from Scarborough, Ont, playing a 273,000 chip stack, followed closely by Matthew White from Etobicoke, Ontario, also in the Toronto region.
