The late registration and re-entry period has now come to a close and there was a total of 166 entries in tonight’s flight (including 33 re-entries) putting a total of 3,320,000 chips into play. Play will continue until only 10% of the field is remaining, at which point they will all be in the money and bag and tag for Day 2.
With the chip average sitting below 30,000, three players are “neck and neck” for the lead right now but it is Pierre Lauze with a slight edge in first place with exactly 88,000, equal to 176 big blinds.
Here are the current leaders from the first break:
| First name: | Family Name; | Chip stack: |
|---|---|---|
| Pierre | Lauze | 88,000 |
| Denis | Ouellette | 87,400 |
| Stephane | Daigneault | 87,200 |
| Kristopher | Chaykowski | 73,100 |
| Danny | Landry | 72,600 |
