There now only 42 players still fighting it out looking to be part of the 30 Day 1 qualifiers who will bag their stacks to move on to Day 2.

Over on table 53, with the blinds at 6,000/12,000, action was opened under the gun when Martin Parent raised it up to 31,000. It folded around to Mathieu Fontaine-Raposa seated on the button who tanked for 30 seconds before making the call. The small blind moved out of the way and Kevin Dawe, seated in the big blind, moved all in for 280,000 chips. Martin Parent had a big decision to make as he only had about 400,000 chips in total. He knew if he won the hand he would be in much better shape, but if he lost, he would be close to being out of the tournament. After almost two minutes of tanking he decided to fold his hand. Fontaine-Raposa snap called the all in bet and both hands were tabled:

Fontaine-Raposa:
Dawe:

Fontaine-Raposa had a monster and Dawe was now fighting for survival. The board ran out and Fontaine-Raposa pulled in the chips while Dawe was sent to the rail, ending his tournament day.

Parent mentioned that he folded pocket jacks.
