There are now 124 players in contention out of the original 171 entries with still over 30 minutes left in the late registration period. There are some healthy stacks in the room but a few players have started to feel the pressure with well below average stacks.

Action was opened to 1,100 by Jeremy Bertand who had calls from Jocelyn Arseneau and then by Robin Desgreniers in the small blind.  When it was John Paul Tobago’s turn to act in the big blind, he announced that he was all in. Bertrand and Arseneau moved out of the way but after noticing that Tobago only had about 12,000, Desgreniers decided to make the call.

Desgrenier:
Tobago:

Tobago’s timing was good as the board ran out giving him the nut flush and a badly needed double-up.

A break is coming up shortly and it will give us the opportunity to put together the second leaderboard of the evening.
