The players have just returned from their first break of the afternoon, and the field continues to grow with each passing minute. Helped along by 18 re-entries up to this point, there have been 146 total entries in this flight, and 120 players remain in contention.
The players were not shy about putting their chips in the middle during the early levels, which allowed several players to more than double their starting stacks. The current chip leader, Francis Boisvert, was catapulted to the top of the leader board by a dramatic three-way all in where he improved his flopped set when the board paired on the river to eliminate two players who had turned flushes.
The current chip leader:
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |

| Francis | Boisvert | 85,500 |
| Marc-Antoine | Cote | 81,700 |
| Carl | Des Granges | 71,000 |
| Stephane | Bedard | 70,400 |
| Jaime | Novak | 68,800 |
