Of the top eight players by chip stack, Francois Gauthier is the overall leader at the second break with 694,000 in chips. However, there are three other players up above 600,000 chasing close behind. By all indications, this looks like it will be one of the richest flights we’ve seen to date in the $200 + $20 Grand Prix Canada, raising the possibility that the leader at the end of today’s Day 1L action will rise above the three million in chips held by the overall tournament leader Henry Nathan John, from Online Day 1B.
Level nine is now underway, and there remains just 50 minutes before the end of the registration period. As for player entry numbers, we’ve almost crested the 300-entry mark … but not quite yet.
