CHAOS AT THE TABLES!
12:10pm - Table 2 ... Franco Amoreli outlasts Chris Sprysa - AK over A3, we have our final table!
BUT WAIT! On the same orbit, over at Table 1 - two tournament favourites, Marc-Andre Ladouceur and Martin Fournier Giguere clash. Ladouceur's KK way ahead of MFG's AK ... but an ace on the turn has changed this tournament dramatically. We're finally at our final table.
IS JOE TEHAN IN THE HOUSE?
12:00pm - Marc-Andre Ladouceur offering $5 or a free beer to any player showing their hole cards once they win a hand.
I RAISE
11:55am - Chanracy Khun went to the well on all four streets only to be called each time by JC Ferreira ... that is, until Ferreira raised, Khun went all in and the river wasn't need for Ferreira to double up with two pairs.
TOG DOG GONE
11:40am - Steven Paul-Ambrose has been ousted of the GTPLQ - finishing in 10th position. Steve was second in chips to start the day and was one of the favourites coming into the tournament.
KHUN DEFEATS LAM
11:30am - Chanracy Khun has eliminated Louis Lam, Lam finishes 11th in the event. Khun's AQ hit the river Q to eliminate Lam and his 99.
EMERGING CONTENDER
11:25am - While most expected Table 1 to be the Steven Paul-Ambrose v. Marc-Andre Ladouceur Show, Martin Fournier-Giguere has emerged as the table captain, and looks to be the man to beat here Lac-Leamy.
PAUL-AMBROSE TAKES A BIG HIT
11:10am - Steven Paul-Ambrose doubles up Franco Amoreli - Paul-Ambrose takes a huge hit.
NO MATCH FOR LAM
11:08am - Having tempted faith already a few times today, Philippe Belley's run ran out - his Q10 was no match for Louis Lam's KK. Belley out in 12th.
DOUBLE-UP FOR MFG
11:05am - Martin Fournier-Giguere doubles-up through chip leader Marc-Andre Ladouceur AK v AQ - MFG now sitting with approx. 140K chips.
FAN FAVOURITE GONE
10:49am - Gaby Houle Morin is out in 13th position - they're dropping like flies early!
LADOUCEUR EARNS FIRST KILL
10:45am - Chip leader Marc-Andre Ladouceur has taken care of his first player. Eric Salvas was all-in with Q9 against Ladouceur's AQ - with a queen on the flop. No miracle card, Salvas is out 14th.
YOU WANT ACTION?
10:30am - Two all-ins, two tables! On Table 2, Jonathan Driscoll's queens are not match to JC Ferreira's aces, causing him to exit in 15th position ... meanwhile, at Table 1, Franco Amoreli's all-in is met with folds from Steve Paul-Ambrose and Carlos Nahas.
NOT-SO SWEET 16
10:13am - Louis Crete is out in 16th position, having run into aces.
ALREADY ALL-IN
10:10am - Eric Salvas doubles-up.
SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL!
10:03am - Cards are in the air - blinds 1200/2400/300 for 56 minutes .. then two more levels, no break after this level.
COME ONE, COME ALL
9:50am - Players are at the tables, counting their chip stacks. A reminder that the event is open to the public, there are plenty of GREAT seats available to all (ages 18 and over, of course) ... come on down!
BRIGHT AND EARLY
