Level 5
: 200/400, 100 ante
As late registration closed during the break, a few last minute arrivals have entered the field, and most likely all three of these gentlemen are favorites to win.
Shawn Daigle is the defending champion of this event and also won another title during the 2016 World Cup of Cards.
William Blais is a regular crusher here at Playground and also picked up a win during the 2016 festival, including multiple final tables.
David Jeanneau-Cyr scooped four titles in 2016, even hoisting trophies on bac-to-back nights.

It appeared Slaughter had made a big bet on the river and Shetye had called. Slaughter tabled

Yousif had been caught but the

Facing a bet and a call of 600 from two players in early and middle-position, Daniel Gennings made the call from the cutoff on the turn of a 
board.
The river was the

The player in mid-position tabled 
for a wheel but Gennings tabled 
for the top end of the straight. The other player mucked and Gennings raked in the pot.
