Sylvain Siebert Still Playing Strong
Sylvain Siebert came into the day as the chip leader as a result of the Phase 1 Qualifier. He has also been on the table that has provided the most action throughout the day, therefore the table with the most chips on it as well. Recently Siebert got into a battle with Francis Lavallee. Lavallee raised out of middle position to 70,000 and Siebert reraised to 225,000; Lavallee called.
The flop came 
and Lavallee checked to Siebert who bet 250,000. Lavallee made the call again.
The turn was the 
and Lavallee once again checked to Siebert who this time threw out a bet of 475,000. Lavallee discarded his hand into the muck and the pot was shipped to Siebert.
With these two big stacks, along with Dilovan Hussein on the table, the action should continue through the next level of play to close out the night.
