Few players around Playground seem to be able to build a stack quite as quickly as Sylvain Siebert. Though his Ricky Bobby-like method sometimes does not work out, it is great to watch.
In a recent three-way pot, Siebert bet 30,000 on the turn of a board with about 75,000 in the middle.
One of his opponents moved all-in for just less than a full raise and the other player folded. Siebert snap-called putting his opponent at risk.

Very popular CBC Sunday night talk show host Guy Lepage has jumped into the action here on Day 1c. Lepage hosts a round-table type talk show called 'Tout le monde en parle'.
According to his HendonMob page, Lepage has 10 cashes for over $24,000, all picked up in the United States. If Lepage is able to make a deep run, it will be his first cash at Playground and in Canada as a whole.
Conrado Corpus three-bet to 10,000 preflop and Sean Edelenbos four-bet shoved over the top having two times more chips than Corpus. Corpus only had about 55,000 and was in the tank.
After Edelenbos pushed his stack forward, Corpus asked the dealer to count out the stack. The dealer stacked up Edelenbos' chips and approximated just over 100,000.
Things then got weird and Corpus demanded that the dealer give him an exact count even though it was obvious he was covered. The rest of the table looked annoyed at Corpus purposefully slowing down the game and after getting an exact count of 103,500, Corpus called.

The board ran out and Edelenbos said "Phew," as he raked in the pot.
