Jimmy Lee is the defending champion in this event, taking it down this past July across town at Casino Edmonton, and it looks like he’s well on pace to repeat the feat. He bagged the biggest stack at the end of Day 1a, which played into Level 16 before they finally found the bags.
Lee bagged 474k, but he has Garry Sandhu nipping at his heels with 469k. Aman Dhaliwal is 3rd, but he’s way back with just over 200k, and Clayton Litke and Eric Wasylenko round out the top 5 with just under 200k each.
