After an almost 4 hour official final table bubble, 3 of Canada’s top names in poker have made Day 6 and the 2013 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure eight handed final table; Nova Scotia’s Owen Crowe, recent FTOPS Main Event winner Yann “Yadio1111” Dion and WPT Montreal winner Jonathan Roy will all be representing on Sunday.
Day 5 play ended at Level 28, with the blinds at 30k/60k and an ante of 5k. Only 2 players sit above the average stack of approximately 3.7 million, as chip leader Jerry Wong sits at roughly 7.4 million and sharing about half the chips in play with Joel Micka.
Crowe is currently in 4th with 2.9 million in tournament chips, Dion in 6th with ~2.5 and Roy on the shortest stack sitting around 1,500,000.
Here is what they will be playing for Sunday:
1st $1,859,000
