In what has marked the largest tournament in Canadian poker history, the partypoker MILLIONS North America $5,300 Main Event is nearing the end. The final nine players will be seated under the lights and in front of the cameras for Day 5 with millions of dollars up for grabs. The winner will be determined in a matter of hours and will be walking away with a cool $1,400,000.
Anthony Ruberto leads the way with 409,000,000 chips after a strong end to Day 4. Not far behind is Taylor Black with 406,000,000 chips as the two Americans will try to steal the show on Canadian soil. There are also five Canadians in the mix as Tommy Nguyen (327,000,000), George Lagos (220,000,000), Guillaume Nolet (110,000,000), Demosthenes Kiriopoulos (74,000,000), and Charles La Boissonniere (45,000,000) will all be looking to make a charge to the top.
