Day 2 of Event 4 in the Montréal Poker Expo will begin at 7pm tonight as players return to the felt to try for a piece of the massive $48,888 prize pool! There are 40 players left in the action and 17 places will pay, so the money bubble will approach very quickly to start the night.
There are several past Playground Event Champions still in the field, including (among others) Henri Balcazar, Felix Sides, David Ormsby, and Michael Korovine. But perhaps the player with the most to prove – and who has already shown great form during the Montréal Poker Expo – is Ruben Perceval. Ruben placed 12th in Event 1, and when he was finished last night he swallowed his disappointment, bought into Event 4… and proceeded to build up the 2nd strongest stack of the night!
Blind levels will be 30 minutes in length tonight and the action starts in level 17 (BB 5K, SB 2.5K, ante 500). Play will not conclude before there is a winner, so we could be in for a long night of poker. With the strong field remaining, it will definitely be a great night of poker!
