  • Play has begun in Day 3 in the Main Event of the PokerStars Canada Cup. They’ll play 20 minutes in level 17 and then the tournament will move to 90-minute levels.

    Day 3 is set to go

    We’re about 20 minutes from the kick off of Day 3 of the Main Event of the PokerStars Canada Cup here at Playground Poker Club. Yesterday the tournament played all the way down to the money bubble (elimination in 73rd place) and no further, so to start Day 3 everyone left alive is in the money. However, with just over $6K for a min-cash and $366,660.00 for first place there’s still a lot to play for.

    Expect the action to start out extremely quickly as players who have been nurturing short stacks make their move to get healthy stacks or get paid, but as the day progresses the action should start to slow down as the pay jumps become more substantial.

    The tournament will play down today to 27 players, at which time those remaining will bag up their chips and return for Day 4 on Tuesday.

    PokerStars Canada Cup Main Event Day 3 seating chart & counts

    Day 2 of the Main Event of the PokerStars Canada Cup has been completed and there are 72 players left with chips who will return for Day 3 tomorrow. At the outset of today’s play the Tournament Director announced a slight modification to the published tournament schedule – today’s play would continue either a) until the players reached the money at 72 players remaining or b) until the end of the 10th level of the day, whichever came first.

    The bubble came (and went) while the tournament was in Level 17, and when the bubble player was eliminated, play stopped and all 72 players in the money bagged their chips to return tomorrow, when play will resume at 11am.

    With a new day comes a new random seating draw. Play will resume in the event with players seated according to this chart. Click on a column heading to re-order the table.
