Players in the High Roller tournament were slated to play 9 levels today, but with the money bubble so close they chose to play down to the bubble so that everyone who will come back for Day 3 will be in the money.

Day 4 of the WPT Canadian Spring Championship will start with the 18 remaining players in the tournament and continue until a 6-handed final table is established. These are seating assignments and chip counts for Day 4.

Event 9’s final tally of runners reached an impressive 94 players. And now that the final number is established the prize pool has been released. The total prize pool is $45,590.00 which will be distributed according to this table.

We’ve posted some photos of tonight’s Day 1 of Event 9 in a Facebook Gallery. Here is a sample:

Philippe Kerri was also short stacked entering the final table, and exits the event in 9th place.

9th place: Philippe Kerri

Matt Giannetti was extremely short-stacked for much of the day but played his short stack very well to stay alive and find his spot. And he found it – while there were still 11 in the tourney Matt, always active, managed to double up and gain some breathing room.

He was still relatively short stacked however and after flopping two pair, Matt got it in – and fall victim to a better two-pair held by Pascal Lefrançois.

10th place: Matt Giannetti

Players Club member Christopher McClung is out in 11th place after losing a pot to Shannon Shorr, who is the current chip leader.

Final Table

• Seat 1: Philippe Kerri
• Seat 2: Matthew Giannetti
• Seat 3: Pascal Lefrançois
• Seat 4: Setrak Suloukji
• Seat 5: David Ormsby
• Seat 6: Hank Sitton
• Seat 7: Nicholas P Grippo
• Seat 8: Shannon Shorr
• Seat 9: John Andress
• Seat 10: Darren Elias

So it’s not a particularly meaningful bubble like a money bubble would be, but nevertheless the High Rollers event is on the final table bubble with just 11 left in the action. Jonathan Little was the most recent player to be eliminated in 12th place.

After the second break of the evening there are just 12 players left in the High Roller tournament. With the final table starting at 10 players we’re just two away from a single-table affair.
