The 39 remaining players have begun taking their seats and unbagging their chips in preparation for Day 3, which is set to start momentarily. Today’s action will be played out until we have our final table of 6, and this final table will resume tomorrow at noon. There will be a full seating redraw at 27, 18 and 10 players, and the blind levels are of 60 minutes.
Three players are leading the field, with Mario Lim at the head of the pack, followed very closely by Eric Afriat and Sylvain Siebert. All three are within a few thousand chips of each other, with stacks ranging between 1.65M and 1.71M. This is Sylvain Siebert’s third time in Day 3 of a WPT Montreal Main Event, as he already has two final tables under his belt, with a 5th place finish in November 2013 and a 4th place finish in November 2014.
Local pro Samuel Chartier is also found in the field, holding nearly 1 million in chips. November final table-ist Alexandre Lavigne is also trying to make back to back WPT Montreal finals.
The cards will be in the air in just a few short moments, as the tournament director is preparing his ‘Shuffle up and deal’ speach.
Good luck to our remaining players!
