And on to Day 2

There was yet another snowstorm in the Montreal area in the early morning hours today, dumping more than 7 cm (3 in) of snow, but the bad weather seems not to have prevented the players who have qualified for Day 2 from arriving on time. Nevertheless we have delayed the start of the day’s action for 15 minutes, so the tournament is set to resume in approximately a half hour.

There are 311 players starting Day 2 action today spread out among 35 tables, and among the players starting today are many notable figures both internationally and locally. We’ll be following up this morning with short profiles of some of the more notable players still in the event.

Good luck to everyone today!

WPT CSC – Day 2 seating draw & counts

The following table is the official seating draw for players who have qualified through one of the three starting flights of the WPT Canadian Spring Championship, a $1000 + $100 No Limit Hold’em event in the Playground Poker Spring Classic.

There were a total of 1079 entries across all three starting days. Of the total number of entries, 318 qualified for Day 2. As a next-day re-entry tournament, players were permitted to play multiple Day 1s but players who qualified twice or more will take only their largest result to Day 2. A total of 7 players qualified twice; these players’ smaller stacks have been removed from the event. Therefore, 311 players will begin Day 2 on Sunday March 30th at 12:00pm.

Note that the chip counts in this list are player-reported and not verified in any way. In addition, transcription errors may occur from time to time. The actual stack players will start with on Day 2 is made up of the sealed chips they placed in the bag at the end of their Day 1 starting flight.
