Jonathan Poissant raised from UTG to 70K. Action folded around to chip leader Mario Lim in the Big Blind, who shoved. Jonathan insta-called and flipped , which was stronger than Mario had anticipated – he held .

The flop was safe for Jonathan: but the on the turn was a terrible card and the on the river couldn’t save it for him. Jonathan leaves the tournament in 37th place.

With the tournament down to 36 players, a table has broken and play continues on 4 tables.

Edouard Dupuis has just been eliminated from the tournament. We didn’t catch the hand, but Samuel Chartier was stacking the chips and his pocket Aces were still tabled. Edouard has won $4,709.00 for his efforts in the tournament.

Ami Alibay has doubled up on the first hand of the day. Action was blind on blind and we arrived on the turn to a board. Ami was all in for the 385K that remained in his stack after the earlier action and James Nortcliff called.

The river was a brick for James and Ami’s flush held. Ami is now holding just under 1M chips.

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!
