Jason Comtois has outlasted a very tough field of 1079 entries to emerge the winner of the 2014 partypoker Canadian Spring Championship!

After just 18 hands of heads up play against the second place finisher, John Paul Tabago, Jason managed to get a call to his 4-bet shove holding . JP held just and would need a lot of help. The flop of gave each of them a piece though Jason had the most of it, and the turn and river kept Jason in the lead and gave him the championship.

There are many Playground regulars still in the field and among them are a few players who due to their history or their chip stack deserve the “player to watch” label.

Ryan Higgins

Ryan is a full-time poker player who could just as easily fall under the “Team Quebec” label and is just one or two breakthrough results away (if that). Primarily an online player, Ryan also has a final table in a WSOP-C event under his belt as well as several deep runs in big events here at Playground.

Louis-Alexandre Cabana

Louis-Alexandre has made himself known in local poker rooms for a couple of years now with regular appearances in daily tourney final tables and winner’s photographs. A former dealer, Louis-Alexandre more than held his own on Day 1c on a table that featured, at different points, Mike Sexton, Antonio Esfandiari, and Gavin Smith.

Josh Kimmel

Josh is another local player who’s often found on final tables in Playground events and made a deep run in the inaugural WPT Montreal in 2012, finishing 54th. A film producer by trade, Josh has several poker productions under his belt and comes to Day 2 with a solid stack.

Marc-André Racine

Marc-André has become more of a cash player than a tournament player recently, but that doesn’t change the fact that he has had a lot of success in events big and small at Playground. No one is eager to see him move to their table in a tournament, that’s for sure.

Ami Alibay

Ami is a local restaurant and nightclub owner who may not play as many daily tournaments as many of the others in this list, but has thrived in big events both here and in the US. Just in the past year Ami barely missed the final table of a 6-Max event at the WSOP in Las Vegas and later in the summer made a deep run (125th) in the WSOP Main Event.

Noy

Noy is a known for a carefree attitude and his unconventional betting lines, but no one who plays in local tourneys at any buy-in takes him lightly. Last year he final tabled a $1K side event in the 2013 Spring Classic and though be began very short stacked managed to ratchet up a few positions to finish 6th.

Eric Afriat

Last but most definitely not least is Eric Afriat, who is the only player in the field who can say he played a WPT Final Table against Phil Ivey (in the 2010 WPT Championship at Bellagio). More recently Eric won a $5K Bellagio Cup event in 2012 and made a deep run in last summer’s Little One for One Drop.

Samuel Chartier

Although he’s not Quebec’s highest profile player, Samuel Chartier has built up an extremely impressive resumé including success in events all over the world, including wins in the 2009 WSOP-C Championship and a PCA side-event win.

Philippe Boucher

Philippe Boucher is a well-respected Quebec pro who boasts a WSOP bracelet from a PLO Event at the WSOP-E in Cannes in 2009 and other results from events around the globe since 2004.

Laurence Grondin

Laurence, known universally by her Twitter handle @LadyLuckPoker, is primarily an online pro but she has also had a lot of live success over the years. In addition to playing poker, Laurence is currently a TV Poker analyst at RDS (a French-language sports channel).

Jean-Philippe Piquette

Playground Players Club member JP Piquette is an online and live poker pro whose claim to fame here at the Club is having won the Main and High Roller Events at the first Playground Poker Classic festival, taking home the first two Championship Belts that were ever awarded by Playground Poker Club. Piquette is a dedicated tournament and cash game player and managed to cash in 6 of 8 events he entered in the 2013 EPT Prague festival.

Patrick Braga

Patrick Braga may not consider himself a poker pro, but he has enough results to be put on any Team Quebec list. Patrick’s biggest result to date is his win in the 2013 FPS Deauville Main Event.

Mike Sexton

Mike Sexton, a member of the Poker Hall of Fame, is not only the announcer for the World Poker Tour, but also a seasoned poker player that has been on the circuit for years. With over $5.4M in poker earnings, this WSOP bracelet winner ($1.5K Seven-Card Stud Split – 1989) is often referred to as “the ambassador of poker”.

Mike Leah

Mike Leah, known online as “GoLeafsGoEh”, is said to be one of the most accomplished mixed game players on the poker circuit. He is fresh off four recent wins in 2014, with a 1st place finish in a $1.1K event at the Fallsview Poker Classic last month, a win in a $5.3K turbo event in the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure, and two WSOP Circuit Event wins in Los Angeles (a $365 and a $580 event), which currently puts him in 29th place for the 2014 Player of the Year race.

Tony Dunst

Anthony George Dunst, who won his first WPT Title last November when he took down the $3,500 WPT Caribbean Main Event, has been working for the World Poker Tour as a live stream host and commentator for three years now. With over $1M in earnings, he is not to be taken lightly.

Kara Scott

Best known as the host of several poker TV programs, Kara Scott is not to be taken lightly as a player in her own right. Kara is a partypoker Team Pro and has several notable accomplishments on her resume including deep runs in back to back WSOP Main Events in 2008 and 2009 and over $600K in lifetime earnings.

Xuan Liu

Xuan Liu is perennially considered one of Canada’s players to watch, but by most measures she has already arrived. The WPT Season XI One To Watch has over $1.4M in lifetime live poker winnings including a 3rd place finish in the 2007 EPT San Remo Main Event.

Event 6 in the Playground Poker Spring Classic was the $1000 + $100 partypoker WPT Canadian Spring Championship, a next-day re-entry event with three starting flights that had a total of 1079 entries over all three flights. This generated a total prize pool of $1,046,630.00 which will be awarded according to the following payout table.
