It’s 11:30am and we’re just 30 minutes away (give or take) from the start of Day 1a of the PartyPoker WPT Montreal and players are arriving, buying their tickets, enjoying a nice breakfast at The Rail, and generally preparing to get started in what should prove to be one of the season’s largest WPT stops.
Surveying Twitter and other social media we find that there are quite a few star players who will be in the field today. Jonathan Roy, last year’s champion, will start today, as will 3rd place finisher Jeff Gross. Some of the other notables expected today: Premier League VII champion Sorel Mizzi, WSOP Main Event Final Tablist Marc-Etienne McLachlan, British online superstar Chris Moorman, and many more.
Pumped to be back playing a @WPT event here in Montreal at my favorite venue @PLAYGROUNDPOKER today for day 1a of main event!!
