We are now entering level 9, which means that in two hours our last Day 1 will be over, and all those that managed to survive will be coming back tomorrow at 12pm for Day 2 of the PartyPoker WPT Montreal Main Event.
Our top three stacks for the moment are:
Late registration ended when the dinner break ended, and the total number of entries for Day 1c is 339. Combined with Day 1a (215 entries) and Day 1b (308 entries), today’s 339 entries gives a grand total of 862 entries in this year’s WPT Montreal. Final prize pool info will be available tomorrow.
Here’s what our Twitter feed is showing today:

We did some chip counts during the dinner break, and we found our top 5 stacks. They approximately stand at:
Our own Playground Poker Players Club Member Anne Marie Angelil is also holding an impressive 100K.
Day 1c is almost half way through level 6, and at the end of this level will be the 45 minute dinner break. And at the end of the dinner break the opportunity for players to register in this year’s WPT Montreal will come to a close.
The players have just returned from their second break of the day, and the current chip leaders of the tournament are the following:
Looking around the room during the past 3 days it’s obvious that you could put together a full table of players who have made very deep runs in the WSOP Main Event.
In reverse-chronological order:
Please let us know if we’ve missed anyone!
Sunday is a sacred day for online grinders, as there are countless tournaments running all day with huge guarantees across several different poker sites. Some of the American players take full advantage of the chance of playing online when they are out of the country, as most of the poker sites are blocked within the US.
Those fortunate enough to have already qualified for Day 2 of the WPT Montreal Main Event are enjoying a day off today, and are likely firing up one tournament after another right now. Others who still don’t have their seat to tomorrows Day 2 are here at Playground Poker Club today, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t also be online! We’ve spotted a few players who are sitting at the tables with their laptops, iPads or smart phones opened and logged in to their favourite poker sites, multi-tabling live and virtual games.
