With already 37 players eliminated after 9 levels of play here in Event 7, a few players have jumped ahead of the curve and built some impressive stacks. Although he just lost a decent chunk of his stack right before the break started, Stuart Taylor is still far ahead of any other player in this field. Here is a look at the current leaderboard (and their approximate chip counts):
We’re nearing the half-way mark of the last level of play in Day 1c of the WPT Montreal, which was by far the biggest of the three starting flights. Given the total amount of chips in play today, we can expect to see the overall chipleader of Day 1 to come out of this flight (although that is not a guarantee).
Shortly after players have finished bagging and tagging their chips, we will be publishing the player reported chip counts from all of the players who have qualified for Day 2, as well as the seating arrangements.
Day 2 will take place tomorrow at 12pm in the tournament hall here at Playground Poker Club.

We’ve just begun level 7 here in Event 7 of the Playground Poker Fall Classic, and a few players have already been eliminated. Given the turbo format of the event, we can expect to see a lot of action right from the start, as players are well aware that the structure is favourable for aggressive players.

The WPT Montreal Player’s Party is now in full swing, and many of the participants in this year’s Main Event are at the Rail Coal Fire Bistro enjoying drinks on the house!
We are nearing the half-way mark of the last level of play here in Day 1b of the WPT Montreal, and when the clock runs out in this 10th level of the day, the remaining players will bag and tag their chips onto Day 2. Player reported chip counts will be made available shortly after the conclusion of this day.
This was the second of 3 starting flights for this Main Event of the Playground Poker Fall Classic, and Day 1c is scheduled to start tomorrow at 11am.

Nice to see so many poker pros enjoying their time in Canada at WPTMontreal. Seems it's becoming a must attend stop on the circuit.

I really must say, the chairs at @PlaygroundPoker make live poker much more enjoyable. More rooms should try to keep up with them.
