Tournament staff have made the opening announcements and made the traditional starting declaration: “shuffle up and deal” and with that, cards are in the air for Day 1b of the 2014 WPT Montreal.
Late registration today will continue until the end of the 45-minute dinner break after level 6, which is to say you can register today until approximately 6:15pm. The attendance to start today is already quite strong, so it looks like this starting flight will follow the expected pattern and welcome approximately double the players as Day 1a yesterday.
When players arrived at their tables today they were greeted by very sharp looking Partypoker WPT Montreal workout shirts – a nice gift from Partypoker!
There are three other promotions players should keep in mind today. First – the chip leader at the dinner break will receive a pair of Partypoker-branded Monster DNA headphones (courtesy of PartyPoker), and the chip leader at the end of the day will receive Monster DNA headphones courtesy of the World Poker Tour.
The third promotion is pretty amazing – any player that makes a Royal Flush today (using both hole cards, whether the hand goes to showdown or not) will win a free WPT Cruise (with a +1 as well)!
Good luck to all of the players today!
