There are no formal feature tables in the starting flights of the WPT Montreal, but one table in particular grabbed our interest during the first few levels today. Table 33 doesn’t have any big-name stars on it, but it is filled with solid players with strong poker resumes.
It’s probably lucky for some of these players that their table is 2nd on the current breaking order!
- Gilbert Diaz – A French pro with results in big events all over Europe in the past 5 years including several victories in EPT side events.
- Ruben Perceval – Ruben is a local player who has made several deep runs in big events here at Playground Poker Club.
- Ricky Tang – From Toronto, Ricky has had fantastic results in events at Playground Poker Club including a 2nd in the $1.1K in last year’s Fall Classic, but he also has results in events in both North American and Europe going back to at least 2006.
- Daniel Strelitz – Daniel placed 2nd in the $1.1K WPT Warm-up in this year’s Fall Classic, but is also known for having won a huge prize in an event in the Bicycle Casino’s Mega Millions X series earlier this year.
- Brian Yoon – Brian is an up-and-coming star, having already won two WSOP bracelets including the 2013 Little One for One Drop. He has also won an event in this year’s Fall Classic – the 50/50 Bounty held earlier this week.
- Michael Malm – Michael is also a player with a great track record at Playground Poker Club and who has also won a WSOP bracelet. His best result here was a win in a $550 in the spring of this year.
