Day 2 of the 2014 WPT Montreal is set to get underway in about 15 minutes, and the Tournament Hall is filling up as players arrive to take their seats for the day. Play today will continue for 10 levels of 60 minutes each, with 15 minute breaks after every 2nd level and a 45-minute long dinner break after level 16. There are 301 players still in contention in the tournament, which has a total cash prize pool of $2,468,508.00 and a top cash prize of $446,800.00! In addition, the winner will receive an entry in the WPT World Championship to be held at Borgata in April of 2015. [View the prize pool and payout structure]
The field today is absolutely stacked with poker talent. Poker superstars like Mike Leah (chipleader), Scott Clements, Marc-André Ladouceur, and Will Molson can all be found at the top of the leaderboard going into the action today, but lurking just a little further down are top-fight pros like Jason Mercier, Antonio Esfandiari, Michael McDonald and many, many more. There are two players who made the final table of this event last year still in the mix as well: Mukul Pahuja (runner-up in 2013) and Alexandre Lavigne (6th place).
We’re all set for an exciting day of poker on a cloudy Sunday here in the Montreal area. Follow the action all day here and via WPT Live Updates.
