Early eliminations

  • Level: 11
  • Small Blind: 600
  • Big Blind: 1.2K
  • Ante: 200
  • Chip Average: 76K
  • Remaining: 289
  • Entries: 732


Twelve players have already been eliminated from the tournament in the first few minutes today, and the pace should continue to be relatively quick as the shorter stacks to start today are winnowed out of the field – or build up big stacks themselves!

Tony Dunst and Daniel Strelitz are two of the early casualties. Daniel started the day with just 3K in chips after having lost a cooler at the end of his Day 1, and though he doubled in the first hand, doubling up to 6K didn’t really change anything for him.

Cards are in the air for Day 2!

Tournament staff has made the opening announcements and cards are now in the air for Day 2 of the 2014 WPT Montreal!

Good luck to all of the players!

Welcome to Day 2 of the WPT Montreal

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.

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.
