There were 339 players to start the day and through the first level of play tonight that dropped to 304 players left in contention to make the money in the event.
Some of the players eliminated early tonight: Louise Lamarche Khanna, David Barter, George Caragiorgas, Alex Keo, and William Latulippe.
Guy Carbonneau
The other news from the beginning of the action tonight is that although Guy Carbonneau qualified for Day 2 with a healthy stack, he had a previous engagement (of a charitable nature) away from Montreal. His stack will continue in the event and be blinded off throughout the evening.
