As Mike Sexton exclaimed in his intro today – quoting Bruce Buffer – It’s Time!
Cards are now in the air for Day 1c and there are are already as many players seated in the tournament as there were after all 6 levels of late registration yesterday – so it’s definitely shaping up to be a huge day.
There are a few new faces in the field today that we haven’t seen in previous starting days in this year’s WPT Montreal, including local stars Marc-Etienne McLaughlin, Laurence Grondin, and Alexandre Lavigne. Also joining the field fresh off his 2nd place finish in Event 3 is Fabio Luongo, who has proven to be a talented poker player in recent years.
As with every Day 1 in this event, players today are playing 10 60-minute levels today with breaks every 2 levels and a 45-minute long dinner break after level 6. The end of the dinner break is also the end of late registration, so after that we’ll have a final count of the number of entries in the event and thus the prize pool.
