Jason Mann was another shorter stack to start the day, and he has been eliminated in 14th place.
In his final hand, he found himself all-in holding 
– which was way behind Brian Altman’s 
. The community cards: 
and that was the end of the day for Jason.

Day 4 of the WPT Montreal will begin on Wednesday November 18th at 12pm. When the players return to the tables, they will be in the same relative positions as they were at the end of Day 3. These final two tables will be played in a different part of the Tournament Hall, so while the players’ relative positions will be identical, this chart has the new tables listed.
Play resumes in level 26 and will continue on Day 4 until 6 players remain in the tournament – this will be the TV Final Table, to be played on Day 5. The blinds will be 90 minutes long on Day 4 and will start at 20,000/40,000/a5,000. There will be full seating redraw when 10 players remain – this will be the unofficial final table of the tournament.
Note that the following are player-recorded chip count totals. The actual chips have been sealed in bags which will be opened by the players to be returned to play on Day 4.

After five 90-minutes levels of play, Day 3 of the WPT Montreal has come to a close. Of the 63 players that made it to Day 3 today, only 16 were left to bag their chips onto Day 4.
Leading the way into Day 4 is Trevor Delaney, who built his stack from 968,000 to over 3.285 million over the course of the day. Second in chips is Craig Stewart, who ended his day with 2.425 million in chips, while Brian Altman ended 3rd in chips with 1.965 million.
Full chip counts of all 16 players will be published very shortly.
Day 4 is scheduled for noon tomorrow, Wednesday November 18th, and will continue until the official final table of 6 players has been reached. There will not be a redraw to start the day, and players will have the same seating assignments as at the end of this Day 3. The final table will begin on Thursday at 4pm, and will be a full televised event hosted by Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten. There will be a WPT stage set-up, along with seating for spectators, and anyone and everyone is welcome to come and rail what will surely be an exciting WPT Montreal 2015 final table!

The 16 players remaining at the end of Day 3:
GameBoy’s WPT Montreal has come to an end, and in pretty much the same manner in which it was played all along. When we arrived at the table, there was a large raise in front of Tony but Rainer Kempe has pushed all-in from the bb, obviously pretty sure that Gameboy had nothing.
Tony agonized over the decision for a good 2 minutes… and eventually made the call.
Tony: 
Rainer: 
The call was good! Or, at least not bad, which is pretty much the definition of good in a spot like that.
GameBoy got up on his chair and looked down on the table – at least until he was asked to get off the furniture…
And then the board didn’t cooperate – the flop came out 
to move Rainer into the lead with his pair, and the 
and 
didn’t fix the problem for GameBoy.
18th place: Tony Vi Thanh To, $22,290

It’s truly amazing that Tony To has any chips at all, let alone enough to run a big river bluff – but when we arrived at the table with 
already dealt, GameBoy was considering his action, playing out of position against Brian Altman. Eventually he confidently exclaimed, “four hundred and fifty K” and pushed out 4 stacks of blues with 2 greys on top.
Brian immediately counted out the chips required to call, and found that he would have under 100K left if he lost… and then after a gut-check he made the call and showed his for Aces up – which was good against Tony’s 
.
Jason Mann raised from the hijack to 135K and Brian Altman 3-bet all-in from the cutoff. The blinds folded and Jason asked for confirmation of the amount: 412K total. Jason counted out the chips needed to call and then rearranged the margins of his stack a couple of times… and made the call.

Community cards: 
The board didn’t bail Jason out and Brian scored the full double up.
Azim “Sammy” Popatia and Mads Fournaise were eliminated early in level 24, and with the field down to 18 players there has been a full seating redraw.
A word on the schedule – play will continue to the end of the current level and then the remaining players will bag up their chips to return for Day 4. On Day 4, play will continue until a hard stop at 6 players remaining (TV final table).
Table 32
Table 40
If you’ve been hanging around the tournament hall here at Playground Poker Club in the past two days, you may have heard the now famous line by Tony “GameBoy” To – “GameBoy is Back!”.
Well, this time, “GameBoy” really is back! After losing a huge pot worth ~1.1 million a few orbits ago to table opponent Craig Stewart, Tony was left with only 9,000 in chips, which was not even enough to post a small blind, and only 3 times the ante at the time. After a few successful double-ups, he quickly found himself north of 300,000.
Just before the tournament went on break moments ago, Tony was facing a raise from Kyle Bowker and a 3bet from Trevor Delaney when he decided to move his 306,000 stack in from the small blind. Kyle then announced his all-in, and Trevor backed out of the hand.
Tony “Game Boy”:
Kyle: 
Tony smashed the 
board to score more than a double up, exclaiming “Game Boy is back!”, triggering a laugh from the crowd gathered around the table. He now sits on 740,000 going into level 24, as Kyle was crippled to 1 big blind.
Tony is on the run for his second victory in this Playground Poker Fall Classic, as he took down Event 5 – $1,000 + $100 Deepstack – a few days ago for $46,180.
