Day 3 in Pictures

The Winner of Event 6…
2013/09/25 9:31pm by
…is Lambros Xerakias, fondly known to almost everyone at the Club as “Spikey”.
When the final table came together Lambros was among the leaders – but then he eliminated 3 or 4 players in a row (and in a short period of time) to become the massive chip leader.
Following this, however, he was unfortunate to double up two opponents even though he was clearly ahead both times. Then the tourney settled in for a long session 4-handed. Eventually Dominic Dufour was eliminated, and the players continued for another two or three levels 3-handed.
Fabio Ribeiro was the next to go, but only after the players came to a very small deal for the prize money. The players agreed to take $100 from the 1st-place prize and $50 from the 2nd-place prize and add it to the prize money for 3rd – bringing the prize for 3rd up to $1,225 – which is what Fabio took home for his work today.
Heads up play didn’t last very long, and eventually Lambros triumphed over the strong play of Eric Gravel (2nd, $1,360) to take the trophy and the 1st place prize ($1,779).
Down to 26
2013/09/25 8:19pm by
Event1 has quickly dropped to 26 players who are playing level 28 (blinds 30K/60K/a10K) on three tables.
Level 1 Coming to a Close
2013/09/25 8:16pm by
Players are almost through level 1 of tonight’s Deepstack Turbo (Event 7) and there are already 130 players at the tables and over $3K up top. There’s still time to late register – over an hour left, in fact, so there’s still time to jump in the action.
Cards are in the air!

The 3rd and final day of Event 1 of the Full Tilt Montreal Festival is underway! Just 31 players remain on 4 tables. One table will break as soon as 4 more players are eliminated, and there will be full redraw at 18 players remaining.
