Players are back from their first break of the day and are now playing in level 4 (blinds 100/200/a25). Tournament staff is starting to work through the alternates list and so far there are 523 players in the event. Of those who started, 488 are still playing today.

Here are some shots of the action early in Day 1c.

500 players have taken their seats – well, there are a few stragglers yet to appear – for Day 1c of the Full Tilt Poker Montreal Festival Main Event.

Day 1c will get underway in just 15 minutes. This third of three starting days in the Full Tilt Poker Montreal Festival $1000 + $100 Main Event is already the busiest of them all – the 500 player capacity was reached at 3am this morning and ever since an alternates list has been filling up – and filling up fast.

Good luck to everyone who is playing today. We’ll be posting updates throughout the day.

Day 1c – which starts tomorrow (Sunday) at noon – is looking like it’s going to be a sellout. As of this moment, there are over 370 tickets sold (in customers’ hands), another 40 sold with payment confirmed, and another 12 seats that will be awarded in tonight’s satellite. The implication of these numbers is that the capacity of 500 should be reached by the time Day 1c starts.

Alternates will be accepted, so even if it does sell out early many additional players will be able to enter the event – but if you want to ensure that you’ll have a spot tomorrow, the best way to do that is to get to Playground early tomorrow morning or even tonight. Remember, we’re open 24 hours a day!
