    As the number of remaining players is going down, Joshua Abiscott helped bringing this number down by 2. In a three way all-in before the flop hand with Michael Ferrer and Kurtis Brooks, Abiscott’s Jack of Clubs Jack of Spades held through.

    Board: Queen of Clubs King of Diamonds 8 of Hearts Queen of Diamonds 2 of Spades

    Ferrer: Ace of Clubs 2 of Clubs

    As usual, on a Day 2, small stacks are going to start making moves fast and very early in the day. Sometimes it’ll work and the player will double up or collect the blinds and ante, but other times they’ll make the move at a bad moment and go against a better hand and lose. That’s what happened to Sebastien Soares when, first to act before the flop, he pushed all-in. He got one caller, Samuel Gagnon.

    Soares: Ace of Clubs King of Clubs

    Gagnon: 10 of Hearts 10 of Clubs

    Board: 9 of Spades 5 of Spades 3 of Clubs 10 of Diamonds 3 of Spades

    While Gagnon’s pocket pair was enough to make him collect Soares’s stack, he still managed to hit a set on the turn and a full house on the river.

     

     

    Taylor Black leads the 9 finalists into Day 5

    2018/05/02 - 1:16 by Jôle Simard

    Day 4 started with 51 players, and played down to just 9 finalists. Some of the biggest names in poker were at the tables, all battling for the huge final table payouts, including three 7-figure amounts.

    Poker superstar Antonio Esfandiari played in Day 4, but for no longer than a few minutes. His short stack went in very early and lost a flip. Many very strong locals did their best to survive Day 4. Jason Duval was seen making a great river call with ace high. Lucas Drolet was enjoying a top stack for a while, but suffered a few brutal losses and did not make it. Ema Zajmovic, despite making an impressive comeback from less than one blind, also fell before the gong. Guillaume Nolet and Charles La Boissonnière will be representing the locals on Day 5.

    It was a 12-hour day for our 9 finalists, and they now have less than 12 hours before play resumes on Day 5. Playing for such high prizes can be unnerving, and doing it for 12 hours exhausting. This is where physical form, good nutrition, and big-money experience become relevant. Some would say that Darryll Fish has the biggest edge in that department, but most of these players are so good that stack size and luck should be stronger deciding factors.

    Join us tomorrow for the conclusion of the MILLIONS North America with Day 5 of the Main Event, Day 2 of the Turbo and Day 3 of the Finale.

    18 to return for Day 3

    2018/05/02 - 0:21 by Shawn McCrory

    Day 2 of the MILLIONS Finale brought 55 new entries into the field to bring the total up to 126 before the late registration and re-entry period closed at the end of level 12. Many players took advantage of the slow structure and unlimited re-entries to take a few shots at the $1,260,000 prize pool. This field had no shortage of star power with the likes of Martin Jacobson, Ami Alibay, Roberto Romanello, Darren Elias, Kristen Bicknell and Jeff Gross each taking a shot at the Finale.

    Day 2 was characterized by deep stacks and sharp, disciplined play from all involved. We saw numerous examples of four, five and even six-bets, as the players used the huge number of blinds at their disposal to try to instill fear in their opponents. But the world-class players in this field are not the type to be intimidated, and there was no shortage of bluff-catching and thin calls.

    The chip leader to start the day, Philippe D’auteuil, maintained one of the larger stacks in play for a good portion of the day and will remain a force to contend with on Day 3. Chance Kornuth climbed steadily up the leaderboard throughout the day to hold the chip lead for much of the late stages.

    Setna bags the lead

    2018/05/01 - 21:47 by Playground Poker

    The last Day 1 of the Turbo has come to an end, and players just bagged their chips for Day 2. A total of 140 players have made it through Day 1, 55 on Day 1A and 85 on Day 1B, and will play tomorrow until one player is crowned champion. Today, 462 entries joined the tourney, including 114 re-entries for a total of 849 for the 2 starting flights combined.

    Just like every turbo tournament, play was very aggressive, allowing players to build some solid stacks right from the beginning. There was a race for the lead throughout the entire tournament between Brian Morgan, Jimmy Setna and Andrew Neeme, but at the end of level 17, Setna was the one who bagged the most chips, taking 18,425,000 to Day 2.

    A complete list of players and chip counts will be posted shortly here in the results section.

    Day 2 will start tomorrow at noon, when all of our qualifiers merge and battle it out until the end.

    See you there!
