Play is set to resume on Day 2 of Event 1 in the Montréal Poker Expo. The Strike Out Cancer event has been a tremendous success, with 1,186 entries in total and 290 of those players still alive in the tournament.
They’re playing for a share of a huge $155,307.00 prize pool. 108 positions pay, so the money bubble will be reached at some point towards the end of the afternoon. We expect the eliminations to begin very quickly at the beginning of today’s action but as the players settle in and as the bubble approaches, the pace of play will most likely slow down a little bit.
The chip leader to start the day is Judy L Miller, who managed to accumulate over 300K in tournament chips over the 13 Day 1 levels that were played. There are just 6 more players with over 200K in chips, so there is a very small group entering the day with a clear advantage over the field.
The players are now taking their seats and the TD has announced that play will resume in 5 minutes. Good luck to everyone still in the tournament!
