Level 11 is almost complete here in Day 1d of the Strike Out Cancer Charity Event, and the field is down to 111 players. For the moment, it is Judy Miller who has the overwhelming chiplead of the night, as she holds around 240,000 in chips. Ramon de la Cruz and Alexandre Lajoie are also atop the leaderboard, as they are both approaching the 200,000 mark.

Play will continue for a little more than an hour before the remaining players bag their chips for Day 2. Shortly after the conclusion of this flight, we will publish the full list of player-reported chip counts from all four flights, as well as the seating arrangements for Day 2 tomorrow, which will begin at 12:00pm.

Only a handful of players have emerged from the field in these first 4 levels of play, and Luc Fournier is currently in the drivers seat. The night is still young however, and anyone still holding chips has the opportunity to thrive in this opening event of the Montréal Poker Expo.

A number of players have recently joined us here in Day 1d of Event 1 of the Montréal Poker Expo, and attendance is now up to 282 for this final flight. Late registration is still open for about an hour or so, making this the last chance to participate in this event hosting over 1,100 players.

After three action packed flights, where we saw a combined total of 889 entries, only one chance remains for players to try and qualify for Day 2 of the kickoff event of the Montréal Poker Expo. This $135 + $25 Strike Out Cancer Charity Event has already surpassed its $100,000 guarantee, and we can only expect it to grow with this fourth and final flight.

Cards are in the air at 7:30pm sharp, however players will have until roughly 9:40pm to register, as the registration period will remain open through until the end of the first break.

Players who have made their seats for Day 2 will return tomorrow, Sunday August 23rd, at 12:00pm.
