Many of the players registering late for today’s Day 1a of the Main Event are stronger, more experienced players. Two more have just joined the action – Carter Swidler and Amir Babakhani.
Amir is best known for having won the first WPT Canadian Spring Championship here at Playground Poker Club in 2013, but he also final tabled the WPT Montreal the following year and came 9th in the WPT World Championship in 2013.
Carter’s most recent success was a very deep run in the 2015 PCA Main Event in the Bahamas – while simultaneously final tabling the Sunday Supersonic on Pokerstars!
