It’s almost time for the second of three flights to begin of the Pokerstars Canada Cup Main Event here at Playground Poker Club, and 129 players took their seats yesterday in Day 1a to participate in this tournament that features a $2 million guaranteed prizepool!
A few poker icons have already made their appearance in this series so far, such as former world champion Jonathan Duhamel, #1 all-time on the money list Antonio Esfandiari, Pokerstars pro Marc-André Ladouceur, Michael Watson, Jeffrey Dale Gross, the Greenwood brothers – Lucas and Sam, David Yan, Yann Dion, to name a few. Many local Québec poker pros have also made their way over the poker club to take a chance at what will be a very impressive top prize.
The cards will be in the air in just under 15 minutes, and players are already streaming in to take their seats for this Day 1b of the Main Event.
Here’s a look at what we found on our Twitter feed this morning.
