Tournament:
  • Level: 14
  • Small Blind: 1.2K
  • Big Blind: 2.4K
  • Ante: 400
  • Chip Average: 85.6K
  • Remaining: 347
  • Entries: 1439


    • The players have taken their seats – all 347 of them (or close, the small stack from last night’s starting flight hasn’t claimed his T1,200 stack) and cards are in the air for Day 2 of Event 1 of the PokerStars Canada Cup.

    Today will be a gruelling day of poker. The event is slated to play through a full 17 levels today. From level 14 to 19 these are 30-minute levels, and from level 20 to 29, 40-minute levels, and from level 30, 50-minute levels. Note that if the event reaches a “clean” point for a break before the 17 levels are played (18 players remaining, for instance) then the Tournament Director is likely to suspend play and bring the remaining players back for Day 3 on Monday.

    By the way, the prize pool information has been published.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Canada Cup – Event 1 Day 2 Seating Assignments

    Tournament:

    Day 1d in Event 1 of the PokerStars Canada Cup concluded at approximately 2:30am this morning. There were a total of 1439 entries over the 4 starting flights and a “raw” total of 354 players survived one of the four starting flights. On Day 1c, however, there were two players who had qualified a second time and on Day 1d there were another 5. Each of these players had their smaller stack removed from the tournament. This leaves a net total of 347 players left in the tournament as it proceeds to Day 2.

    Day 2 action will begin today, May 18th, at 12pm. The following is the official seating chart along with the Day 2 starting stack for every player remaining in the event.

    Second break

    2014/05/17 11:59pm by
    Tournament:
  • Level: 9
  • Small Blind: 400
  • Big Blind: 800

    • We are back from the second break of the night, with play resuming in level 9, and although many players have jumped ahead of the average, no one has really separated him or herself from the field yet. The current chip leader is Yannick Grondin, who holds a stack of nearly 120K, and he is followed closely by a dozen other players all above the 100K mark.

    This was the last break of the night, and after the completion of 5 more 30-minute levels, the tournament will go on break until Day 2 tomorrow afternoon.

    The last flight of Event 1!

    2014/05/17 7:19pm by
    Tournament:

    The fourth and final Day 1 of Event 1 is about to start, and people are lining up at the cashier in order to secure a seat to what is looking to be a full house! The $100K guarantee set by Playground Poker Club has already been surpassed in the first three flights, with a total of 992 entries prior to tonights Day 1d, and we can expect to add another 400 or so entries to that grand total.

    So far 244 players have qualified for Day 2, which will be held here tomorrow, Sunday May 18th, at 12pm. The average stack of the remaining players is just over 80K, and play will resume at level 14 – 1,200/2,400/a400.

    Late registration will remain open for the first 4 levels tonight, so until roughly 9:40pm, but with 254 entries showing on the board 15 minutes prior to the tournament start, we could expect to see the seats fill up rather quickly.

    Good luck to the players in tonights Day 1d!
