    Event 10 is back

    Tournament:
  • Level: 13
  • Small Blind: 1K
  • Big Blind: 2K
  • Ante: 300
  • Chip Average: 103.5K
  • Remaining: 36
  • Entries: 149


    • There are 36 players left in Event 10 and they have unbagged their chips and play has just resumed in the event.

    The remaining field is pretty impressive overall. There’s a November Niner still in the action (Marc-Etienne McLaughlin), several past Playground Poker side-event final table-ists (Alexender Wong, Geoffrey Robert McNeely, Bill Kontaratos, Jeff Cote), Players Club members Philippe Plouffe and Chris McClung, and talented Playground regulars like Carlo Nini, Steve Toulch (famous for his banter with Scotty Nguyen in the WSOP broadcasts a few years back) and quite a few more players who are a threat to go all the way.

    Good luck!

    Next up – Event 10

    2014/05/26 12:54pm by

    The next event in the PokerStars Canada Cup is Event 10 a $1,000 + $100 No Limit Hold’em Freezeout that is set to begin at 1pm. The event is a freezeout with a single Day 1. There has been some bridge work on the main link between Kahnawake and central Montreal which has caused some traffic tie-ups, so the TD has delayed the beginning of the tournament for a half hour.

    Players are starting to come together in the tournament hall and we’ll start our coverage as soon as the event is underway.
