Day 2 of the Main Event of the PokerStars Canada Cup has been completed and there are 72 players left with chips who will return for Day 3 tomorrow. At the outset of today’s play the Tournament Director announced a slight modification to the published tournament schedule – today’s play would continue either a) until the players reached the money at 72 players remaining or b) until the end of the 10th level of the day, whichever came first.
The bubble came (and went) while the tournament was in Level 17, and when the bubble player was eliminated, play stopped and all 72 players in the money bagged their chips to return tomorrow, when play will resume at 11am.
With a new day comes a new random seating draw. Play will resume in the event with players seated according to this chart. Click on a column heading to re-order the table.
