Players have taken their seats and the opening remarks have been made and without any further ado, cards are in the air for Event 6 of the PokerStars Canada Cup, the $3000 + $300 Main Event.
The schedule for the day is to play 10 levels of 60 minutes each, with breaks after every second level and a 45-minute dinner break after level 6. Late registration is open until the end of this dinner break, so there’s lots of time for players to get out to Playground and jump in the event.
As the tournament was starting we looked around the room for some well-known names and there were more than a few. Some of the notable players in the field so far:
- Team PokerStars pro Jonathan Duhamel
- Two of the three poker-playing Greenwood brothers, Sam and Lucas
- recent WPT Champion Eric Afriat
- Quebec’s online and live phenom, Yann Dion
- Players Club member Chris “d0r1t0s” McClung
- Playground Poker Event legend Sylvain Siebert
So far there are 100 players in the event but with 6 levels of late reg (and over 220 satellite winners to accommodate) that number is sure to grow considerably for this first flight of the Main Event.
