The tournament is now down to 36 players remaining, and play now proceeds on 4 tables. From here on out, each time that we lose a table in the tournament there will be a full random seating redraw. The next redraw will be at 27 players remaining, and of course tournament staff will keep the tables balanced as necessary.

We’ll have photos and a list of the most recent eliminations shortly.

As predicted, things have moved very quickly to start the day. In the first hand played we caught one elimination and one double up.

Levon Dedeyan was eliminated from the bb after calling Logan Dunn’s all in bet from utg. Ivan Mamuzic tanked for a while before folding – but he found the fold and Levon called off the rest of his chips with a weak Ace compared with Logan’s KQoff. Logan outdrew Levon on the flop and his pair held up to eliminate the local player.

One table over, Vlad Faubert went all in from middle position for just under 50K and Guillaume “GRiver” Rivet called from the big blind. Both players had strong hands. Vlad held and Guillaume was a the underdog with . Vlad’s Aces held up for the double through GRiver on the board.

UPDATE:

Vlad’s double still left him short and he was eliminated shortly following to exit in 43rd place.

The remaining 45 players in the partypoker.net WPT Canadian Spring Championship are making their way into the Tournament Hall, ready to resume action in this $3,200 + $300 WPT Tour event. Last night’s last elimination was also the player on the bubble, so everyone starting today is officially “in the money”!

Ari Engel is the big chip leader at this stage in the event, with a 200,000 chip cushion between he and Trevor Delaney in 2nd place.

There are also 6 players starting today with under 70,000 in chips – which is to say, less than 10 BB – so action should be hot right off the bat.

Play will continue today for 4 90-minute levels today. Good luck to all who remain in the event!

This is the official seating chart for Day 3 of the partypoker.net WPT Canadian Spring Championship, Event 10 in the Playground Poker Spring Classic.

151 players started play on Day 2 in level 11 and play continued through 8 levels. The bubble (45 places pay in the event) was reached just as scheduled end of day was reached, and everyone who returns for Day 3 is in the money in the tournament. Play resumes at 12pm tomorrow, Monday May 4th.
