Brian Altman continues his deep run in this WPT Canadian Spring Championship, and after finding himself on the losing side of a few pots to start his Day 3, he saw his stack drop to just over 10bb.

Sitting under the gun, he slid forward his last 112,000 chips, and found a call from Khaly Dang in late position. The rest of the table got out of the way as the two took a walk to the flop.

Brian’s pair held on the board to keep him in the running, and his run for a second big event title this week here in Montreal is still alive. In addition to winning the WSOP-Circuit Main Event just 2 days ago, Brian was also part of the WPT Montreal final table last Fall here at Playground Poker Club, placing 4th out of 697 entries.

With 3 more recent eliminations, the field in the WPT Canadian Spring Championship is now down to the final 3 tables, with 27 players remaining.

Doug Hartwick made a deep run in this Main Event, but was eliminated in 30th place.

Jason Fernandes found himself in a tough spot, as all his chips went in the middle on a flop showing . His were the best hand at the time, however Ronald Laplante caught the flush with his as the running cards brought a and a , leading to Jason’s exit in 29th place.

Rodney Ramalho tabled when he called the preflop 3bet all-in of Harpreet Singh Gill, who held , and lost most of his stack on the hand. He was left with 3bb after the hand, and was eliminated on the very next hand, brining the field down to 3 final tables.

There is now a redraw taking place, and below you will find the new seating assignments for the final 27 players:

Amir Babakhani

Three more players have been eliminated in the last few hands. First we lost Robert Williams in 33rd place, and he was followed by chip-leader to start the day Damjan Radanov, who had a rocky Day 3 leading to his elimination.

Next to go was Amir Babakhani, who called a 65K 3bet from Scott James McMorran in the blinds after opening from late position. When the flop brought the , Scott lead for 50K, and Amir moved in for 190K. Scott made a quick call and hands were tabled:

The players have just taken their first break in Day 3 of the WPT Canadian Spring Championship, and we took this time to find out who the big stacks are. The table below represents the chip leaders as play enters level 20.

In the hand before the break, Ruben Perceval eliminated Ivan Fazal Karim to put him amongst the leaders. He raised to 19K from the cutoff, and Ivan followed from the button. On a board, Ruben led for 25K, and then called Ivan’s raise to 75K. When the turn brought and off-suit King, he checked the action to his opponent, who pushed for around 90K. Ruben made the call, and found that his A7 was the best hand, as Ivan tabled a pocket pair of 3s. The river brought no change and Ivan was eliminated in 34th place, collecting $7,900.oo along the way.

Two more players have hit the rail in the WPT Canadian Spring Championship, as Kent Mosur placed 36th and Jeanrene Plante 35th, both collecting $7,900.00.

Jeanrene lost a good part of his stack to Marcello Rosa before finding a small double up versus Damjan Radanov a few hands later (where he flopped a set with versus ). That pot brought him back up to nearly 100K when he decided to open from early position. Jason Lavallee put the pressure on by moving in from the small blind, and Jeanrene went into the tank.

“Ça n’a pas l’aire de te tenter” said Jason while Jeanrene was in the tank.

Eventually though, Jeanrene slid forward his stack and found himself in some trouble.
