With 50K in chips in his stack, Nimer Ltaif pushed all-in with a pair of 8s, getting an immediate call from the player in the bb who held pocket Aces. When another Ace appeared on the flop, Nimer rose to go and collect his prize coupon at the tournament desk.
7th place: Nimer Ltaif – $3,290
8th place: Felix Sides – $2,470
The final table is barely 5 minutes old and there have already been two eliminations, including Patrick Mailloux.
Patrick was in the bb and the table folded around to James Hugues-Scavone in the sb. James shoved, Patrick called and the showdown was on. It was high card King for James vs a Jack for Patrick, and when the board bricked out for both players, the King took the hand and Patrick was eliminated in 9th place.
9th place: Patrick Mailloux – $1,860
A player has been all-in practically every hand on one of the two remaining tables as the chip average is just about 18bb. The following players have all been eliminated in the past several minutes: Justin Leeson, Malawai Hoyer, Miltiadis Mavrigiannakis, Raffi Ghazarian, Jonathan C, and Dov Amzallag.
10th place: Dov Amzallag, $1,400
11th place: Jonathan C, $1,400
12th place: Raffi ¨King Fish¨ Ghazarian, $1,300
13th place: Miltiadis Mavrigiannakis, $1,300
14th place: Malawai Hoyer, $1,200
15th place: Justin Leeson, $1,200
The reaction of the players following the hand got our attention as a huge hand just played out with the river bringing the final result. We have pieced together what happened…
Jason Clarke was all-in for about 40K in chips, and had been called by Jonathan C.
Jason: 
Jonathan C: 
Community cards: 
Action continues in the $550 Freeze, which is now down to 6 tables remaining. There will be a break in 30 minutes when tournament staff will remove the T100 chips from play and we’ll update the leaderboard at that time.

Jason Lavallée climbed into second place in the late stages of the day and bagged 716,000 chips, while David Quang rounds the top 3 and will return with 702,000 tomorrow.
In a few minutes we will publish the full list of player-reported chip counts, as well as the new seating draw for tomorrow’s Day 3.

Photographs from the last level of play:
Registration is now closed and there are 161 players in tonight’s $500 + $50 Freeze – Event 13 in the Playground Poker Spring Classic presented by partypoker.net. Players have returned from their first break of the night and we were able to find a few of the early chop leaders – in fact, it’s a little congested at the top of the leaderboard!
With a current tournament chip average just over 30K, there are 6 players with more than double that – and less than 10K separating the top 6.
A few quick eliminations have taken place in the minutes following the money-bubble.
We lost Daniel Suied, who shoved for 15bb with 
and ran into the 
of Darryll Fish.
Andrew Frankenberger flopped three-of-a-kind, as did Guillaume Nolet, however Guillaume’s kicker showed up on the running cards to give him a full-house for the win.
Ari Engel was also knocked out as he shoved a short stack with a pocket pair of 4s, and ran into pocket Aces and pocket Kings.
The tournament director has just announced the final 6 hands of play for the day, and once they have been completed on all the tables the WPT CSC will go on break until tomorrow.
Bust ITM in 48th place @WPT @PlaygroundPoker . KQ<Q3 (!!) on QQ8A3. Guess I should have folded the river lol

Darryll Fish
2015 WPT Montreal runner-up Darryll Fish has just made 53 players very happy, as he knocked out Anthony O’Hagan in 55th place to bring the WPT Canadian Spring Classic into the money! The chips all went into the middle preflop, and when nothing was left to wager, Darryll quickly turned over his 
, which had no trouble defeating the 
of his adversary.
Day 2 will come to a close once the time runs out in the current level, in just under 40 minutes of play. Players still in at that point will bag their chips for Day 3 tomorrow, which will resume in level 19 – 4K / 8K / a1K.
Congratulations to the players who have made the money!
Darryll Fish
