Play has concluded for Day 4 of the WPT Canadian Spring Championship as the field was whittled down from 16 to start the day to the 6 players remaining in contention for the biggest prizes in the event!
Play will resume tomorrow – May 5th 2016 – at 12:00pm in level 26 (blinds 20K/40K/a5K) with most of the level left to play before blinds go up. Everyone still in the field is guaranteed to win a minimum of $51,400.00 – and the top prize is $256,390.00 – so there’s still a ton to play for tomorrow!
First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Seat | Siège | Stack | Tapis |
---|---|---|---|
Seth | Davies | Seat 1 | 2,170,000 |
Tony | Dunst | Seat 2 | 1,730,000 |
Joel | Miller | Seat 3 | 1,285,000 |
Ruben | Perceval | Seat 4 | 4,395,000 |
Guillaume | Nolet | Seat 5 | 1,125,000 |
Thomas | Taylor | Seat 6 | 1,760,000 |
The chip leader to start the day will be Playground regular Ruben Perceval, who will begin with 4.395M in tournament chips – more than twice as much as his nearest competitor – but the table features a lot of very talented players, so even his chip advantage will in no way make a victory “easy” for Ruben.
Second in chips is Seth Davies, known to many as Setherson2, who is a player with both live and online experience and who Montreal online master Carter Swidler certified as “really really good” in a conversation the other day. He’s a (recent) past SCOOP champion and has published live results dating back to 2010.
Third in chips will be Thomas Taylor, a player coming off a WSOP-C side event victory here in Montreal just a week ago and whose poker friends include all-world pro Mike Leah, among others. Thomas is also an accomplished online player and brings a wealth of experience to the table.
Fourth – less than 1bb behind Thomas – will be Tony Dunst, who is only one of the most recognizable names (and faces) in poker. As a partypoker Ambassador, TV analyst, Raw Deal host and the usual live stream commentator for WPT Events, millions of poker fans know and appreciate Tony’s hard work and insightful comments about the game. But never let it be forgotten that Tony is already a WPT Champion and has scores of live cashes – including quite a few victories – going back over a decade!
Fifth in chips to start the day is Joel Miller, who is a bit of a wild card in the field. Joel has no published live or online cashes – but his play as the tournament has gotten deeper shows that he’s patient and has a solid understanding of the game at this level. Joel won a satellite league among friends to gain his entry in the event, and will have some railbirds on hand tomorrow.
The “small” stack to start the day – though not that small – is Guillaume Nolet, another experienced player who is actually a repeat visitor to a WPT Final Table hosted at Playground Poker Club. Guillaume was 6th in the 2014 WPT Montreal for the biggest live cash of his career. Where he really shines, however, is online – Guillaume was the winner of last years’s WCOOP Main Event for a payday of greater than US$1M.
