With late registration now closed, the story for Day 1D is set – with 131 players registered, action will continue until the final 14 players remain. The surviving players will then bag and tag their chips onto Day 2, and collect a $400 cash prize along the way (with much more up for grabs in Days 2 and 3!).
Michel Leblanc has leaped up above 100K in just 6 levels of play, and his 102,400 stack currently tops the Day 1D field at this first break of the night. Haguy Cohen sits in second place with 90,525, while Kristopher Chaykowski rounds the top 3 with a stack of 80,550.
Players who have had the misfortune of being eliminated from play still have several chances to try and bag a stack onto Day 2, as more starting flights are scheduled over the next few days. For a complete list of starting flights, visit the information page for the Grand Prix Canada.
