The remaining players in the WPT Montreal 6-Max event are now in the money. It has taken just under 7 and a half hours to whittle the field down to 30 players, at which point play became hand-for-hand until the player in 30th place was eliminated. This turned out to be Richard Singh on table 73, who is the unfortunate “bubble player” in the event.
The rest of the players are all in the money! The minimum cash is $900 – but the prizes go all the way up to $26,500!
Congratulations!
The High Roller is down to heads-up play, with Ajay Chabra and Tommy Nguyen ready to battle for the title. The winner is set to take home $270,000 along with the champion’s trophy, while second place will earn a consolation prize of $182,500.
Ajay begins with the slight chip lead, holding 1,550,000 versus the 1,360,000 of Tommy. With a 70BB average stack this tournament can swing in either direction.
Congratulations on your deep runs, and best of luck!
Joey Weissman, the short-stack in 3-way action, managed to find a double-up through Ajay Chabra before moving all-in again pre-flop. His button-shove was looked up by Ajay from the small blind, and Tommy Nguyen let him opponents duel it out.
