Day 1A of the WPT Montreal Main Event broke the ice yesterday in the $5,000 + $300 tourney, and today the event moves to Day 1B – the 2nd of 3 Live starting flights in the tournament. If history is any guide, today’s flight should be significantly larger than yesterday’s field, as new players join and unsuccessful Day 1A or Online Day 1 players take another shot at a piece of the $5,000,000 guarantee.
Each Day 1 flight permits a single re-entry until the end of play on Day 1. Players will start with 40,000 in chips and play through 8 60-minute levels. Everyone who makes it through to the end will bag up chips to take to Day 2. Players who don’t feel they’ve bagged enough chips to make a solid run through Day 2 may also give it another try – players will start Day 2 with the largest stack they manage to build through all of the Day 1s. And players who are still not happy with their stack after their Day 1 are welcome to come out for Day 2 – entry and re-entry is available not only on Day 1s, but through to the beginning of level 11 on Day 2 as well.
Tournament staff have just made their introductory announcements and cards are now in the air.
