The first 4 levels of play are nearly complete, and players will enjoy a short 15-minute break before resuming action in level 5. We will take this time to publish our first leaderboard of the night, highlighting the current top stacks in play.

Photographs from levels 3-4:

Although the number is not quite as high as this afternoon’s monstrous 569 entry field, this evening’s flight is still boasting an impressive count, with now 230 entries registered here in level 3. Players still have over 4 hours to enter (or re-enter), and we can therefore expect this number to remain on a steady climb as the evening rolls on.

Photographs from level 2:

The first level has just been completed in Day 1F, and registration has been on a steady climb since the start of the flight, with now 180 players seated at the felts searching for a Day 2 bag.

A handful notables have been spotted in the field, including the likes of Victor Ramdin, Patrick Braga, Tony “GameBoy” To, and Griffin Benger, to name a few.

Registration will remain open until 11:30pm tonight, with a single re-entry permitted for those unfortunate enough to get felted during the first 10 levels of play.

Photographs from level 1:

After a massive turnout for Day 1E today, the stage is now set for the penultimate flight to the WPT500 – Day 1F. Cards will be in the air at 6pm sharp, with late registration permitted until the start of level 11. Players are allowed a single re-entry per flight.

This kickoff event in the WPT Montreal 2018 has already seen a combined total of 1,855 entries thus far, with two more flights to go including tonight. The $1,000,000 guarantee will likely be shattered tonight, as the board already shows over 75 players registered before the start of the flight.

After tonight’s flight, players will have a final chance to find a bag for Day 2, with a turbo flight scheduled at 10am tomorrow. This last flight is set to conclude leading into the Day 2 start at 3pm.

See you on the felts!
