The players in Day 1E are on a break, and following this break registration will be closed – for this flight and for the entire WPTDeepStacks event.
The leaders going into the final 3 levels of this Turbo flight are mostly hovering around the 100K mark – except for Timothy Banks, who has amassed almost 150K!
| First Name | Prénom | Last Name | Nom | Stack | Tapis |
|---|---|---|
| Timothy | Banks | 142,800 |
| Thanh | Phu | 104,500 |
| Daniel | Andrei | 97,600 |
| Foad | Larki | 90,400 |
The tournament hasn’t been a break during which we could get a complete picture of the current leaderboard, but a survey of the tables in play suggests that Matt Durand is the current chip leader with a stack approaching 80K so far. There are many others who have built up healthy stacks as well, and the nature of such a Turbo flight is that the volatility increases as players get closer to the end of late registration.
Here are a few photographs of the action in Day 1E of the WPTDeepStacks. There are currently 67 entries in the event including 2 re-entries. Play is already into level 4 in the tournament.
Play has now begun in Day 1E of the WPTDeepStacks event, and just a few minutes in to level 1 there are 37 entries at the tables – and climbing. This Turbo flight will effectively serve two roles in the tournament – first, to keep growing the prize pool that players will be competing for in the event, and to give players a final chance to qualify for Day 2, set to begin at 3:00pm.
Good luck to everyone playing this morning!
The final starting flight in the $1,500 + $150 WPTDeepStacks event in the 2018 WPT Montreal Festival is set to begin at 10:00am, just minutes from now. The event has already seen 775 entries join the fray through the first 4 Day 1s – easily surpassing the guarantee – which means that every single buy-in today will simply add money to the prize pool.
The Turbo flight will play through the same number of levels as the “regular” flights – 12 – and will start with the same 30,000 starting stack. However, each level will be just 15 minutes in length, and there will be a single break following level 9. Registration will close at the end of this break – until that time, players are permitted one entry and one re-entry.
There are already 229 players qualified for Day 2 in the event, which will get underway at 3:00pm this afternoon. A seating draw will be made available as soon as it is available.
Good luck to everyone playing today.
After twelve 40-minute rounds, today’s WPTDeepStacks flight – Day 1D – is in the books. And after eight full hours of poker action, the player with the most chips is Montreal’s own Laurence Grondin, bagging an impressive 327,000 chips. Congratulations!
Other notable chip leaders include Griffin Benger with 242,500 chips and Dean Murphy, with 230,000 chips. Indeed, there were another several players with more than 175,000 chips each, and the full list of chips leaders will be made available shortly.
In the end, today’s field of 251 entries (including 38 re-entries) was whittled down to only 71. All of those 71 players will join the other four groups of Day 1 survivors on Day 2, which begins at 3pm tomorrow, Saturday November 3rd.
And don’t forget, one of those four flights has yet to be played! Starting at 10am tomorrow (Saturday November 3rd), the final $1500 + $150 Turbo WPTDeepStacks flight will commence. So if you want a shot at collecting part of the guaranteed $1,000,000 prize pool, get down here bright and early and get started!
