Play has just resumed in level nine of Day 1G, following the first break of the day and the end of the late registration period. This turbo flight drew 189 entries, including 28 re-entries, to bring the total number for the Montreal Open up to 1,534.

There are now 151 players remaining in Day 1G, each racing to collect as many chips as possible before Day 2 starts this afternoon. The current chip leader, Julio Cacoilo, nearly quadrupled his starting stack in the first two hours of play. Many more players managed to more than double up since the start of the action, but it is a turbo flight, after all, so things could change very quickly.
