The tournament director and the three players who registered have jointly decided to put the cards in the air and get the tournament started. Maria Ho was about to register but in the end, she said that she’s worried the players may start drinking and instead of playing the Super High Roller, she decided to register for the $1000 + $100 Montreal Open (Event #2). Chatting with Niall Farrell earlier on, he assured me that although he had a few pints at the table last night in the $1000 + $100 Montreal Open, tonight in the Super High Roller he won’t be looking to tie one on.

Here is a littler info about the three entrants to the $25,000 + $300 Super High Roller.
