The Grand Prix Canada continues to pick up speed this afternoon with another popular starting flight. Day 1G got underway at noon, collecting 71 entries after less than an hour of play. There have already been three re-entries, a sign that there will be lots of chips in play by the time the late registration and re-entry period ends at 5:30pm.

As with all other starting flights for the Grand Prix Canada, players will start with 100,000 in chips for an afternoon of 10-handed play. Day 1G will play 30-minute levels until one in seven entries remain, at which point the players will be in the money and bag their chips for Day 2.

The Grand Prix Canada is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted until the end of the late registration period on each Day 1. Re-entry is permitted for any player that loses all their chips or chooses to forfeit their stack. A player may play additional Day 1s even if they have survived a previous Day 1 with chips. Players who qualify for Day 2 more than once will resume play on Day 2 with their largest qualifying stack; all other qualifying stacks will be forfeited. Players would, however, retain the associated cash prize for every forfeited stack. The combined Day 1 results can be found here.

Good luck to all!
