There have been a great deal of starting flights for the $200 + $20 Grand Prix Canada event here at Playground so far, during this, the ninth anniversary of the poker club’s opening. Including online Day 1s, today’s Day 1L marks the seventeenth Day 1 flight, with two final Day 1 flights taking place later today at 4:00PM and 7:30PM.

With that many entries, tomorrow’s Day 2 is bound to be quite a competitive affair. Wondering where you stack up against the players who have come before you and already qualified for Day 2? Check out our results page for more information.

At the top of the pile is an online qualifier from Day 1B, Henry Nathan John. His chip stack of three million chips is the largest by far, with a further six players having managed to accumulate more than two million chips. If you want to be in the top one hundred players by chip stack, you’ll need to hold a minimum of 750,000 chips in front of you by the end of the day.

And for those who find themselves up against the ropes in the last minutes of the tournament, perhaps use this next statistic for inspiration. The smallest stack that managed to qualify for Day 2 so far had only 60,000 chips left when time expired – less than the original starting stack! So while this player has the largest hill to climb on his way to a tournament win, he’s still got a chip and a chair, as they say, so the dream is still alive!

Good luck to all of our competitors as they make their push to qualification.
