LIVE EVENTS

Day 1A of the Grand Prix Canada has come to an exciting close. There was a rush of participants as soon as the day started and by the time play reached level three entries had already doubled. There were a total of 214 entries and 65 re-entries all battling for a spot in the top 31.

Play throughout the day was steady, with no massive blowouts but the lead changed as time progressed. The last few levels played out as expected, players with smaller stacks took chances and tried to double up, some were successful, some were not.

After 18 levels of play, Abram Logasy was able to maintain his lead with 1,900,000 in chips. Albert Nguyen climbed into second spot with an impressive stack of 66 blinds.

The final 31 players will advance to Day 2 on Sunday, December 15 at 1:00pm.

Here are the top stacks from Day 1A:

• Abram Logasy – 1,900,000
• Albert Nguyen – 1,651,000
• Robert Gariepy – 1,629,000
• Simon Pier Belair-Grondin – 1,550,000
• Ricky Campanelli – 1,375,000

Congratulations!

51 players remain as they battle it out for a spot in the final 31. Abram Logasy takes a big lead with a stack of over 130 blinds. Marcel Deschamps moved into second after winning a few big hands.

The tension is rising as players are hoping to hang on and qualify for Day 2.

Late registration has now closed after an exciting day with a total of 214 entries and 65 re-entries. Each Day 1 event plays until the number of remaining players has been reduced to 1 in 7 entries. Today’s numbers have determined the top 31 players are in the money and will qualify for Day 2 on Sunday, December 15 at 1:00pm.

77 players remain as the clock runs down on level 11. Here’s a look at some recent action.

The players are back after the second break and things are heating up as the late registration and re-entry period is coming to an end. Stephane Dillaire has moved to the top spot with a stack of almost quadruple the chip average. Abram Logasy finds himself in second with a comfortable stack of 218 blinds.

There has been a total of 206 entries thus far but the number is expected to grow before late registration closes in 30 minutes at 5:30pm.

Play is now in level 7 with 111 players currently in the field. Some players are applying an aggressive approach, using their big stacks to pressure opponents at every opportunity. 

Here is a look at some recent action.

Play has resumed after the first break into level 5. Entries have reached 167 and counting, a figure helped along by 28 re-entries. Glenn Millar is currently in the lead with a stack of 256 blinds or 410,000 in chips. Miguel Goncalo is not far behind in second after winning a few big hands.

The field continues to grow as there are still three hours left for late registration and re-entry.

Day 1A is off to a flying start. As the clock runs down on level 3, the room has filled with new participants and entries have doubled since level 1. There is still plenty of time to enter as late registration will close at 5:30pm, before the beginning of level 11.

Here’s a look at some early action.

Day One of the Grand Prix Canada has begun! There are 19 starting flights for this exciting nine day event presented by partypoker LIVE with a guaranteed prize pool of over $500,000.

The $200 + $20 Grand Prix Canada will have players starting with 100,000 in chips and play through 30-minute levels. This is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted until the beginning of Level 11 on each Day 1. The field will play 10-handed until the number of remaining players has been reduced to 1 in 7 entries, at which point the money will be reached. Day 2 starts at the level in progress when the earliest finishing Day 1 concluded and plays until the field is reduced to 16 players. The finals on Day 3 will play until there is a winner.

A player may enter 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.

Good luck to all players!!
