LIVE EVENTS

The final starting flight of the Grand Prix Canada started at 10:00pm and in the end, it attracted a total of 124 entries (including 32 re-entries). Frederick Watson took an early lead and by the time that the first break came around, he had already put together a massive stack of 955,000 chips. The players at his table said that he played a lot of hands and he won every hand that he played.

Watson held the lead all night long and when it was all said and done, he bagged 2,320,000 chips, to place him into one of the top spots heading into Day 2. In second was Marc Lavergne bagging 1,452,000 chips, followed by Marc-Andre Peroval who hit an ace on the turn with his ace-queen up against pocket jacks just before the bubble to put him in third place with 1,091,000 chips.

The late registration and re-entry period has now closed and the total entries reached 124 (including 32 re-entries). This means that the tournament has well surpassed the guarantee (the prize pool will be published tomorrow late in the morning).

The top 18 finishers in Day 1J will move forward with their stacks to day 2.

There are now 65 entries in the final starting flight of the Grand Prix Canada with still 90 minutes left to go in the late registration period which closes at 12:45am. The prize pool for this event will be huge, so if you still want to have another shot at fame and fortune, come join in the action now!

The last starting flight of the partypoker LIVE Grand Prix Canada, the marquee event of the 2020 World Cup of Cards starts now! The 5:00pm flight (Day 1I) has already brought the tournament north of the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool and every additional entry will just keep adding to the juicy payouts.

Players start with 100,000 chips and since this last flight is a turbo flight, the blind levels are 15 minutes in length. There are unlimited re-entries available right up until the start of level 11 at 12:45am.

Keep in mind that if you already qualified but still would like to increase the size of the stack you bagged, you can always try to bag a bigger one right now; should you send more than one stack to Day 2, you will resume play with your largest stack, while the forfeited one(s) will net you a cool min-cash of $400.

Good luck to all runners today, and stay tuned for photos, leaderboards, and more!
