Gregg Savard was getting short and decided to open shove to see if he could find a double up. Ron G. made the call, but then Joseph Cheuong raised it up to isolate. Ron G. let go, and the hands were tabled:
Savard: 
Cheong: 
The board ran out 
. It was a chopped pot, which let Savard stay alive to see another flop. Ron G. laughed as he said “I folded a king, I would have won, dang.”

If you were looking to play the WPT500 and did not want to spend a long day here on Sunday, the Day 1E turbo flight might be the answer. In level 3 the tournament is now up to 31 entries (including 2 re-entries) and late registration will remain open until 12:30am! The tournament plays down to 15% of the field and all players who bag for Day 2 will be in the money!
Here are a few of the players currently seated at the tables:
The WPT Montreal continues on at 10:00pm with Day 1E of the $500 + $50 WPT500.
This epic, multi-day event has already gathered 1,144 entries through five online flights and four live flights. So far, 121 players have advance stacks to Day 2, which will be held Monday, October 28 at 1:00pm. To see the combined Day 1 results, click here.
Each starting flight of the WPT500 starts players with stacks of 30,000 in chips to play through as many 30-minute levels as needed to reduce the field to one in seven entries, at which point the players will bag their chips for Day 2. Each Day 1 will play 10-handed and move to 9-handed play as soon as possible.
The WPT500 is an unlimited re-entry event, with unlimited re-entries permitted until the beginning of the ninth level of play on each Day 1, which will arrive at 12:30am on Day 1E. Players can enter multiple starting flights but only their largest stack can be used on Day 2; all other qualifying stacks will be forfeited, but players will receive the associated cash prize for any forfeited stacks.
Good luck to all!
