Day 1C of the WPT Montreal Main Event was the largest starting flight of all of the Day 1’s attracting a total of 433 players. In the end 208 players bagged to move on to Day 2 which will play out tomorrow at 12 noon. After all of the starting flights, there were a total of 888 entries (including re-entries), of which 433 players bagged stacks to play on Day 2.
Eric Afriat took the lead early on and stayed in the top position through the second break, but then lost some ground as the night played on. He still managed to find a bag but did not make the top spots. There were some large clashes along the way and in the end, it was Aaron Shepard who bagged the largest stack, taking 250,000 (312 BB’s) into Day 2. He was the only player who bagged over 200,000 chips.
Here are the top five stacks from 1C:
- Aaron Shepard 250,000 (312 BB’s)
- Kyle Scott Ferguson 197,200 ((246 BB’s)
- Louis Boutin 177,000 (221 BB’s)
- Victor Ramdin 175,000 (219 BB’s)
- Bradley Smith 171,200 (214 BB’s)
Players return tomorrow at 12 noon. Registration and re-entry remain open until the start of level 13 at 4:30pm. The prize pool is guaranteed to be worth at least CAD 3,000,000, and the payouts will be released after registration closes on Day 2.
