Mit 888 Entries an den drei Starttagen war die Frage vor Tag 2 des CA$3.300 Main Event der WPT Montreal zunächst, ob die ambitionierte Garantie von CA$3 Millionen geknackt werden würde.
Die Antwort fiel eindeutig und beeindruckend aus. 221 Spieler machten von der Option Gebrauch, sich an Tag 2 (erneut) einzukaufen, und damit geht es mit insgesamt 1.109 Entries in den nächsten Tagen um ein Preisgeld von CA$3,327 Millionen.
Viele bekannte Spieler nahmen die letzte Gelegenheit wahr, noch ins Geschehen einzugreifen, darunter auch Joseph Cheong, James Romero, Jeff Gross und als einziger deutscher Starter Manig Löser.
Löser kam passabel durch den Tag und konnte 144.000 Chips sammeln, doch die besten Karten hat nach Tag 2 Mike Leah.
Der Kanadier tütete am Ende 1,201 Millionen Chips ein und ist damit aktuell der einzige Chipsmillionär. Pechvogel des Tages war dagegen Nadil Lalji, der mit AJ gegen AQ von John Schubert ausschied und Bubble Boy wurde.
Danach wurde das Turnier abgebrochen, und alle 159 Spieler, die den Sprung in Tag 3 geschafft haben, haben den Min-Cash von umgerechnet $4.568 sicher.
Der Sieger erhält in der kanadischen Metropole CA$500.000, doch bis dahin ist noch ein weiter Weg. Erst einmal geht es in der kommenden Nacht bei Blinds von 3.000/6.000 darum, den Sprung in Tag 4 zu schaffen. Das Finale findet dann in der Nacht von Sonntag auf Montag statt.
