The Grand Prix Canada has played down from 2,696 entries to reach the final 16 players. Yesterday’s Day 2 saw 366 players take to the felts and battle it out for a day of dramatic action. Everyone who reached Day 2 secured themselves a payout from this event, but all eyes were set on the $80,000 prize at the top of the prize list. Predictably, Day 2 started off with a bang, as the players raced to build their stacks and setup a deep run. The frenetic pace of the early levels reduced the field by half within the first three hours of play, before the deep stacks and big pay jumps led to a much slower pace of play. After a 12-hour grind, only 16 players remained, each with a payout of at least $2,500 secured.
When play resumes for Day 3 at 6:00pm, the players will be seated according to the following table.
