Day 1K of the $200 + $20 Grand Prix Canada has wrapped up in a dramatic fashion. Two players at two separate tables busted at the same time as play went hand for hand in level 18. Because there are now only 24 players advancing to Day 2, the two eliminated competitors were awarded min-cash.

Ryan Garonce doubled his stack from the last break to end the day with 2,612,000. Garonce had a steady day in the top five but he was able to knock out a few players and secure the top spot.

The top five stacks from Day 1K are:

• Ryan Garonce – 2,612,000
• Stephane Hamel – 1,604,000
• Dominic Noel – 1,395,000
• Jacques Bigonesse – 959,000
• Marc Senechal – 780,000
