We’ve just heard the bell indicating that we’ve moved from level three to level four, meaning the blinds have gone up again, this time to 700/1,400. Another metric that continues to rise is the number of entries at today’s $200 + $20 Grand Prix Canada Day 1L. Only 90 minutes has elapsed, but there have already been 209 entries so far! That equates to over 20 million chips in play. If the tournament were to close registration right now, the format of one qualifier for every seven entries would equal out to 30 places reserved for Day 2 qualifiers.

Luckily for you, however, registration is still open, and will remain so for the next four hours. See below for some more photos of our players as they make their way to the end of the fourth level and the first official 15-minute break of the day.
