Congratulations to all advancing competitors!

Four players have joined the millionaire club as play resumes into level 16. The tension is high as the field is just three spots away from being in the money and qualifying for Day 2.

Tanvir Ahmed is the current chip leader with a stack of 67 big blinds. Raphael Ohayon moved to fourth position after winning a three-way all in which doubled his stack.

The field is down to three tables and the chips are flying. A lot of big hands are being won as players with smaller stacks know it’s now or never if they want to qualify for Day 2. It’s hard to tell who’s currently in the lead but a handful of competitors are piling up the chips.

Here’s a look at some of the bigger stacks.

There were a total of 101 entries, including 29 re-entries, before the late registration period was closed. Based on these numbers, the top 14 players will qualify for Day 2 and continue to compete for the guaranteed prize pool of $500,000.

Diego Aguilar has taken the lead after the second break of the night with 550,000 in chips which is currently worth 110 big blinds.

The clock is ticking down on level ten before the players take their second break. There are 20 minutes left before the late registration period closes at 10:50pm.

46 competitors are still in the field from a total of 98 entries. Here is a look at who’s still in play.

Play has resumed into level six after the break with 54 players in the field. Tu Kham Tran has taken a huge lead with a stack of almost triple the chip average.  Samy Elgrably is not far behind in second with a stack of 155 big blinds.

There have been 19 re-entries so far with more expected as there is still one hour and thirty minutes left before the late registration period closes at 10:50pm.

Play is halfway through level four with 59 entries so far. A few competitors have built up their stacks early but there’s plenty of time for players to recover their chips. The late registration period will be open until the beginning of level 11 at 10:50pm.

Here’s a look at what’s happening on the floor.

Welcome to Day 1F of the $200 + $20 Grand Prix Canada. This is one of the multiple starting flights offered for this exciting event which guarantees a prize pool of $500,000! Click here for more information on players that have already qualified for Day 2 and their combined results.

Tonight’s event is a turbo flight that will have participants play 10-handed through 20-minute levels.  Players begin with 100,000 in chips and will play until the number of remaining players has been reduced to 1 in 7 entries, at which point the money will be reached.

This is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted until the end of the late registration period at the beginning of level 11. Any player that loses their chips or chooses to forfeit their stack is permitted to re-enter and also play additional Day 1s, even if they have already qualified for Day 2. Qualified players will resume play on Day 2 with their largest qualifying stack.

Good luck to all players!
