The final flight of the night, Day 1G Turbo, attracted 70 entries, including 10 re-entries, hoping to qualify for Day 2 of the Grand Prix Canada. Only the top ten would qualify to continue their quest for a piece of the guaranteed prize pool of $500,000.

Eliminations were happening left and right as the turbo flight lived up to it’s speedy name. It didn’t take long before the field was reduced to the final two tables. Derek Bennett was able to finish the night atop the leaderboard with a stack of 1,564,000. Bennett and the second place finisher Raphael Verdugo, were the only players to become millionaires from the flight. Click here for the full list of combined Day 1 results.

Tomorrow is the final day to qualify for Day 2 which will take place Sunday, January 26 at 1:00pm. There will be three flights beginning at 11:00am, 5:00pm, and 10:00pm. Don’t miss out!

Tonight’s turbo flight has lived up to it’s speedy name as the field is already down to 13. Only the final ten will be in the money and qualify for Day 2. The end of the flight is on the horizon and the tension is mounting. 

The top 10 players from tonight’s turbo flight will advance to Day 2 of the Grand Prix Canada. Everyone who advances will be assured of a payout of at least $400. Players also have the opportunity to enter as many starting flights as they wish, should they try to run up a larger stack.

There are now 26 players remaining on Day 1G, with the average stack providing just over 25 big blinds.

Here’s a look at who remains.

Late registration is now closed and the players have just returned from their first break of the night.  After ten levels of turbo play, the field grew to 70 entries (including 10 re-entries) with still 46 players left in contention.

The average chip stack is sitting at 145,600 chips (29 big blinds) and one player has managed to go over the 300,000 mark. Nikolas Blanchette leads the pack with an impressive 370,000 in chips, good for 74 big blinds.

Here’s a look at the top three stacks in play:

The room is slowly but surely filling up and there are now 37 players remaining from a total 40 entries. Players have right up until the start of level 11 at 12:45am to join the action with a full 100,000 chip starting stack.  The turbo flight structure offers quick 15-minute blind levels for any players that prefer a more fast paced game. Don’t miss your chance to win a piece of the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool.

Here’s a look at some early action.

Day 1G of the Grand Prix Canada is about to kick off at 10:00pm. Competitors in tonight’s turbo flight will play to qualify for Day 2 on Sunday, January 26 and ultimately for a piece of the $500,000 prize pool guarantee.

Players will start with 100,000 in chips to play through 15-minute blinds until the field is reduced to one in seven entries. Once the money is reached, the remaining players will advance to Day 2. Each Day 1 flight will start 10-handed and move to 9-handed as soon as possible. 

The Grand Prix is a re-entry event with unlimited re-entries permitted until the end of the late registration period at the beginning of level 11. Players may enter additional Day 1s even if they have survived a previous Day 1 with chips. Players who qualify for Day 2 more than once resume play on Day 2 with their largest qualifying stack; all other qualifying stacks are forfeited. Players would, however, retain the associated cash prize for every forfeited stack.

Good luck to all players!
