Day 1B of the $200 + $20 Grand Prix Canada attracted a total of 179 entries (including 53 re-entries). Play was action packed and stacks started to get built right from the start. Having unlimited re-entries allowed some of the players to take some chances and for a few of them, it paid off nicely.

There were two all in hands on two different tables when the tournament was on the bubble and the bustout hand happened when Alexandre Henry three-bet with and was taken all in by Adam Hussen who was holding . The board ran out and Henry exited just shy of bagging for Day 2.

Michele Pengue was on top of the leaderboard for most of the night and in the end he bagged the lead with an impressive 1,876,000 chips.
