There were 100 players who entered Day 1A, and we’ve just received confirmation that there were exactly 200 players who entered Day 1B. Day 1C will need to attract 290 players to meet the guaranteed prizepool of CAD $2 million.
Jake Schwartz entered shortly before the dinner break began, Kevin MacPhee and Bryn Kenney entered during the dinner break, and the final player to enter Day 1B was Samuel Chartier. Chartier got off to an excellent start early on Day 1A, but was eliminated in a three-way all-in situation in the final minutes of the night.
