With another 90 minutes of late registration or re-entry still available, Day 1I in the Grand Prix Canada is still growing, having passed the 500-entry mark some time ago, and cruising towards 550 entries or beyond! This brings the whole event very close to matching the number of players required to cover the guarantee – so by the end of the registration period in this flight – or very early in Day 1J – every new buy-in will increase the prize pool past the $500,000 mark.
Play continues in the afternoon flight in level 8 with blinds at 1.5K/3K and a 3K big blind ante. At last check, the chip leader in the tournament was still Josh Kimmel with over 600K in chips, but we will create a new leaderboard in the flight during the next break, which is coming in 12 minutes.
