The following players have had their initial starting stack dispersed amongst the field and have decided to take advantage of the re-entry option, firing a second bullet here on Day 1a.
With late registration open all day players are able to join at their leisure. Marc-Andre Ladouceur, Edwards Hislop, Faisal Khan, and Thomas Popov are the latest entries to jump in the mix.
We arrived at the table as Ryan Riess was calling an all-in bet from his heads-up opponent on the river of a board. His opponent didn't immediately table his hand so Riess turned over and his opponent mucked in defeat.
Michel Gariepy was one of the early leaders but had seen his stack almost cut in half since his peak. After the latest hand Gariepy played, that is no longer a problem.
Gariepy was the beneficiary of poker's sickest cooler; aces versus kings.
Gariepy had an opponent all-in and at risk for a pot worth just under 1.5 million holding against his opponent's .
The board ran out and Gariepy dragged on the massive pot.
The following players are just a few of the notables who have been eliminated here on Day 1a. Good news for them is that this is a re-entry event so they can fire another bullet again today or at two more bullets on each Day 1 flights and even for the first three level of Day 2.
The bad news is it will cost them another $2,200 each time they need to reload. Live Phase 1s are currently running at Playground to get in for a fraction of the cost.
