Looking for your own big time poker experience? The Playground Poker Fall Classic, featuring the World Poker Tour Montreal, runs now through Nov. 27. With events ranging from $150 all the way to $10,400, Playground Poker Club truly is Canada's premier poker destination.
The WPT Montreal kicks off on Nov. 20, featuring three Day 1s with next-day reentry format. Since its inception, the WPT Montreal has been one of the most popular stops on the WPT, featuring record fields and huge prize pools. Opportunities to win your way into Canada’s premier poker tournament are still available through a number of live satellites at the club.
On Wednesday, Nov. 19 there will be THREE satellites. Things will get started at 1 p.m. local time with a $150 reentry satellite with two seats guaranteed, and that will be followed by a $150 turbo reentry satellite at 4 p.m., also with two seats guaranteed. The blockbuster kicks off the same night at 7:30 p.m. — a $385 reentry satellite with 10 seats guaranteed!
There are additional $385 reentry satellites on Thursday, Nov. 20 and Friday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. — perfect for a player who wants to qualify for a second entry in the WPT. In addition to these multi-table satellites, players will have the opportunity throughout the Fall Classic to play in single-table sit-n-gos, and you can inquire at the brush desk for more information.
Minh Nguyen is still looking like the chip leader. He recently sent a player to the rail on a board. We arrived at the aftermath, but considering the commotion from the table when the river was dealt, it seemed the all-in player had got his chips in on the turn with against Nguyen's , with the ace on the river giving Nguyen exactly what he needed to win the pot.
The action started with the player in middle position raising to 950. The player to his left made the call as did Luis Arrilucea next in line. The big blind also came along as the four players watched the flop come down .
The big blind checked before the player in middle position made a 3,100 continuation bet. Two players made the call as the big blind got out of the way.
On the turn, the original raiser slowed down opting to check. Another check followed before Arrilucea casually slid out 6,075. With the decision back on the original raiser, he moved all in for 11,300. The bet was only called by Arrilucea before both players tabled their cards.

Arrilucea had locked up the pot with his flush on the turn and scooped in the pot when the meaningless completed the board. He now moves up to 47,000 in chips.
Our reining Auckland champion David Lim is still in the tournament during the sixth level of the day. We recently watched Lim scoop up a pot on a board. Lim was in the small blind position against two opponents and it had been checked to the river. Lim led out for 1,000 on the river and got two folds to scoop the pot.
When Lim won the ANZPT Auckland Main Event in 2013, he finished Day 1 with just over 50,000 in chips. Despite winning this small pot, he only has around 11,000 at the moment as we move towards the point end of the day.
