Day 2 of the Main Event is Set to Go
The final day of action in the 2019 Fall PlayNow Poker Championship is set to get underway. A total of 233 entries came out to try their hand for a shot at the trophy and the prizes, but just 46 players are left with chips after 15 levels of play. The chip leader heading into Day 2 is Eddy Watt with more than 400,000 chips.
A slow start to registration quickly turned into the second biggest attendance for a Main Event in Winnipeg by the time registration closed after the dinner break. Quite a few notable players showed up for the big show, but many of them fell by the wayside before the first day was done.
Kyle Hartree, Deven Lane, Norbert Rosario, and Mark Charles were all looking to add some points to their Player of the Series standings with a deep run in the Main, but they all fell short of the mark. There was a bonafide celebrity at the tables today as well, as Finnish-Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard built up a huge stack during the middle stages of Day 1, but ultimately went card dead as the day got shorter, and ended up busting in the final level of the day. Ferosh Tailor, Rory Springman, Ron Lauzon and Leor Wasserman also had a disappointing day.
There were some big names with chips at the end of Day 1 as well. 2019 Spring champion Shaner Yo bagged up a stack of 68,000, while Manitoba's second most decorated poker player, Patrick "Super" Serda, bagged 85,000. Other notables to find a bag were Eric Wasylenko, Shawn Sperber, Dylan Ellis, and Mark Golub.
There's still lots of poker to play before a Main Event Champion is crowned, The remaining 46 players will return for play in Level 16 with blinds at 3,000/6,000/6,000, but only 24 of them will get a paycheck when they bust. All eyes will be on that top prize of $61,499. Cards go in the air at noon local time, and PokerNews Canada will be on the floor till a new champion is crowned.

Ellis Sends One to the Rail
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ethan Ellis raised to 22,000 from middle position and the player in the small blind moved all in for 80,000. Ellis threw in a single chip to make the call.

Opponent: 
The window card was the queen 
to give Ellis top set. But the turn card left Ellis needing to fade a nine. The brick on the river locked up the hand for Ellis and he now sits on a stack over 300,000.
