Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Day 1b of the Card Player Poker Tour (CPPT) World Cup of Cards at Playground Poker Club has wrapped up with just 25 of 115 entries securing a seat on Day 2.
Leading the charge and taking the overall chip lead was World Series of Poker bracelet winner Michael Malm. Malm tossed a stack of 414,500 into his bag at the end of the night.
Malm was the beneficiary of a semi-bluff gone wrong by former chip leader Sylvain Siebert. Siebert checked shoved for seven-times the pot on the turn with just an up-and-down straight draw and Malm tank-called with top-pair top-kicker. The river bricked and Malm scooped a huge pot to take a huge lead over the field.
Other top stacks include Jonathan Marrie (267,000), Jake Labonte (248,000), Gregory Harwick (221,500), Paul Scott (211,000), and Maxime Flibotte-Blanchard.
Firing their final bullet and missing the mark, partypoker ambassadors Kristen Bicknell and Natalia Breviglieri, Mike Leah, Dustin Melanson, Carter Swidler, Steven Kerr, and WPT Champion's Club member David Ormsby all failed to make it through to Day 2.
With just 191 entries total, the $400,000 guarantee was not met and anyone making the money on Day 2 will be rewarded with some extra value. The top 24 places will be paid, banking at least $3,600 while the top share of $98,000 will go to the eventual champion.
Day 2 will get under way at noon local time on Sunday and play will continue for nine 60-minute levels. Though with only 43 players remaining, there is a very good chance the event will wrap up and crown a champion late Sunday evening.

Level 14

Jean-Philippe Piquette thought he found a great spot to get his chips in the middle and double through big stack David Baba.
Piquette moved all-in with pocket queens and unfortunately, Baba had the same hand.
Picquette held the two black queens and called for a black flop. The dealer swept out a flop with two hearts, however, sparking some concern from Picquette. The turn was a safe black card and the two players took back their stacks, chopping the blinds and antes,
