Level 9
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The second flight of the $2,000,000 guaranteed partypoker LIVE Canadian Poker Championships played out at Playground Poker Club on Saturday attracting a field of 194 entries. After nine levels of play, Daren Keyes bagged best with a monster stack of 7,183,000 leading the 106 Day 1b survivors.
Keyes had the lead coming back after the final break of the night and moments into play, Keyes found a sick cooler to crush Alex Difelice with pocket kings over pocket queens, claiming the largest pot of the event thus far.
Keyes closest competitor on the night was Sebastien Labbe, who used two double-knockouts to cap off the day with 5,777,000. Other top stacks were Ari Engel (5,200,000), Stephane Bedard (4,752,000), George Gaffiero (4,558,000), and Ettehadi Seyedrohollah (4,408,000).
Day 1b started with 82 Phase 1 qualifiers and the field grew with 92 additional entries and 20 re-entries to close at 194 total entries. When the clock ran out, there were 106 survivors.
Notables moving on to Day 2 include Michael Malm (3,486,000), Kyle Bower (3,400,000), Griffin Benger (2,809,000), Armand King (2,500,000), High Roller champ Jeff Cormier (2,494,000), and Sam Chartier 1,716,000). partypoker Team Pro Natalia Breviglieri also found a bag after firing two bullets on Day 1a unsuccessfully. Breviglieri will start Day 2 with 870,000.
Those in need of another bullet after falling on Day 1b include Chanracy Khun, Jason Duval, Jonathan Duhamel, Ryan Yu, Shaan Siddiqui, and Thomas Lefort.
Day 1c is set to get underway at noon local time on Sunday. Another nine levels are on the schedule with late-registration and option for a single re-entry open all day long.
Here's a look at the remaining schedule for the CPC:

The Keyes to Victory
Level 9
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Daren Keyes already had the chip lead. After a pot with Alex Difelice, that lead is now even greater.
Keyes opened to 50,000 from late position and got flatted by the player in the cutoff. Alex Difelice made a huge three-bet from the button, bumping it up to 235,000.
Keyes slid out a four-bet of 635,000 forcing the player in the cutoff to quickly fold and Difelice five-bet jammed all-in. Keyes snap-called, having Difelice covered.
Difelice: 
Keyes: 
A 
board fanned out and Keyes was pushed the largest pot of the even thus far.

According to his table, Jean Francois Cadorette hadn't found many spots to put his chips to work. Cadorette's stack hadn't budged much from his initial starting count but after a player in early position moved all-in for about 230,000, Cadorette three-bet shoved and cleared the rest of the table.
Cadorette: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
and Cadorette was able to drag in a nice pot to boost himself back over starting stack.
