Day 1c of the partypoker LIVE Canadian Poker Championships at Playground Poker Club is in the books with 166 players surviving nine levels of play. A total of 310 entries were received on Sunday and topping the field was Daune Fernandez.
Fernandez accumulated a stack of 5,879,000 to claim the Day 1c chip lead and put himself third on the overall leaderboard. Following behind Fernandez in the counts were Kevin Rivest (4,462,000), Shijaudin Daud Sha (4,372,000), Glenn Allan (4,312,000), and Spiro Mikrogianakis (4,292,000).
Mikrogianakis rocketed up the leaderboard on the final hand of the night calling a preflop seven-bet shove from Noeung Troeung with pocket aces. Troeung had pocket kings and Will Failla who had five-bet shoved held pocket fours. A four and a king found their way on the flop but a big, juicy ace on the turn squashed both of Mikrogianakis' opponents hopes.
WPT Champions Club member Eric Afriat just missed out on a top five spot bagging 4,041,000. Alex Allison (3,134,000), Chanracy Khun (3,067,000), Benoit Jean (2,981,000), Shaan Siddiqui (2,525,000), Jason Duval (2,176,000), and 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Jonathan Duhamel (1,943,000) are just a few of the notables to secure a seat on Day 2.
Some notables still without a bag and in need of another bullet include Nicky Evans, Brian Morgan, Cassidy Battikha, Jason Conforti, Thi Nguyen, and Will Failla who busted on the final hand of the night.
