Sebastien Labbe Leads Canadian Poker Championships at the End of Day 2
Level 17
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Day 2 of the marquee event of the 2017 World Cup of Cards is in the books after a late finish after the 5:00 p.m. start-time. The Canadian Poker Championships guaranteed a prize pool of $2 million dollars by partypoker and the Playground Poker Club.
Sebastien Labbe is the chip leader at the end of play today with a whopping 15,970,000 chips to lead the field of 145 remaining players. The day began with 419 players but after Level 12, there were 107 additional entries. In second place is Tommy Coulombe sitting on a stack of 15,500,000 chips, with multi-tabling beast Mike Leah (14,315,000), Playground1000 Champion Charles La Boissonnier (13,555,000), and Day 1 chip leader Daren Keyes (13,265,000) rounding out the top five stacks going into Day 3 on Tuesday at 1:00 p.m.
When all was said and done, there were 899 entries between the Phase One tournaments, both live and online, the online and live Day 1's, as well as Day 2 entries. A total of 162 players were to be paid with a min-cash worth $2,000. First-place works out to be $400,000 for the winner, along with the shiny trophy and the brag-worthy title of the 2017 Canadian Poker Championships Winner!
Since there are 145 players remaining, they are all in the money and guaranteed a payout worth $2,000 at the start of play tomorrow. The next pay-jump happens at 120th place for $3,000. While that may be the case, everyone will be super focused on that elusive final table and trying to spin up a stack or bust in the quest to the fourth and final day on Wednesday.
Here is a look at the top payouts on the final table:
| Place | Prize (CAD) |
|---|---|
| 1 | $400,000 |
| 2 | $240,000 |
| 3 | $164,000 |
| 4 | $110,000 |
| 5 | $75,000 |
| 6 | $50,000 |
| 7 | $35,000 |
| 8 | $26,000 |
| 9 | $20,000 |
The money bubble burst about halfway through the final level of the night when Leo Hackenbroch and James Rubin were all-in at the same time on different tables. Hackenbroch ran ace-queen into ace-king and was unable to get any help, while Rubin ran pocket jacks into Ari Engel's queens and couldn't get lucky. The two of them shared the 162nd-place prize of $2,000 for $1,000 a piece and there was no official bubble boy or girl. Interestingly enough, Lily Kornik still had a single T500,000 chip and survived the bubble to squeak into the money. In the end, she bagged for Day 3 after spinning her stack up to 1,560,000 for a shot at some real money.
Familiar faces in contention on Day 3 tomorrow include Jonathan Marrie (10,800,000), Kevin Rivest (10,375,000), Sam Chartier (9,350,000), Duff Charette (9,320,000), newly-crowned $10K WCOOP High Roller champion Patrick Serda (8,880,000), Joe Tehan (8,585,000), Ari Engel (7,615,000), Guillaume Nolet (6,500,000), 2013 WSOP Main Event champion Ryan Riess (6,080,000), WPT champion Ema Zajmovic (4,995,000), Chance Kornuth (4,440,000), 2013 November Niner Marc Etienne Mclaughlin (3,495,000), 2012 WSOP Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel (3,315,000), WSOP Millionare Maker champion Pablo Mariz (2,835,000), WPT champion Eric Afriat (2,155,000), and Pascal Lefrancois (850,000).
While many tough players made it through, even more didn't. Among the players to hit the rail before the money included partypoker Team Pros Kristen Bicknell and Natalia Breviglieri along with Carter Swidler, Stephan Tzoutzourakis, Francois Billard, Marc-Andre Ladouceur, Jason 'BebeChien' Duval, Laurence 'LadyLuckPoker' Grondin, Armand 'OysterKing' King, Rodney Ramalho, $10K High Roller champion Jeff Cormier, Will Failla, Nikolas Chinell, Wesley Wong, Mark Radoja, Griffin Benger, $5K High Roller champion Shaan Siddiqui, Marc-Olivier Carpentier-Perrault and Peter Chien.

Hackenbroch & Rubin Share the Bubble
Level 17
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
There will not be a bubble boy/girl in the Canadian Poker Championships.
Leo Hackenbroch and James Rubin will share the title. They will also share the 162nd prize of $2,000.
Rubin ran 
into Ari Engel's 
and Engel flopped a queen to quickly snuff out any hope Rubin may have had.
Hackenbroch three-bet jammed on Ko Maddock with 
but found himself dominated against Maddock's 
. Hackenbroch faired a little better through the 
board, picking up chop outs and a straight draw but ultimately whiffed on the river.
The remaining players are now in the money.
