Hope Stacey bubbled the Day 1a turbo flight of the Canadian Grand Prix. She is in the field again today hoping to improve on the near miss. She got all in with her last chips in the blind after a shorter stack quadrupled up one hand earlier.
She couldn't find a pair and was eliminated in 13th place in that flight.

The players can play the online flights at the table. Mike Stannard is the current chip leader through to Day 2 with 668,500 and he built that stack in one of the online flights.

Day 1c of the partypoker Canadian Grand Prix $500,000 Guarantee has 75 entries so far.
The World Cup of Cards (WCC) is really starting to ramp up with Day 1a of the partypoker Grand Prix Poker Tour $500,000 Guarantee. This is event #16 and this tournament sports the biggest guarantee of the WCC. It also has the lowest buy in, only $109.
Today's flight is just the third of eleven live starting flights. There have been a ton of online Day 1 flights as well and 38 players have already qualified for Day 2. Mike Stannard is the big stack so far with 668,500.
There are still plenty of chances for live players to match Stannard's stack, beginning with Day 1c at 10 a.m. This will be one of four starting flights today. The regular flights will have 20-minute levels and the turbo flights will have 15-minute levels. Each player will start with 20,000 and each starting flight play will continue until ten percent of the field remains. Day 1c is a turbo flight.
One of the unique elements of the GPPT is a "Golden Chip." The golden chip can be earned in a series of 1-cent online tournaments. The top five players from each of the tournaments earns a virtual golden chip. If a player with a virtual golden chip makes Day 2, they get a physical golden chip. Then any player who wins the tournament and has a golden chip adds $50,000 to their first place prize.
