Jean Sebastien Dubois led for most of Day 1a of the $1,650 CPPT. The field drew 154 players today and at least that many are expected tomorrow for the second and final starting flight.

Dubois leads 31 other players with 439,000. Samuel Barre finished in second, after a wild end to the flight which saw Marc Andre Ladouceur eliminated just before bagging in 33rd place. Ladouceur joined Kevin Macphee, Tim Reilly and 2009 PCA Champ Poorya Nazari as some of the higher tournament live earners to join the field. All of them failed to make Day 2 and are expected to join the Day 1b field tomorrow.

Carter Swidler did make it through, he bagged 161,500. Swidler has over $500,000 in live tournament earnings and much more in online earnings.

This is just the start of one of the bigger buy-in events at the Wolrd Cup of Cards. Day 1b starts tomorrow at 11 a.m.

This is Event #24 of the World Cup of Cards at Playground Poker Club. The WCC, which started in August will end in four days, but not before the conclusion of the CPPT $1,650.

Bagging For the Night

Brentharrington • Level 14: 1,200-2,400, 400 ante

Peter Chien Can "Beat Some Stuff"

Brentharrington • Level 14: 1,200-2,400, 400 ante

Peter Chien just came from behind to double up after getting all in preflop. He held {a-}{q-} against the {a-}{k-} of his opponent.

"You think I'm making a move?" his opponent asked when he saw the hands.

He had raised from the button and Chien likely reraised from the blinds. His opponent shoved and Chien called off his remaining stack with ace-queen.

"I beat some stuff," Chien replied.

The flop made short work of the drama when it rolled out a straight for Chien. The {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop was completed by the {3-Hearts} on the turn and the {5-Hearts} on the river. Chien doubled up.

Jasdeep Rai Eliminated by Marc Andre Ladouceur

Jasdeep Rai shoved all in on the {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} flop for about 60,000. Marc Andre Ladouceur was next to act and asked for a count. While the dealer was counting out the chips, Ladouceur had a chunk of chips in his hand and was slowly lowering them onto the felt to call.

He called and showed {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a gut-shot and a flush draw. He was behind the {k-}{8-} of Rai, who had one pair. The turn was the {6-Spades} though and completed the flush draw, sending Rai home in 43rd place.
