Twelve more players have booked their seat in Day 2 of the Quantum No Limit Hold em tournament. Today's flight drew 144 entries which brings the total entries so far to 305. Ramsey Belmaaza bagged the chip lead with 369,200 just about 30,000 off Day 1a's end-of-day leader [Removed:105] (399,100).
Day 2 will be Sept. 13th, but until then each of the players who cashed today can play one of the nine remaining starting flights. If they make Day 2 again, they forfeit their smaller stack and earn CAD $400 on top of the CAD $1,500 for the forfeited stack. Day 1b starts Saturday at 7 p.m. local time.

As the event is two away from the end of play, we are streaming live on Periscope. Click the link inside the tweet below.
A short-stacked Alain Pare moved all-in preflop, one seat over Norman Messier three-bet jammed all-in for more, and Ramsey Belmaaza called all-in for just less than Messier.

Belmaaza was ahead leading into the flop and the dealer delivered their fate with a 
board. Belmaaza's pair of sevens held knocking out Pare and crippling Messier.

Players are now on a 15-minute break as 18 remain.
Across the room we seen Reid Fortin pump his fist and an opponent walking away from the table. Approaching the table the dealer was cutting down Fortin's stack and a monster pot sat in the middle of the table.
The board was 
and Fortin's was the only hand still on its back. Chatter overheard at the table claimed it was a three-way all-in and Fortin's pair of tens was best.
