Day 1h of the World Cup of Cards Event #1: NL Hold'em Quantum is complete. Wednesday evening's flight attracted another 56 entries to Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake, QC. This was the eighth of ten starting flights for the $200,000 guaranteed event.
The unique event features multiple buy-in levels with a different percentage making Day 2 for each. Day 1h had an entry fee of $350 with 13% of the field moving on. There were eight spots up for grabs, each receiving a $400 bonus for qualifying.
A bonus feature of the Quantum flights is a special reward for qualifying multiple stacks on Day 2. Players may only take their largest stack forward and for each stack they forfeit, they receive a cash bonus of $1,500. This evening, Andrew Boujaoude did just that and walked away with $1,900, qualifying for Day 2, a second time.
Mathieu Leclerc lead the field on Day 1h and will currently has the second-best stack heading into Day 2. Leclerc bagged 386,200 to claim the top spot.

The coolest of coolers has sent Jonathan Poulin to the rail, two away from making Day 2. Poulin found himself all-in and at risk with pocket kings, but in the unluckiest of fashions, Timothy Aube woke up with two aces. The board ran out 
and Poulin was eliminated.
