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.

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.

With about 40,000 in the middle on a four-way 
board, Jeffrey Cormier bet 27,000. Timothy Aube jammed over top for 65,700 and Cormier made the call.
