Isabelle Tremblay Finding Her Stride

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Isabelle Tremblay
Isabelle Tremblay

Isabelle Tremblay has played most of the starting flights for WPT National Montreal and hasn't been able to make any deep runs to this point.

Earlier today it looked like more of the same when she was the third person all in preflop with the best hand. She had {10-}{10-} against {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and {8-}{8-}. She was ahead until the river. When the {a-Spades} hit the river, Co Tran won the hand. Orlando Moretti was eliminated and Tremblay was left with 9,000.

Over the last few levels she has managed to build her stack over 70,000. Her demeanor at the table is confident and calculated.

On one recent hand, she was on the button.

Before the action came to her, she was watching each player in turn. One by one they folded until it was her turn. She finally looked at her own cards and then the stacks of the two players in the blinds. She raised to 3,000 and and resumed her comfortable pose. Sitting straight with both hands laid on top of her cards, one atop the other.

Yu Gao was in the small blind and seemed to react when Tremblay raised. A few seconds later, he mucked his hand. Tam Ho's hand quickly followed Gao's into the muck and Tremblay took down the pot.

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Khalid Waziri had an opponent all-in and at risk on a flop of {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{a-Clubs}. Waziri tabled {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a flopped set of twos while his opponent reluctantly turned over {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}.

The board completed with a {3-Diamonds} and {3-Spades} filling up Wasiri with a full house and busting his opponent.

222 Players For Day 1f, Double Largest Previous Flight

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

After the first few flights of WPT National Montreal were smaller than expected, it looked like there was going to be a sizable overlay. Then yesterday's morning flight posted the biggest number so far, 111. The evening turbo flight drew 76 and it looked like there might be a chance of covering the guarantee.

Then Day 1f, a Tuesday 10 a.m. flight, doubled yesterday's number. With one turbo flight left, starting at 7 p.m. WPT National Montreal looks sure to pass the guarantee. Currently, Gary Lucci leads the flight with just under 100,000 and there are 112 players remaining.

There are 25 players through to Day 2 already and 12 players from today's flight will join them. The final 27 players in today's flight will receive CAD $750 minimum, which gets them their entry fee back plus $150.
