Tanveer Dhanjal bagged 553,000 after eliminating Sander Straus and ending the final starting flight of WPT National Montreal.
A total of 135 players joined the seventh and final flight, which was a turbo. That broke the CAD $400,000 guarantee as 871 entries took their shot at Day 2 and only 44 players made it through. Dhanjal bagged the biggest stack of this flight, but Senthuran Vijayaratnam bagged the overall chip lead with 797,000.
Tomorrow's flight begins at 1 p.m. and will play down to the final six players. The blinds will start at 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante. The field will play the final five minutes of that flight and then player 40 minute levels after that. The 44 remaining players are guaranteed CAD $1,500 and the first prize is CAD $80,000.

Kathy Sawers has been a wrecking ball all evening. She is also on the verge of being the first player to make two Day 2's during this festival.
Her latest victim was Misha Olof Alexander Peters.
Peters moved all-in preflop and Sawers snap-called from the big blind.
Sawers: 
Peters: 
Sawers' king-kicker would be enough to bust Peters after the dealer rolled out a 
board.
