Brian Altman Tops Day 1a Field

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Brian Altman
Brian Altman

After 10 Levels of play, 127 entries to the 2015 partypoker.net WPT Montreal here at Playground Poker Club came to a close with just 45 players remaining. Coasting up top was Brian Altman, bagging 221,600 chips for Monday's Day 2 as the only player to top 200,000. The next-best stack is that of Jacques Frenette of 190,400.

Altman joined the WPT Champions Club earlier this year when he claimed the title at WPT Lucky Hearts. That win back in February earned him $723,008, and he's well on his way to make another deep run here in Montreal.

There were quite a few other notable players among the late-day survivors. Mike Leah (107,700), Jeff Madsen (86,900), Anthony Zinno (77,000), Antonio Esfandiari (29,600), Will Failla (79,800), Mike Watson (38,900), and Dylan Wilkerson (28,300) will all be back on Monday.

Some of the players to buy in today but fail to hold on to chips include Eric Afriat, Freddy Deeb, Jeff Gross, Kevin MacPhee, Sam Chartier, Mike McDonald, Jonathan Duhamel, and Darren Elias.

Another field of players will fill the tables tomorrow to try to qualify for Day 2. Day 1b will kick off at 11 a.m. and those who don't make it will still have one more chance in Sunday's Day 1c.

PokerNews will be back for live updates of all the action from the first card to the last. Until then, have a great night!
