Day 2 of the 2015 partypoker WPT Canadian Spring Championship Starts Now!

[user127999]

Day 2 of the 2015 partypoker WPT Canadian Spring Championship will kick off from the Playground Poker Club on the outskirts of Montreal, Quebec at 12 p.m. local time Sunday.

With 370 total entries creating a $1,148,480 prizepool that will pay 45 spots, $237,390 plus a seat in the WPT Season XIV Championship awaits the winner.

Currently, there are 151 players retaining a shot at the title with Canadian killer Mike Leah leading them all.

However, there's lots of danger lurking in the top ten with locals like 2014 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown champ Eric Afriat, and World Series of Poker bracelet winners Pascal LeFrancois and Jason Duval also stacked.

Plus, WPT Champions Club member Marvin Rettenmaier, WSOP Circuit ring winner Darryll Fish and Montreal's own WSOP final table participant Laurence Grondin are also within striking distance.

Revised plans include playing eight 60-minute levels today, which should bring the event close to the money bubble.

As always, the PokerNews Live Reporting Team will be on hand for all the action, bringing you live updates, photos and videos throughout.

Before play begins, check out what Grondin had to say about her good start and playing at home in Montreal in the following video interview with PokerNews' Caitlyn Howe:

Nicholas Palma Takes Leah's Lead

[user127999]

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Nicholas Palma woke up with two aces and led for 2,500, getting three callers including chip leader Mike Leah.

The flop came and after a series of raises, Palma and Leah each get another 20,000 in the middle.

Palma then bet 35,500 and 79,000 on the turn and river, with Leah calling both. Palma turned over top set, Leah mucked and the lead is now Palma's.

Nicholas Palma	330,000	207,200

[user127999]

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Eric Afriat appears to have picked up another 100,000 in chips over the past half a level without much sweat.

He told PokerNews he hasn't had to show much either, smashing flops and pushing players around on his way to cresting the 300,000 chip mark and maintaining a spot in contention for the lead.
