John Tajima Leads 22 More Into Day 2 of the GPPT Montreal $500,000 Guarantee
After the third of five flights scheduled for today was over, John Tajima (466,000) just beat out Jonathan P Sa D (439,000) for the top stack heading to Day 2. The 22 players who made it through from this flight will join the other Day 2 qualifiers Sunday at 1 p.m.
This flight drew 213 entries and Tajima finished the closest to the current overall chip leader Mike Stannard (668,500). Stannard is one of many players who qualified for Day 2 even before the live flights for the Canadian Grand Prix started. Jonathan P Sa D just missed bagging the lead, after he made the call that burst the bubble. Richard Porritt limp-shoved and Jonathan called. He won the hand and ended Day 1e, but just missed the chip lead by 27,000. This was one of five live flights today and there will be four more live flights tomorrow. There are still online flights starting 30 minutes after the live flights begin on partypoker.
