Pablo Mariz and David Guay Are Back After a Life-Changing Summer!

It was a great summer for local players Pablo Mariz and David Guay. They went to the 2017 World Series of Poker with a dream and made that into a reality.

The two friends kicked things off with a deep run in the $1,000 Tag Team event, finishing in second place for $46,000 a piece. They went toe-to-toe with eventual winners Nipun Java and Aditya Sushant and took a nasty beat in the final hand after flopping trip queens and seeing their opponents make running trip aces to lock up the bracelet.

That was no problem though, as Mariz went on to win the Millionaire Maker less than a week later for a whopping $1.2 million for the first, and eventually only, Canadian bracelet of the summer. He also went on to finish in 13th place in the $888 Crazy Eights tournament for $41,000.

Guay was likely feeling left out, so he decided to make a run himself in the $10,000 Main Event. He finished in 22nd place for over $263,000 for his biggest career cash.

The dynamic duo have taken their seats here today, so keep it locked in as we track their progress.
