Benoit Beaulac Takes Half the Chips In Play to Day 2 of WPT National Montreal
Benoit Beaulac is the far-and-away leader at the end of Day 1a in WPT National Montreal. He finished the day with 648,000, which was more than half the chips in play.
Sebastien Proulx (216,000) is the next closest player and finished just above Fabio Luongo (211,000). Luongo got out of the gates early, playing many hands during the early levels. He cracked 100,000 early in the day and managed to work up to over 200,000 on the final hand of the day when he eliminated Sanjeepan Sathavism in sixth place. Each of the remaining players is guaranteed CAD $1,500 and will return on Wednesday for Day 2.
Day 1b starts tomorrow at 10 a.m. and is the second of seven total starting flights.
