Jeffrey Cormier Takes Top Spot in Day 1c WPT National Montreal
Day 1c of WPT National Montreal has come to a close at Playground Poker Club in Kahnawake, Quebec. The WPT National is part of a series of great tournaments that just started called the World Cup of Cards.
Jeffrey Cormier ended the day with 376,000, which was good enough for the chip lead for this flight. Daniel Charette (357,000) and Alain Rondeau (352,000) are close behind. Five players made it through and will join the ten other players in Day 2 on Wednesday. Rodney Ramalho was the Day 2 bubble boy today and failed to make Day 2 for the second straight day.
Yesterday he ran queens into kings and finished seventh, two spots from advancing, and today he got all in with 
against 
and couldn't catch an ace. After two long runs, he has cashed for CAD $2,500, but is still looking for that Day 2 spot and will likely be back at it tomorrow at 10 a.m. when Day 1d begins.
There are four starting flights left and there is likely to be a large overlay.
