djgolfcan I entered a $22 tournament on Party Poker tonight that I thought was a $5k GTD, turned out to be a satellite to win 1 of 5 seats to an online Day 1 for the Canadian Grand Prix with a $500k GTD prize pool and the live portion is at The Playground. - With 40 entries and 5 spots guaranteed, I managed to win a seat to the Day 1 online event. Little did I know that it started at 9:00pm EST and I was automatically late reg'd to it. You can play multiple Day 1s and take your largest stack to the live Day 2 on April 30. - 53 players entered this Day 1 and it played for 18 levels. Got down to 7 players with two levels still to go and I had $240k at that time. Live Day two will start at level 13 (1500 / 3000 - 300), so 80 BBs would be great ! Also, they send you $400 US for expenses if you make it to Day 2. - I write this with 7 of us left and two levels to go. I hope the update is really good. - WOOHOO !! Montreal here I come ! Ended up with $198k which will be 65 BBs on Day 2

djgolfcan The Royal is a MUCH tougher tournament than people realize. Mr. Pringles was solid, he never bluffed and was UBER patient. I went from finishing 2nd in the MVP race at the last Royal Cup, to finishing below Mr. Pringles this year. Some days you're the windshield and other days, you are the fly. - Mike Leah was a piece of cake compared to Mr. Pringles, lol.
djgolfcan Toronto Pimp;405128 wroteDj.... safe trip to Montreal and turn that 22 bucks into many thousands�� Thanks, but if I win, I'm still not playing you at $5/$10
djgolfcan Thanks for the well wishes everyone. I am really looking forward to this event. So far 125 players have qualified for Day 2 and I expect it to climb to about 200 by Sunday. I'll update as much as I can.
djgolfcan 277 players moved on to day 2 that starts at 1pm today. Largest stack is 1.1 million, don't know the average but I have 197,800. Blinds are 1500 / 3000 with a 300 ante and go up every 40min.
