On Sunday, Jan. 24, partypoker hosted the second and final opening flight of WPT Montreal $3,200 Main Event.
Brazil's Luiz Orrico had the best day among the 61 survivors after he virtually bagged the Day 1b chip lead with a stack of 4,066,132.
The flight attracted 406 entrants to add another $1,218,000 to the prize pool. This brought the total prize pool up to $2,664,000 after taking into account the 482 entrants battling it out last Sunday, Jan. 17 to obliterate the $2 million guarantee.
While Orrico is a relatively unknown player, he did have many big names close on his tail to end Day 1b including online poker superstar Niklas Astedt (4,011,326), Jan-Eric Schwippert (3,176,223), Rui Ferreira (2,779,138), and Kenny Hallaert (2,013,966).
