WPT Montreal Online got underway last night on partypoker with Day 1a of the $2,000,000 GTD Main Event.

Poker players have been eagerly awaiting the festival since it was announced back in November.

The schedule features eight High Roller events, a $1m GTD Super High Roller and culminates in the WPT Montreal champion being crowned on January 27th in a livestreamed final table.

Kriazhev Leads WPT Montreal Online Day 1a

The $3,200 WPT Montreal Online Day 1a attracted a field of 482 players, with 72 making it through to Day 2. Germany's Andrei Kriazhev is a relative unknown, but bagged the chip lead with 4.7 million ahead of Alexandros Kolonias with 4.1 million in chips.

Kolonias is no stranger to major tournament success, winning last April's Poker Masters Purple Jacket and also winning the 2019 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event.

Ryan Riess

WPT Champions Club member Ryan Riess also had a good day, finishing in the top ten as he hunts a second WPT title after his 2017 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Finale victory.
