Niklas Astedt

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.

Jack Hardcastle, who has been on a tear online in recent months, finished just outside the top ten on the leaderboard with 2,021,106, while partypoker Ambassador and streamer Jamie Staples also advanced to Day 2 with a stack of 1,204,562.
