The WPT Montreal Main Event is deep into the money and with just 23 players remaining in the hunt for the $447,859 top prize, it’s going to go down to the wire to find a final nine players from the many talents who are still fighting for the title.

It is Felix Schulze who leads the final 23 Players in the partypoker WPT Montreal Main Event, and he’ll start the penultimate day of action with 20.7 million chips.

The $3,200-entry Main Event saw an ironically off-brand 888 entrants, with just 133 players being paid out. That number was reduced to just 23 after five hours of play on Monday evening, with some big names dropping out of contention.

Day 1b chip leader Luiz Orrico perished in 43rd place, earning $10,214 in the process, with partypoker players Joni Jouhkimainen (31st for $14,699) and Jamie Staples (77th for $7,654) both coming up short in terms of a really deep run.
