The start of this weekend’s 2012 WPT Montreal set a new record for a tournament with over a $1k buy-in taking place in Canada.

1173 entrants were recorded during Day 1 of this event with a previous record set earlier this month at the WSOPC Vancouver (1032 entrants). These figures demonstrate that poker is alive and well in Canada and apparently growing in popularity.

Chip count before day two, top 6:

1. Patrick Lelievre 326,100

2. Kalpesh Raichura 314,200

3. Kerry Shears 299,300

4. Jeff Gross 284,000

5. Jean-Louis Forino 272,000

6. Glen Cymbaluk 270,700
