After the Lucky Hearts Poker Open Main Event, the top prize of which was captured by Brian Altman, the World Poker Tour continues the festivity with an action-packed stop in Canada since last weekend. Held at Fallsview Casino Resort, the $ 5,000 buy-in WPT Fallsview Poker Classic Main Event actually attracts 419 poker enthusiasts, 119 of the pack would make it through Day 2. Andrew Pantling bagged up the chip lead heading to Day 2 with 384,200 chips, followed by Shannon Shorr, George Gaffiero, Faisal Khan and Sylvain Siebert, the four other players armed with over 250,000 in chips. Surprisingly, all these men failed to qualify to Day 3 battle.

As for Marvin Rettenmaier, Victor Ramdin, Jared Jaffee, Mike Leah, Ryan Riess and Dylan Wilkerson they also hit the rail, and headed to the exit...empty-handed. The Top 6 of the chip count will enter the next battle of this poker tournament with over one million in chips.
