The players moved up a blind level, skipping 40k/80k/80k, but once they started on 50k/100k/100k, they decided to chop and call it an evening. Jamie Martin had the big stack, so he took the win, while Osbert Liu took second. They both won $74,736.

The money went in on the 2♦5♠4♦ flop with Jamie Martin on a pair of fives with a wheel draw on ace-five, but Liu was drawing to diamonds with J♦8♦. Liu found his third diamond on the turn of 9♦8♥.
That put Liu to the lead with about 9 million to 3.5 million. On the very next hand, the money went in with Martin holding ace-king against queen-ten for Liu. Liu flopped a ten, but Martin flopped a king and held to put them back to even.

Osbert Liu raised to 125k, and both Jamie Martin and Eric Wasylenko called. It checked to Liu on the 10♠Q♣8♠ flop, and he fired 200k.
Martin folded, but Wasy shoved. Liu called quickly, and it was a cooler with Wasy on ten-eight vs queen-eight for Liu. The runout J♠4♠ didn’t change anything, sending Wasylenko home in 3rd place.

Jamie Martin is still leading with around 7 million, but Osbert Liu has chipped up a bit. There haven’t been a lot of showdowns in the past while, with hands typically ending without any board action.
Eric Wasyenko is the short stack right now, with around a million, and his main move has been to shove and take down blinds & antes, sometimes with limps included.

Jeff Bryde raised under the gun to 120k, and Osbert Liu called from the button, as did Jamie Martin from the small blind. It all kicked off on the 9♣8♦K♣ flop.
Martin checked, and Bryde fired 225k. Liu mucked his hand, but Martin raised enough to force Bryde all in.
Bryde snapped it off with kings and nines, while Martin was open-ended with 7♠6♣. Martin bricked the A♠ turn, but smashed the 5♥ river for his straight.

Jamie Martin is running over the table right now, with about 7.5 million of the almost 13 million in play. He just three-bet Jeff Bryde, making it 325k to go after Bryde opened to 100k from the button.
On the previous hand, Osbert Liu called the small blind preflop, and Martin checked. They checked through the flop and turn on a board of 8♣3♥J♠4♠A♦. On the river, Liu slid out an overbet of 500k.
“That looks very bluffy,” Martin commented, holding up a queen rag. “Can you believe I am thinking of calling with this?” He eventually mucked, but Liu made no indication if it was a bluff or not.

Jamie Martin raised the middle to 60k before Homan Mohammadi shoved the big blind. Martin called it down with the big stack and queens, and Mohammadi was drawing thin with ace-jack. He found a diamond draw on the turn of 8♥2♦10♦6♦Q♠, but the offsuit queen on the river sent him out.

Mohammdi mucked when Liu showed king-ten of hearts for top pair on the flop.

It all went in preflop after Eric Wasylenko raised to 60k, Osbert Liu reraised to 200k, Wasy four-bet to 425k, Liu shoved the big stack, and Wasy called it off. It was a classic race between big slick for Wasy and pocket jacks for Liu, but the runout wasn’t as classic when Wasy hit the wheel on 4♠5♣2♣3♥7♥.
Wasy doubled up 1.225 million and now looks to be second in chips behind Jamie Martin, who is playing about 3 million. They have another break in about 30 minutes, and I’ll do full chips then.

I had a bit of a short circuit today, and I’ve been mistaking Vik Gill for someone else. Gill just doubled through Deven Lane after Lane raised, Gill shoved, and Lane called it off.
Lane was in good shape with ace-queen over ace-jack, but after three eights on the flop and a jack on the turn, Lane bricked the river to send the double to Gill.
Lane busted in the next hand, and they are now setting up the final table.

“If you bet 100k, I pay you off,” said Sandhu as he folded.
“That’s why I bet 200k,” Martin said with a smile.

After a check from Lane on the 7♠ river, Mohammadi fired 120k. Lane tanked for a bit before folding. Before the flop, he told Mohammadi he was looking for a suit.
“Were you looking for spades?” Mohammadi asked, showing ace-jack of spades. Lane chuckled and indicated that spades wasn’t the suit he was after, fortunately for him.

| Prizes: | $403,988 |
| Local Time: | 2:10 PM |
The Main Event players are on their first break of the day, and they are 6 off the money spots when they return to action for Level 18 in about 10 minutes. They will be returning to blinds of 5k/10k/10k, with the average stack just over 30 big blinds.
Start-of-day leader Osbert Liu still looks to be leading, with 1.04 million in front of him right now, with the DNR player also sitting with over 1 million.
| Level: | 17 (4000/8000/8000) |
| Entries: | 41/315 |
| Prizes: | $403,988 |
| Local Time: | 1:45 PM |
The Main Event is down to 41 players as they approach the first break of the day. That puts them 9 off the money spots, and it seems likely they’ll hit the bubble play sometime in Level 18.
| Level: | 17 (4000/8000/8000) |
| Entries: | 45/315 |
| Prizes: | $403,988 |
| Local Time: | 1:10 PM |
About 10 minutes have passed in Level 17, and the Main Event field is down to 45 players left. That still has them 13 off the 32 paid spots for today, so there’s still some poke to play before anyone gets paid today.
All the prizes are loaded under the Payouts tab, but just as a reminder, the min-cash today for 32nd place is $3,434, but the winner later today is expected to pocket almost $91k, barring any end-of-day deals.
| Date: | Day 2: Apr 19, Noon |
| Blinds: | 60 Minutes |
| Entries: | 58/315 |
| Prizes (1st Place): | $403,988 ($90,893) |
| Chip Leader: | Osbert Liu (728.5k) |
Day 2 of the Main Event is set with more than $400k up for grabs. 32 players will get a piece of the action, so that means 26 Day 2 players will have to go home empty-handed from Sunday’s action.
The Day 2 action kicks off at Noon, and they’ll play until a winner is decided. Given that there are 58 returning players, expect it to be a long day before the final hands are played. The Day 2 blinds are 60 minutes, and the action kicks off in Level 16 with blinds at 3k/6k/6k.
Osbert Liu is the chip leader to start the day. He bagged 728.5k on Day 1b, and is 150k ahead of the Day 1a leader, Chris Bryant in second place. The 3rd place stack asked to be reported as DNR, but Jamie Martin (a1) and Shivan Ahmad (1b) round out the top five counts.

There were 38 bags at the end of Day 1b, and Osbert Liu is the biggest stack from the second flight. He has 728.5k and will also be the big stack to start Day 2. The second-place player tonight asked to be DNR, but Shivan Ahmad, Shressh Hebbar, and Daniel Lefebvre round out the top five counts from 1b. Below is a look at all the 1b stacks, and stay tuned for the Day 2 seats assignments coming shortly in the Day 2 opening post.

Day 1b is nearly done, and there are still 44 players remaining. There are 15 minutes left on the clock, but they’ll pause the clock at 10 minutes to draw for the remaining hands. Stay tuned for a look at the 1b stacks coming in the next hour or so, with the Day 2 seat assignments to follow in the Day 2 opening post.
| Level: | 14 (2000/4000/4000) |

About an hour remains in Day 1b, with Level 14 about half finished. The prizes have just been released, and the field is confirmed at 315 entries, which is a bit better than the results from last Spring.
That puts the confirmed prize pool at just shy of $404k, and the winner on Sunday will be pocketing more than $90k, assuming there are no deals at the end of the day. 32 players will share in the prizes, but the Day 2 field will return with more than 32 players, so some returning players will have to go home empty-handed.
The full prizes are loaded under the Payouts tab, with the top ten payouts below.
| Place | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1 | $90,893 |
| 2 | $58,578 |
| 3 | $40,399 |
| 4 | $32,319 |
| 5 | $24,239 |
| 6 | $18,179 |

| Local Time: | 10:00 PM |
About 10 minutes remain in Level 13, and the 1b field is down to 68 players left. They’ll end early if they get to 21 players, but that seems very unlikely. More likely, they’ll bag up at the end of Level 15 with more than 10% of the field still alive. If it goes the distance, that should mean the bags come out somewhere around 11:30 PM.
| Level: | 13 (1500/3000/3000) |
| Entries: | 90/209 (110/315 combined) |
| Prizes: | $268,043 (Combined: $403,988) |
| Local Time: | 9:30 PM |
Entries are now closed for the Main Event, and it was a big one. The final tally for entries looks to be 315, though that number is still awaiting confirmation. If it holds, it should mean a Day 2 prize pool of $403,988, with 32 players sharing it.
Today’s flight looks to have ended with 209 entries, which will mean a hard stop at 21 players. More likely, they’ll pay to the end of Level 15 with more than 21 players still remaining. I should be able to get prizes posted later tonight.
| Level: | 12 (1500/2500/2500) |
| Entries: | 82/196 (102/302 combined) |
| Prizes: | $251,370 (Combined: $387,315) |
| Local Time: | 8:40 PM |
The final level of entries for the Main Event is now underway, and the combined field is over 300. They are now just 10 entries away from capping $400k in combined prizes, and that looks like it should happen before entries close at the start of Level 13, which is now about 45 minutes away.
| Level: | 11 (1000/2000/2000) |
| Entries: | 95/191 (115/297 combined) |
| Prizes: | $244,958 (Combined: $380,903) |
| Local Time: | 8:10 PM |
Just over 20 minutes remain in Level 11, with Level 12 as the final level to enter the Main Event. The 1b field is up to 191 entries now, which puts more than $380k into the prizes already, and means they are just 15 entries away from capping $400k.
David Ko, Sunny Lubana, Doug Lee, and Todd Oakley are among the other players I’ve spotted in today’s event.
| Level: | 10 (800/1600/1600) |
| Entries: | 98/177 (118/283 combined) |
| Prizes: | $227,003 (Combined: $362,948) |
| Local Time: | 7:15 PM |
The combined prizes are over $360k as the 1b players go into the final three levels of open entry. The 1b field is up to 177, for 283 overall, and there are now just over 2 hours left to get into the Main Event. The field is less than 30 entries away from $400k in prizes.
| Level: | 9 (600/1200/1200) |
| Entries: | 90/169 (110/275 combined) |
| Prizes: | $216,743 (Combined: $352,688) |
| Local Time: | 6:15 PM |
The 1b players are about 10 minutes from their dinner break, with just over 3 hours remaining in entries. The 1b field is now up to 169, for a combined total of 275. That puts the combined prizes over $350k now, and I’d expect at least another 10-20 entries before the desk closes at 9:30 PM tonight. At this point, they need 37 entries to hit $400k in prizes, while another 15 entries today will put the prizes over $370k.
| Level: | 9 (600/1200/1200) |
| Entries: | 99/165 (119/271 combined) |
| Prizes: | $211,613 (Combined: $347,558) |
| Local Time: | 6:00 PM |
With 3.5 hours to go in entry for this final flight to the Main Event, the 1b field is now at 165, for a combined total of 271. That puts the 1b prizes over $210k, with the combined prizes now just a couple of entries shy of $350k.
Among the players in action today are Sen Vijayaratnum, Jo Teliani, Daniel Lefebvre, Julius Roque, Sebastian Crema, Malcolm Bolger, Ramaz Haymour, Cam Stewart, Don Fujita, Shane Brotherwood, Nu Teliani, Jason Law, and Shawn Taghavi.
| Level: | 8 (500/1000/1000) |
| Entries: | 111/162 (131/268 combined) |
| Prizes: | $207,765 (Combined: $343,710) |
| Local Time: | 5:40 PM |
With about 10 minutes to play in Level 8, the 1b field is now at 162 entries, for 268 overall. That brings the 1b prizes over $205k, for $342k in total. Just under 4 hours remain in entries for this Main Event.
| Level: | 7 (400/800/800) |
| Entries: | 117/156 (137/262 combined) |
| Prizes: | $200,070 (Combined: $336,015) |
| Local Time: | 4:50 PM |
The 1b prize pool just capped $200k, for a combined total of just over $336k. That comes from 156 1b entries, for a total field so far of 262.
Today’s flight only needs another 11 entries to push the combined prizes over $350k, and the field is now just 50 entries shy of $400k. That $400k mark looks a little out of reach right now, but it’s not impossible; More than $350k for the combined prizes looks like a solid lock, however.
| Level: | 6 (300/600/600) |
| Entries: | 118/150 (138/256 combined) |
| Prizes: | $192,375 (Combined: $328,320) |
| Local Time: | 4:15 PM |
There are about 5.5 hours left to get into this final flight to the Main, with the seconds ticking down to the end of Level 6. The 1b field is 150, for a combined total of 256 and total prizes of almost $330k.
There is still easily enough time for the 1b field to hit 170-180 entries before it closes, and 200 isn’t out of the question. If today’s field hits 206, it would mean a combined prize pool of more than $400k.
| Level: | 6 (300/600/600) |
| Entries: | 124/144 (144/250 combined) |
| Prizes: | $184,680 (Combined: $320,625) |
| Local Time: | 3:40 PM |
Level 6 is just underway in the final flight to the Main Event, and the prizes are more than $320k combined. So far, the 1b field is pushing 150 entries, with 250 entries combined across both flights, with entries open for just shy of 6 hours.
| Date: | Day 1b: Apr 18, Noon |
| Blinds: | 40 Minutes (60 Minutes on Day 2) |
| Starting Stack: | 40k |
| Late Entry: | 12 Levels (~9:30 PM) |
| Day 1 Ends: | 10% of the field, or the End of Level 15 |
| Entries: | 20/106 |
| Prizes: | $135,945 |
The second flight to the Main Event is set to hit the runway at noon on Saturday, but players can board for the first 12 levels of play. Players sit down with 40k in chips to play 40-minute levels on Day 1.
Entries will close at the start of Level 13, which will be about 9:30 PM. After that, they play down to 10% of the field, or until the end of Level 15, whichever comes first. Note that, unlike other multi-flight games in this series, players who make Day 2 will not be in the money immediately.
After the opening flight on Friday, 20 players, of the 106 initial entries, still had chips at the end of Level 15. Chris Bryant is the big leader so far, bagging 581k at the end of 1a. Jamie Martin was just shy of the half-million mark for second place.
| Player | Chips |
|---|---|
| Chris Bryant | 581,000 |
| Jamie Martin | 490,500 |
| Homan Mohammadi | 364,000 |
| Umang Dattani | 257,000 |

| Garry Sandhu | 98,000 |
| Clayton Switzer | 96,000 |
| Vincent Chahley | 86,000 |
| Saeed Ganji | 26,000 |
I’m expecting a field of well over 150 entries for Day 1b. If they hit 150, that will mean prizes of almost $330k, while a 1b field of 200 would push the prizes to just shy of $400k. A field of 206 for 1b would make over $400k in prizes, but they only need 128 1b entries for a $300k prize pool.
| Level: | 15 (2500/5000/5000) |
| Entries: | 20/106 |
| Prizes: | $135,945 |
| Local Time: | 11:50 PM |
It turns out there were only 20 bags to end the night, as opposed to the previously reported 21. Chris Bryant is the leader from 1a, with 581k, while Jamie Martin is second with just shy of half a million. Homan Mohammadi, Umang “Ronnie” Dattani, and Nicholas Lee round out the top five stacks, with Lee and Dattani bagging identical stacks of 257k.

| Local Time: | 11:30 PM |
Day 1a of the Main Event is complete, with 21 players advancing to Sunday’s Day 2. The remaining players are just bagging their chips now, and I’ll have the 1a chip counts out shortly.
| Level: | 14 (2000/4000/4000) |
| Entries: | 24/106 |
| Prizes: | $135,945 |
| Local Time: | 10:35 PM |
The Main Event 1a field is down to 24 remaining now, with just under 20 minutes to play in Level 14. That puts them about an hour away from the end of the night, at most, but they might end early if they lose 13 players before then.
| Level: | 14 (2000/4000/4000) |
| Entries: | 27/106 |
| Prizes: | $135,945 |
| Local Time: | 10:15 PM |
The Main Event is down to 27 players left with Level 14 just underway. If they make it to 11 players, the bags will come out early, but no matter what, the game will bag at the end of Level 15, at the latest.
| Level: | 13 (1500/3000/3000) |
| Entries: | 30/106 |
| Prizes: | $135,945 |
| Local Time: | 9:40 PM |
Entries for Day 1a of the Main Event are now closed, with the final tally at 106. That puts the 1a prizes over $135k, with 11 bags expected at the end of the night.
The field is at 30 remaining now, so they need to lose 19 players before an early end. However, this Main Event plays a bit differently than the previous multi-flight games – the bags will come out at the end of Level 15, even if they haven’t hit 10% of the field. Players should note that Day 2 will likely include some players returning outside the money.
| Level: | 11 (1000/2000/2000) |
| Entries: | 55/100 |
| Prizes: | $128,250 |
| Local Time: | 8:20 PM |
Day 1a of the Main has just over an hour left in entries, and the field is at 100 entries. That puts the prizes so far at $128,250, but I expect another 10 or so entries at least before the desk closes at 9:30 PM.
| Level: | 10 (800/1600/1600) |
| Entries: | 54/89 |
| Prizes: | $114,143 |

| Prizes: | $111,578 |
| Local Time: | 6:30 PM |
The Main Event players are just moments from the dinner break, with the field at 87 entries, for prizes of more than $110k. There are still three hours of entry left for today’s flight, and just as a reminder, they are running single-table satellites in the Poker Room for this event.

| Entries: | 64/80 |
| Prizes: | $102,600 |
| Local Time: | 5:45 PM |
About 5 minutes remain in Level 8, and the Day 1a field is up to 80 entries. That means the prizes for the opening flight are now over $100k, with about 3.5 hours left to enter today’s flight. Today’s field could well flirt with 100 entries or more.
| Level: | 7 (400/800/800) |
| Entries: | 59/70 |
| Prizes: | $89,775 |
| Local Time: | 4:40 PM |
The Day 1a field is up to 70 entries now, for prizes just shy of $90k. For players still looking for a cheap way into the game, Deerfoot Inn & Casino are running single-table satellites in the poker room tonight.
$330 buys a seat at the table, with 2 tickets up fro grabs on a 10-handed table, or a single ticket for five players. There’s a list running in the poker room, so head there to take a shot at a cheap seat in the Main Event.

The prizes for Day 1a of the Main Event are now closing in on $90k with 68 entries on the board. The players have just returned from the break following Level 6, and there are about 5 hours left to enter today’s flight.
Haven Taylor, Glenn Slater, James Cruickshank, Sebastian Crema, Bogdan Szafanowicz, David Swaim, and Shane Britherwood are among the players in action today.
| Level: | 6 (300/600/600) |

| Local Time: | 3:45 PM |
The Main Event field is at 58 entries for the opening flight so far, for prizes of just shy of $75. Just shy of 6 hours remain in the entry period for today’s flight, and with the current pace of entries, it looks like today’s field will top out around 80 or 90 entries.

| Prizes: | $65,408 |
| Local Time: | 2:45 PM |

| Starting Stack: | 40k |
| Late Entry: | 12 Levels (~9:30 PM) |
| Day 1 Ends: | 10% of the field, or the end of Level 15 |
The final weekend of play in the Spring Super Stack is about to kick off, and that means Day 1a of the Main Event is on deck. The Day 1 action gets going at noon, with players starting the day with 40k in chips.
Levels are 40 minutes long on Day 1, and the registration desk is open for 12 levels. Including breaks, that should put the final chance to enter at about 9:30 PM. Day 1 will finish at 10% of the field, or at the end of Level 15, whichever comes first. Note that, unlike the other multi-day games in this series, Day 2 players in the Main Event will not necessarily be in the money, as more than 10% of the field may get through one or both of the Day 1 flights.
In the Spring of 2025, Alex Liu bagged another Main Event win after a chop with David Swaim. That game got 309 entries for prizes of $396,293. Last Summer, Chase Bonertz was the Main Event winner over a field of 329 for a prize pool of $421,943.

The second-place player tonight asked to be DNR, but Shivan Ahmad, Shressh Hebbar, and Daniel Lefebvre round out the top five counts from 1b.

About an hour remains in Day 1b, with Level 14 about half finished. The prizes have just been released, and the field is confirmed at 315 entries, which is a bit better than the results from last Spring.
That puts the confirmed prize pool at just shy of $404k, and the winner on Sunday will be pocketing more than $90k, assuming there are no deals at the end of the day. 32 players will share in the prizes, but the Day 2 field will return with more than 32 players, so some returning players will have to go home empty-handed.
The full prizes are loaded under the Payouts tab, with the top ten payouts below.
| Place | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1 | $90,893 |
| 2 | $58,578 |

| Local Time: | 10:00 PM |
About 10 minutes remain in Level 13, and the 1b field is down to 68 players left. They’ll end early if they get to 21 players, but that seems very unlikely. More likely, they’ll bag up at the end of Level 15 with more than 10% of the field still alive. If it goes the distance, that should mean the bags come out somewhere around 11:30 PM.
| Level: | 13 (1500/3000/3000) |
| Entries: | 90/209 (110/315 combined) |
| Prizes: | $268,043 (Combined: $403,988) |
| Local Time: | 9:30 PM |
Entries are now closed for the Main Event, and it was a big one. The final tally for entries looks to be 315, though that number is still awaiting confirmation. If it holds, it should mean a Day 2 prize pool of $403,988, with 32 players sharing it.
Today’s flight looks to have ended with 209 entries, which will mean a hard stop at 21 players. More likely, they’ll pay to the end of Level 15 with more than 21 players still remaining. I should be able to get prizes posted later tonight.
| Level: | 12 (1500/2500/2500) |
| Entries: | 82/196 (102/302 combined) |

| Local Time: | 8:40 PM |
The final level of entries for the Main Event is now underway, and the combined field is over 300. They are now just 10 entries away from capping $400k in combined prizes, and that looks like it should happen before entries close at the start of Level 13, which is now about 45 minutes away.
| Level: | 11 (1000/2000/2000) |
| Entries: | 95/191 (115/297 combined) |
| Prizes: | $244,958 (Combined: $380,903) |
| Local Time: | 8:10 PM |
Just over 20 minutes remain in Level 11, with Level 12 as the final level to enter the Main Event. The 1b field is up to 191 entries now, which puts more than $380k into the prizes already, and means they are just 15 entries away from capping $400k.
David Ko, Sunny Lubana, Doug Lee, and Todd Oakley are among the other players I’ve spotted in today’s event.
| Level: | 10 (800/1600/1600) |

| Prizes: | $227,003 (Combined: $362,948) |
| Local Time: | 7:15 PM |
The combined prizes are over $360k as the 1b players go into the final three levels of open entry. The 1b field is up to 177, for 283 overall, and there are now just over 2 hours left to get into the Main Event. The field is less than 30 entries away from $400k in prizes.
| Level: | 9 (600/1200/1200) |
| Entries: | 90/169 (110/275 combined) |
| Prizes: | $216,743 (Combined: $352,688) |
| Local Time: | 6:15 PM |
The 1b players are about 10 minutes from their dinner break, with just over 3 hours remaining in entries. The 1b field is now up to 169, for a combined total of 275. That puts the combined prizes over $350k now, and I’d expect at least another 10-20 entries before the desk closes at 9:30 PM tonight. At this point, they need 37 entries to hit $400k in prizes, while another 15 entries today will put the prizes over $370k.
| Level: | 9 (600/1200/1200) |
| Entries: | 99/165 (119/271 combined) |
| Prizes: | $211,613 (Combined: $347,558) |
| Local Time: | 6:00 PM |
With 3.5 hours to go in entry for this final flight to the Main Event, the 1b field is now at 165, for a combined total of 271. That puts the 1b prizes over $210k, with the combined prizes now just a couple of entries shy of $350k.

| Local Time: | 5:40 PM |
With about 10 minutes to play in Level 8, the 1b field is now at 162 entries, for 268 overall. That brings the 1b prizes over $205k, for $342k in total. Just under 4 hours remain in entries for this Main Event.

The 1b prize pool just capped $200k, for a combined total of just over $336k. That comes from 156 1b entries, for a total field so far of 262.
Today’s flight only needs another 11 entries to push the combined prizes over $350k, and the field is now just 50 entries shy of $400k. That $400k mark looks a little out of reach right now, but it’s not impossible; More than $350k for the combined prizes looks like a solid lock, however.

There are about 5.5 hours left to get into this final flight to the Main, with the seconds ticking down to the end of Level 6. The 1b field is 150, for a combined total of 256 and total prizes of almost $330k.
There is still easily enough time for the 1b field to hit 170-180 entries before it closes, and 200 isn’t out of the question. If today’s field hits 206, it would mean a combined prize pool of more than $400k.

Level 6 is just underway in the final flight to the Main Event, and the prizes are more than $320k combined. So far, the 1b field is pushing 150 entries, with 250 entries combined across both flights, with entries open for just shy of 6 hours.

The second flight to the Main Event is set to hit the runway at noon on Saturday, but players can board for the first 12 levels of play. Players sit down with 40k in chips to play 40-minute levels on Day 1.
Entries will close at the start of Level 13, which will be about 9:30 PM. After that, they play down to 10% of the field, or until the end of Level 15, whichever comes first. Note that, unlike other multi-flight games in this series, players who make Day 2 will not be in the money immediately.
After the opening flight on Friday, 20 players, of the 106 initial entries, still had chips at the end of Level 15. Chris Bryant is the big leader so far, bagging 581k at the end of 1a. Jamie Martin was just shy of the half-million mark for second place.

I’m expecting a field of well over 150 entries for Day 1b. If they hit 150, that will mean prizes of almost $330k, while a 1b field of 200 would push the prizes to just shy of $400k. A field of 206 for 1b would make over $400k in prizes, but they only need 128 1b entries for a $300k prize pool.

The players moved up a blind level, skipping 40k/80k/80k, but once they started on 50k/100k/100k, they decided to chop and call it an evening. Jamie Martin had the big stack, so he took the win, while Osbert Liu took second. They both won $74,736.

The money went in on the 2♦5♠4♦ flop with Jamie Martin on a pair of fives with a wheel draw on ace-five, but Liu was drawing to diamonds with J♦8♦. Liu found his third diamond on the turn of 9♦8♥.
That put Liu to the lead with about 9 million to 3.5 million. On the very next hand, the money went in with Martin holding ace-king against queen-ten for Liu. Liu flopped a ten, but Martin flopped a king and held to put them back to even.

Martin folded, but Wasy shoved. Liu called quickly, and it was a cooler with Wasy on ten-eight vs queen-eight for Liu. The runout J♠4♠ didn’t change anything, sending Wasylenko home in 3rd place.

Jamie Martin is still leading with around 7 million, but Osbert Liu has chipped up a bit. There haven’t been a lot of showdowns in the past while, with hands typically ending without any board action.
Eric Wasyenko is the short stack right now, with around a million, and his main move has been to shove and take down blinds & antes, sometimes with limps included.

Martin checked, and Bryde fired 225k. Liu mucked his hand, but Martin raised enough to force Bryde all in.
Bryde snapped it off with kings and nines, while Martin was open-ended with 7♠6♣. Martin bricked the A♠ turn, but smashed the 5♥ river for his straight.

Jamie Martin is running over the table right now, with about 7.5 million of the almost 13 million in play. He just three-bet Jeff Bryde, making it 325k to go after Bryde opened to 100k from the button.
On the previous hand, Osbert Liu called the small blind preflop, and Martin checked. They checked through the flop and turn on a board of 8♣3♥J♠4♠A♦. On the river, Liu slid out an overbet of 500k.
“That looks very bluffy,” Martin commented, holding up a queen rag. “Can you believe I am thinking of calling with this?” He eventually mucked, but Liu made no indication if it was a bluff or not.

Mohammdi mucked when Liu showed king-ten of hearts for top pair on the flop.

It all went in preflop after Eric Wasylenko raised to 60k, Osbert Liu reraised to 200k, Wasy four-bet to 425k, Liu shoved the big stack, and Wasy called it off. It was a classic race between big slick for Wasy and pocket jacks for Liu, but the runout wasn’t as classic when Wasy hit the wheel on 4♠5♣2♣3♥7♥.
Wasy doubled up 1.225 million and now looks to be second in chips behind Jamie Martin, who is playing about 3 million. They have another break in about 30 minutes, and I’ll do full chips then.

Lane was in good shape with ace-queen over ace-jack, but after three eights on the flop and a jack on the turn, Lane bricked the river to send the double to Gill.
Lane busted in the next hand, and they are now setting up the final table.

The remaining players are now redrawing for seats on the final three tables. There were two busts at the same time on the most recent hand. Fred Parsons was 28th after his nine-ten couldn’t find a straight against pocket tens. Meanwhile, one table over, Denny Amirault had his pocket tens outflopped by big blind Jamie Martin, when Martin called preflop and hit two pair on the flop with four-three.

Once the bubble burst, a few of the shorter stacks were eager for doubles, and they saw several bustouts to bring the game to 29 remaining. As always, I’ll post the recent cashouts within posts, with the full list of prizes for today under the Payouts tab.

The bubble play is now complete, and the clock is running again with just over 50 minutes remaining in Level 19. Sunny Lubana was the unfortunate bubble today, and Chris Bryant was the recipient. When the stacks were counted down, Bryant had about 10k more than Lubana behind, and Bryant is now sitting with well over a million.
All remaining players are now guaranteed money.

The action is now hand-for-hand on the bubble with 33 players left. The clock was paused with just 3:51 remaining in Level 18, and they’ve played one hand with the clock paused so far.

The Main Event is down to 34 players left, just 2 players off the money. That puts them on the soft bubble, and one elimination away from hand-for-hand, with about 10 minutes to play in Level 18.

The Main Event field is nearing the money now with 35 players left. There are about 20 minutes left in Level 18, and they’ll go into the hand-for-hand phase of the game after two more eliminations.

The Main Event is down to 36 players remaining, on the final four tables. That puts them just 4 eliminations away from the money spots. With about 40 minutes to play in Level 18, it still looks like a reasonable bet that hand-for-hand play will start sometime in this level.

The Main Event players are on their first break of the day, and they are 6 off the money spots when they return to action for Level 18 in about 10 minutes. They will be returning to blinds of 5k/10k/10k, with the average stack just over 30 big blinds.
Start-of-day leader Osbert Liu still looks to be leading, with 1.04 million in front of him right now, with the DNR player also sitting with over 1 million.

| Local Time: | 1:45 PM |
The Main Event is down to 41 players as they approach the first break of the day. That puts them 9 off the money spots, and it seems likely they’ll hit the bubble play sometime in Level 18.
| Level: | 17 (4000/8000/8000) |

About 10 minutes have passed in Level 17, and the Main Event field is down to 45 players left. That still has them 13 off the 32 paid spots for today, so there’s still some poke to play before anyone gets paid today.
All the prizes are loaded under the Payouts tab, but just as a reminder, the min-cash today for 32nd place is $3,434, but the winner later today is expected to pocket almost $91k, barring any end-of-day deals.

Day 2 of the Main Event is set with more than $400k up for grabs. 32 players will get a piece of the action, so that means 26 Day 2 players will have to go home empty-handed from Sunday’s action.
The Day 2 action kicks off at Noon, and they’ll play until a winner is decided. Given that there are 58 returning players, expect it to be a long day before the final hands are played. The Day 2 blinds are 60 minutes, and the action kicks off in Level 16 with blinds at 3k/6k/6k.
Osbert Liu is the chip leader to start the day. He bagged 728.5k on Day 1b, and is 150k ahead of the Day 1a leader, Chris Bryant in second place. The 3rd place stack asked to be reported as DNR, but Jamie Martin (a1) and Shivan Ahmad (1b) round out the top five counts.
