Pure Poker Tour Series #6 – Event #14: $1,100 Main Event

As 2024 winds down, the Alberta poker scene is heating up with the final series of the Pure Poker Tour (PPT) season. The trophy events kick off at Pure Casino Yellowhead on November 21 with the Seniors First event, followed by 11 days of action-packed poker, and highlighted by the $1,100 Main Event starting on November 29.

Check out live updates and reporting from the Pure Poker Tour Series #6 by Lyle Bateman. Chose an event of your choice down below:

  • Nearing Three Tables

    Level:17 (4000/8000/8000)
    Entries:29/316
    Prizes:$297,198

    They are down to 29 now, just two players away from the final three tables. Ben Cooper was the most recent player to hit the exit for $2,190 and there are two more places to pay out at that level before it jumps to $2,760 minimum for the final three tables.

  • 30 Players Left in the Main

    Prizes:$297,198

    They are down to 30 left in the Main Event now with about 25 minutes to play in Level 17. Jimmy Lee took 32nd place today, followed closely behind by Geordi Lobe in 31st.

  • Down to 32

    Prizes:$297,198

    Kim Graham was the runner-up in the last Main Event on the PPT and he made Day 2 once again here this time around. His day ended a little earlier this time, however, when Ali Khani raised the cutoff to 18k, then snapped it off when Graham shoved a smaller stack.

    Graham was dominated with ace-six into ace-king, and while the dealer originally thought it was a chopped pot, the king played for Khani to take it and send Graham to the rail for 33rd place today. There are about 30 minutes to play in Level 17 before the first break of Day 2.

  • “Bad Beat on Table 5”

    Lyle Bateman
    Level:17 (4000/8000/8000)
    Entries:33/316
    Prizes:$297,198

    If this was a cash game, the bad beat jackpot likely would have just been paid out. MOney went in on the flop with Nathan Masih on quad tens but Johnny Dalphond open-ended to the straight flush with ten-jack-queen-king of clubs. The table erupted with “Wow!” when the [invalid notations] came on the river to give Dalphond the Royal and the double up.

    Meanwhile, on another table Ottawa moving magnate Marc Lavergne hit the rail for 34th place today.

  • Down to 4 Tables

    Lyle Bateman
    Level:16 (3000/6000/6000)
    Entries:35/316
    Prizes:$297,198

    They are down to 35 left now with the exits of Ron Lauzon, Mal Hagan, and Chad Horseman with Horseman as the first player in the pay jump to $2,190. There are about 15 minutes remaining in Level 16.

  • Down to 38 Early

    Lyle Bateman
    Level:16 (3000/6000/6000)
    Entries:38/316
    Prizes:$297,198

    There were a few very short stacks to start the day today, and among them were Thomas Taylor and Kevin Voyer. The mixed-game specialist, Taylor, was the first player to hit the rail today for a min-cash of $1,810 and Kevin Voyer followed him out of the room shortly afterward.

  • Day 2 is Underway!

    Lyle Bateman
    Level:16 (3000/6000/6000)
    Entries:40/316
    Prizes:$297,198

    The final 40 players in the Main Event are back in their seats for Day 2 and the money play. Level 16 is just underway and they’ll play until there’s a winner later tonight.

  • Vijayaratnam Leads Day 2 Stacks

    Lyle Bateman
    Event:Event #14: $1,100 Main Event Day 2 ($990 + $110)
    Date:Dec 1, Noon
    Blinds:60 Minutes
    Entries:40/316
    Prizes:$297,198
    1st Place:$62,468

    Day 2 is set with 40 players returning, and 1a chip leader Sen Vijataratnam leading the way by more than 300k. The second stack for Day 2 will be Day 1b leader Jatinder Brar with Colten Yamagishi, Garry Sandhu, and Steve Chung, all from 1b, rounding out the top five stacks.

    Day 2 gets underway at noon on Sunday but players are asked to be in the room by 11:45 so the bags can be opened on time. They’ll start play at the end of Level 15 with less than 2 minutes remaining on the clock.

    Play is expected to finish on Sunday, but depending on how late things go, the tournament director reserves the right to stop the game and bring the remaining players back for a Day 3 on Monday if required.
