Ontario Poker Championships #03-HR 6-Max

Event #03-HR was a No-Limit Hold’em 6-Max affair that saw 49 PartyPoker players buy in for $530 and create a $24,500 prize pool. Each of the seven players that reached the final table locked in prizes of more than $1,300.

“Yormomishot” was the first finalist to collect some prize money, their seventh-place finish coming with $1,341. The list of eliminated players continued growing with the exits of “VisTesReves” ($1,511), “Anonymous11” ($1,747), and “Phenom7” ($2,259).

The pay jumps were now substantial, and nobody would have cared had the final three players struck a deal to lessen those jumps. However, the last standing trio soldiered on and completed the high-stakes event as originally intended.

“balugasGood” crashed by the wayside in third ($3,130), leaving “Sucra71” and “Harpazo” to lock horns for the lion’s share of the prize pool. An intense battle followed and, once the dust had settled, “Sucra71” emerged victoriously and with the $7,380 top prize in tow. The runner-up turned their $530 into $4,644.

Ontario Poker Championships #04-H The Big Sunday C-Note PKO

Event #04-H The Big Sunday C-Note PKO was another big tournament that ran during the opening weekend of the Ontario Poker Championships. Some 227 PartyPoker Ontario players bought in for $109 and fought it out for a slice of the $25,000. Being a Progressive Knockout tournament, half of the prize pool was awarded in a traditional manner with the remaining 50% deposited into the bounty prize pool.

Three of this event’s finalists received four-figure bounty payments, which gave their overall haul a massive boost. “Marois32” won $1,325 from the main prize pool and an additional $1,343 worth of bounties for a total score worth $2,668.

The runner-up, “wAAyne70” scooped $3,221, of which $1,271 came from eliminating opponents, while “Liveline99” got their hands on $4,086 in total, which included 11 bounties.

Ontario Poker Championships #56-H Weekender

$20,000 was up for grabs in Event #56-H Weekender, an exciting tournament that saw 248 players enter across eight Day 1, each costing $75. The chunky prize pool resulted in the top four finishers padding their PartyPoker Ontario bankrolls with prizes in excess of $1,300.

Fourth-place finisher “JonnyJamz” won $1,328, with “donkfish3” receiving the $1,977 third-place payout. Heads-up was settled when “Farmer Ray” buried “VisTesReves” and captured the $4,048, resigning the runner-up to a $2,862 consolation prize.

We have to give a special mention to “VisTesReves” because they reached the final table in all three of the events mentioned in this article. That is an impressive feat; look out for them in the $50,000 Ontario Poker Championships Main Event because they are already through to Day 2 with a healthy stack.

Time’s Running Out to Enter the $50,000 Gtd Main Event

Time is rapidly running out if you want to become the Ontario Poker Championships Main Event champion. The $109 buy-in event has a whopping $50,000 guaranteed, but there are only a handful of Day 1s remaining before Day 2 commences on January 24. The Main Event is a PKO tournament, meaning you can win plenty of money at PartyPoker Ontario even if you do not reach Day 2 where the main prize pool is awarded.

“TimThompson” is the player to catch right now having turned their 100,000 starting stack into a tournament-leading 1,689,629 chips. The chip leader has already captured $175 worth of bounties and is guaranteed a min-cash, too!

Three other players, so far, return to the action armed with seven-figure stacks. “Captain_Verma” (1,491,178), “TDG13” (1,159,319), and “CatLover108” (1,091,846) ae that deep-stacked trio. Each has secured between $131 and $269 worth of bounties already, so are freerolling towards one of the Main Event’s largest prizes.

Don’t worry if the $109 buy-in is out of your reach because there are satellites running around the clock that start at only $0.01. In addition, there are $33 buy-in and $3.30 buy-in medium and low Main Events to get your teeth into. The former comes with a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool, with the latter coming with at least $2,000 in the pot. Good luck!
