Deerfoot Inn & Casino is wrapping up the year with the Fall Super Stack series, a return to its signature poker event after a busy year of WSOP Circuit tournaments. Starting with live satellites on Nov 5, this classic Calgary poker event features a lineup of multi-day tournaments that include the $340 Deepstack, $560 Megastack, and the $1,500 Main Event Superstack.
This year’s schedule offers more than just the familiar No-Limit Hold’em events. The series includes a unique $1,100 Heads-Up match on Nov 11, PLO games for Omaha enthusiasts, a 6-Max PKO game, and a variety of other events such as a Mystery Bounty and a Seniors event, ensuring there’s something for everyone. With live coverage exclusively on PokerPro, players can follow all the action, starting with the opening flight of the $340 Deepstack on Nov 7.

Money Bubble
Level: 15 (3000/5000/5000) Entries: 10/85 Prizes: $24,225 ($11,475 prizes, $12,750 bounties) There are 10 players left in the Mystery Bounty now with just under 10 minutes to play in Level 15. That puts them 1 off the money and they’ve moved to a 10-handed final table to avoid hand-for-hand play.

Day 2 is Set with 40 Players Remaining
Event: #1: $340 Deepstack ($300 + $40) Dates: Day 1a: Nov 7, 2 PM
Day 1b: Nov 8. 2 PM
Day 1c, Nov 9, 2 PM
Day 2: Nov 10, NoonBlinds: 40 Min Entries: 40/370 Prizes: $105,450 1st Place: $23,199 Day 2 is now set and 1b leader Dale Posein is the leader for the final day of play with 445k. 1c leader Caleb Simmons will start Day 2 in second place with 430.5k. The rest of the top five, Ty Adams, Dave Howat, and Mal Hagan, all came from 1c as well.
Day 2 action gets underway at noon on Sunday and three players will have to go home empty-handed as 40 players are returning for 37 paid spots. That will be changing for the remaining multi-day games – the new structures will be posted with the event, but they now specify that 10% will go through to Day 2, ensuring that all players coming back are in the money for future multi-day events.
Blinds will be 40 minutes in length on Day 2, and they’ll play until a winner is decided. Stay tuned for the day 2 seats coming in the next post.

Simmons Leads 1c Stacks
Level: 17 (4000/8000/8000) Entries: 17/161 (40/370) Prizes: $45,885 ($105,450) Caleb Simmons is the big stack from Day 1c with 430,500 in his bag at the end of the night. That won’t quite be enough to take top spot for Day 2, as 1b leader Dale Posein bagged about 15k more than Simmons. Ty Adams was second for 1c with 425k with Dave Howat, Mal Hagan, and Paul Sokoloff rounding out the top five counts. Full 1c stacks are below, and I’ll have the Day 2 seats assignments posted in about half an hour in the Day 2 starting post.

Day 1c is Over
Level: 17 (4000/8000/8000) Entries: 17/161 (40/370) Prizes: $45,885 ($105,450) Day 1c is now complete with 17 players left with chips. It was Dave Howat who got them to the bags when he cracked pocket aces by hitting a straight. He flopped a gutty with ace-queen, turned a double gutty, then rivered the straight for the win.
I’ll update the bags for 1c shortly and get the Day 2 seat assignments posted shortly after that.

Hand-for-Hand
Level: 16 (3000/6000/6000) Entries: 18/161 (41/370) Prizes: $45,885 ($105,450) They are down to 18 players left now, one off the bags coming out, so play is now hand-for-hand. They will be playing hand-for-hand until another player is eliminated, even if that extends into Level 17 as once hand-for-hand starts, they need to finish it out.
Ty Adams looks like the chip leader now with about 420k in front of him, but Caleb Simmons isn’t far behind with almost 400k.
-
Final Two Tables
Level: 12 (1500/2500/2500) Entries: 18/85 Prizes: $24,225 ($11,475 prizes, $12,750 bounties) They are nine off the money now in the Mystery Bounty with 18 players left and Level 12 just beginning. Among the players still alive are Cardelle Szego, Jon Jacquard, Paul Bihlis, Melissa Sekulich, Alicia Dodds, Mike Malm, Geordi Lobe, and Todd Oakley.
-
Final Level of Play
Level: 16 (3000/6000/6000) Entries: 20/161 (43/370) Prizes: $45,805 ($105,450) Level 16 has just begun and this will be the final level of play no matter what. They are three eliminations away from an early end, but either way, the bags will come out by the end of this level.
-
Four from the Bags
Level: 15 (2500/5000/5000) Entries: 21/161 (44/370) Prizes: $44,885 ($105,450) They re down to 21 left with about 5 minutes to play in Level 15. Level 16 will be the final level of the day with 1c either ending when they hit 17, or at the end of Level 16.
-
24 Remain on Break
Level: 15 (2500/5000/5000) Entries: 24/161 (47/370) Prizes: $45,885 ($105,450) The 1c players are on the final break of 1c with the end of Level 14. There are 24 players left which puts them 7 eliminations off the end of the night so the bags will likely come out near the end of Level 15 or start of Level 16.

85 Entries Confirmed; $3,328 to the Winner
Level: 9 (1000/1000/1000) Entries: 30/85 Prizes: $24,225 ($11,475 prizes, $12,750 bounties) The numbers are official with 85 entries for the Mystery Bounty. That built a combined prize pool of $24,225 with $11,475 of that waiting for prizes at the end of the night. The winner is set to pocket $3,328 with a total of 9 players sharing in the prizes.
The field required a rejig of the posted bounty amounts as there were fewer than 120 entries. The bounties for tonight will be as follows:
Colour Value Green $2,678 Green $2,678 Pink $2,168 Orange $1,594 Yellow $1,084 Blue $638 Blue $638 Blue $638 Blue $638 -
10 Off the Bags
Level: 14 (2000/4000/4000) Entries: 27/161 (50/370) Prizes: $45,885 ($105,450) The 1c field is down to 27 remaining with about 10 minutes to play in Level 14. They’ll go for a break following this level, then return for two more levels, in theory. In practice, they will most likely play down to 17 sometime in Level 15 or early 16 to end the night before the end of 16.
-
About 30 Minutes to Enter
Level: 8 (500/1000/1000) Entries: 36/76 Prizes: $21,660 ($10,260 prizes, $11,400 bounties) They are into Level 8 of the Mystery Bounty with 76 entries on the board for $21,660 in total prizes. They will go on a break following this level and entries will be closed when they return for Level 9.
-
161 Entries for 1c; 370 Total
Level: 13 (1500/3000/3000) Entries: 35/161 (58/370) Prizes: $45,885 ($105,450) The entries are closed and all the numbers are confirmed with 161 entries for today’s flight and 370 across all three starting days. That puts the final prizes at $105,450 with 37 players getting a piece of that. The winner is set to pocket $23,199 with two other players at the FT getting five-figure payouts. The min-cash for 37th is $791.
It should be noted that the payouts are provisional based on tonight’s finish. They will play down to 17 players left tonight for the bags to come out, and the prizes are accurate assuming that’s what happens. If they end up with more (ie, they play through the end of Level 16) or less (ie, more than one player busts during hand-for-hand) the payouts will need to be adjusted. Full provisional prizes will be posted under the payouts tab shortly.
-
Dinner Time
Level: 10 (800/1600/1600) Entries: 63/160 (86/369) Prizes: $45,600 ($105,165) The 1c players are on their dinner break now with entries set to close when they return in just over 40 minutes. The field for today is now at 160 entries for 369 in total and combined prizes of $105,165.
-
Nearing 60 Entries
Level: 4 (200/400/400) Entries: 59/59 Prizes: $16,815 ($7,965 prizes, $8,850 bounties) Level 4 is just underway in the Mystery Bounty with the field at 59 entries. That puts the combined prizes at almost $17k with almost $8k in the prize pool and $8,850 in bounties so far.
It’s possible that the big bounty calculations may have to be modified, depending on the final field. There are 12 big bounties according to the structure, but that would require at least 120 entries for the game. If the field doesn’t hit that number, the total number of big bounties will need to be adjusted to fit the field size.
-
15 Minutes to Dinner
Level: 10 (800/1600/1600) Entries: 63/158 (86/367) Prizes: $45,030 ($104,595) There are just under 15 minutes to play in Level 10 and that means the end of entries is about an hour away. The players will head out for the 45-minute dinner break after this level and entries will be closed when they return from dinner.
-
About 75 Minutes to Enter
Level: 9 (600/1200/1200) Entries: 63/153 (86/362) Prizes: $43,605 ($103,170) Level 9 is coming to a close and Level 10 will be the final level of poker before the end of entries. The desk is open throughout the dinner break but will be closed when they sit down for Level 11 at about 8:15 pm.
-
Second Break
Level: 9 (600/1200/1200) Entries: 72/151 (95/360) Prizes: $43,035 ($102,600) The payers are now on their second break of the day with the end of Level 8. The field is now up to 151 for 360 in total across all three starting days for combined prizes of $102,600.
-
26 Entries in Level 1
Level: 1 (100/100/100) Entries: 26/26 Prizes: $7,410 ($3,510 prize, $3,900 bounties) The Mystery Bounty is underway with 26 entries to start the day. Among the players in the mix early are Kyle Dery, Trevor Simpson, Seamus McGearty, Terry Langdon, Mike Malm, Melissa Sekulich, and Cardelle Arsenault (Szego).
