Level: 21 (10000/20000/20000) Entries: 4/73 Prizes: $49,932 Garett Maybery raised to 60k from the small blind and Andy Truong called from the big. It all kicked off on the [invalid notations] flop when Maybery shoved and Truong called with a bit more.
Garett Maybery: A♦J♦7♠2♠
Andy Truong: K♣10♣5♠3♠Truong had a pair of threes with flush and open-ended draws while Maybery was playing a jack with the bigger flush draw. Maybery turned a seven for two pair and though Truong rivered two pair on the 7♦5♦ runout, it was smaller than Maybery’s.

Level: 20 (8000/16000/16000) Entries: 5/73 Prizes: $49,932 There hasn’t been a lot of showdowns since they got five ways with most pots ending before a flop. In a recent hand, Myles Budd potted from the button to 40k, but then folded when Andy Truong repotted it to 128k from the big blind.

PLO Bounty Action on the Friday Side
Event: #13: $340 PLO Bounty ($200 + $100 + $40) Dates: Nov 15, 7 PM Blinds: 20 Minutes Start Stack: 25k Late Entry: 9 Levels (~10:30 PM) Day 1 Ends: One-Day Event The side game on Friday is the PLO Bounty. For $280, players get 25k to start and will play 20-minute levels throughout the event.
The action kicks off at 7 PM and players will have until about 10:30 PM to buy in or rebuy (start of Level 10). This is a one-day event so they’ll play until one player has all the chips.
$200 of the buy-in will go into the prize pool with a $100 bounty on each player’s head. This is a standard bounty event, so every bounty will be worth $100 from start to end.
Most of my attention early will be on the Main Event’s opening flight. Once they bag up (by 11:30 at the latest) and I finish my admin work, I’ll finish off my night following this one.

Mike Malm extended his lead in the Alberta Poker Index Player of the Year race over Weston Pring, and he did it on his birthday for a very nice birthday present.

Main Event Time!
Event: #12: $1,500 Superstack ($1,350 + $150) Dates: Day 1a: Nov 15, Noon
Day 1b: Nov 16, Noon
Day 2: Nov 17, NoonBlinds: 40/60 Minutes Start Stack: 30k Late Entry: 9 Levels (~7:15 PM) Day 1 Ends: 15 Levels or 10% of the Field (Max ~11:30 PM) The Superstack Main Event is on deck with the opening flight starting on Friday at noon. Players get 30k in chips to start and they’ll play 40-minute levels on Day 1.
There are 9 levels to get into the game or rebuy, putting the final chance to enter at about 7:15 PM. There are 15 levels on the schedule for Day 1 and, if they go the distance, the bags are likely to come out around 11:30 PM. However, they may bag up early if the field plays down to 10% of the total.
Friday plays host to Day 1a, while Day 1b will run on Saturday. All the qualifying players will return on Sunday and, in theory, they should all be in the money assuming both Day 1s play down to 10% of the field. That isn’t a guarantee, however, so it’s possible they’ll return on Sunday with work to do before the money. Time, and poker, will tell.
This will be my main focus on Friday until the bags come out.
