PPT staff have barely had time to break down the tables from PPT #4 at Pure Casino Yellowhead and it’s almost time for the penultimate series of the 2024 season. Series #5 is across town at Pure Casino Edmonton and is a shortened schedule from the full series with just one week of poker action and 11 events.
The first PPT branded action for Series #5 kicks off at 1 pm Sunday, Oct 13 with a 1 in 10 satellite game for $T equivalent to entry in all open events for the series. Buy-in for the game is $430 ($390 + $40) and players start with 25k in chips for 30-minute levels.
There is more satellite action on Oct 14 with main series action kicking off on Oct 15 with the Seniors First at noon, an open NLH game starting at 4 pm, and a satellite game at 7 pm. That kicks off seven days of PPT action that includes the ever-popular 6-Max and PLO Big Bounty games as well as the two-flight Main Event and the $2k “Series Saver” High Roller to finish it out.

Comely’s Kings Cracked to the Rail
Level: 13 (1,500/3,000/3,000) Entries: 10/55 Prizes: $31,350 ($20,350 prizes, $11,000 bounties) They are down to 10 now after Tony Comely hit the rail. Nick Milkovich opened the pot with a limp under the gun before Brett Worton raised the button to 10k. Tony Comely put in a 4-bet to 34.5k, leaving less than that behind.
Milkovich mucked his hand, but Worton raised to put Comely all in, and he called it off with K♣K♠10♠6♠ against the low wrap for Worton with [7h5h4s2s]. Worton flopped the wheel draw and turned it for the win. That puts them on the final table bubble, but they are still 4 off the money spots.
