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.

76 Unofficial Entries
Level: 9 (600/1,200/1,200) Entries: 32/76 Prizes: $36,100 Entries are now closed for the 6-Max with 76 entries on the board. I’m still waiting for that to be confirmed, but if it holds it means 8 players will split $36,100 at the end of the night tonight. Payouts should be posted shortly, and I’ll confirm all the numbers then.

Main Event Time!
Event: Event #7: $1,100 Main Event ($990 + $110) Date: Day 1a; Oct 18, Noon
Day 1b: Oct 19, Noon
Day 2: Oct 20, 1 pm
Day 3: Oct 21, TBA if requiredBlinds: 40/60 Min Starting Stack: 30,000 Late Entry: 9 Levels (~7:15 pm) Day 1 Ends: 12.5% of the field plus 1 Friday is the first Main EVent day for PPT #5 with Day 1a kicking off at noon on the 18th. Entries will be open on Day 1 for 9 levels, which should mean the final entry will be about 7:15 pm if they start on time.
Day 1 play continues until players are in the money at 12.5% of the starting field so there is no hard stop on the Day 1 flights anymore. Further, players can play and bag in both flights, with the smallest bag earning a min-cash on Day 2 while the player plays the bigger stack as deep as they can.
Day 1 flights to the Main run on Friday and Saturday with Day 2 action on Sunday, and a Monday Day 3 if required.

There are still more than 3 hours left to enter this one, and the entries will likely pick up after the 6-Max returns from dinner with entries closed, so expect these numbers to jump fairly dramatically over the next few hours.

NLH On the Side for Thursday
Event: Event #6: $340 NLH ($300 + $40) Date: Oct 17, 4 pm Blinds: 30 Min Starting Stack: 20,000 Late Entry: 8 Levels (~8:30 pm) The side game on Thursday is an NLH game starting at 4 pm. Players sit down with 20k in chips to play 30-minute levels throughout the day.
Late entries are open for 8 levels, putting the last chance to enter at about 8:30 pm tonight. This is the side game with Event #5: PLO BIg Bounty as my main focus for the day, so this one won’t get much attention until after E5 ends.

PLO Big Bounty Game for Thursday
Event: Event #5: $670 PLO Big Bounty ($400 + $200 + $70) Date: Oct 17, 1 pm Blinds: 30 Minutes Starting Stack: 30,000 Late Entry: 8 Levels (~5:45 pm) Thursday is four-card day on the PPT this time around with the PLO Big Bounty starting at 1pm as the main game. Players start with 30k in chips to play 30-minute levels until a winner is decided. They’ll play 8 levels with the registration desk still open, and the last chance to enter or rebuy should be around 5:45 pm.
This will be my main focus for Thursday, and I have every expectation that it will run very late. Wednesday was also a very late one for me, so I’ll likely be late to the floor for this one.
