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.

Final Level of Entry
Level: 8 (500/1,000/1,000) Entries: 46/74 Prizes: $21,090 There are about 25 minutes to play in Level 8 and this will be the final level of entry. Entries will remain open through the dinner break following this level with the desk shutting down at about 5 pm when Level 9 begins.

About 2 Hours Left to Enter
Level: 6 (300/600/600) Entries: 49/66 Prizes: $18,810 There are just under 10 minutes to play in Level 6 with the field now at 66 entries for prizes of nearly $19k. There are now just over two hours left to enter this game.

Turbo Side Event Set to Go
Level: 1 (100/100/100) Entries: 18/18 Prizes: $3,420 The side event is just getting set to start the clock with 18 players in their seats. That puts the prizes at just under $3,500 to start, but there’s a bit of a line at the entry desk so the numbers will go up fairly quickly I think.
-
Four More Levels of Entry
Level: 5 (300/500/500) Entries: 49/56 Prizes: $15,960 There are 56 entries on the board as the players return for the start of Level 5. Entries will remain open through Level 8 and will close at the end of the dinner break following that level.
The prizes are now almost $16k, so it looks likely that we’ll see prizes of more than $20k before the entry desk shutters.
