Pure Poker Tour Series #5 – Event #1: $340 Seniors First

They are down to 4 remaining now after Mick Enzie busted in 5th. I’ve just finished the FT pictures for Event #2 so I should be able to get back to the Seniors action now.

They are down to five on the Seniors FT after Roy Bjorklund took 6th place tonight. I missed the action while getting pics of the Turbo FT.

They are down to six left on the final table of the Seniors game after the reigning champion Ron Taylor busted out in 7th place.

They are down to seven now. Parker Hrushka woke up with king-queen early and shoved for 129k. It folded to small blind Brett Worton who reshoved a covering stack before the big blind got out of the way.

Worton was in good shape with big slick, but there was a lady on the J♣5♠Q♣ flop but it also left Worton drawing to Broadway. The 4♠ turn was a brick, but 10♥ on the river was the nuts for Worton and sent Hrushka out in 8th place.

They are now officially in the money after Grant Strand hit the rail in 9th place. He collected some bubble cash from the other players, but missed out on the official cash list. He shoved the small blind on a flop of 10♣5♦6♥ and Kim Graham tank called from the big. Strand was on seven-eight for open-ended with a backdoor flush draw while Graham had ace-five and a flopped pair of fives. 6♦ on the turn and river bricked out for Strand and he busted in 9th place tonight.

Below is a look at how the remaining eight players stack up with Level 17 about to get underway.

They are down to the final table now with nine players left. I’ll grab complete chip counts at the break in about 10 minutes, but pictures and names for the final table can be found under the Images tab.

They are on the bubble to the final table now with 10 players left. Wayne Withers was the most recent casualty tonight. They’ll set up the final table after the next elimination but there will still be one player to go before money starts getting handed out.

They are down to 11 left now, three off the money with the recent eliminations of Harvey Johnson, Bob Jeancart, and Daniel MacNaughton. There are about 15 minutes to play in Level 15, so it looks like they’ll be in the money before the next break, or shortly after Level 17 begins.

They are down to 14 remaining now after George Virus, who was leading the counts after the dinner break, hit the rail 7 spots shy of tonight’s money.

The action was complete with Brett Worton and Brian Fujimoto all in and Worton at risk. Worton had pocket sevens against pocket sixes for Fukimoto and the board didn’t change anything. Fujimoto had the slightly bigger stack but was left with less than 10k behind after sending the double across the table, but he lost that shortly after to hit the rail in 16th tonight.
