Jeffery Clarke and Jody Ashton Chop the Money
I didn’t have any time to watch this game as this finished just as the marathon bubble in the 6-Max burst. However, I was able to chat with the two players who chopped and they made an even chop with Jeff Clarke taking the official will and Jody Ashton packing the trophy home to Ontario.

Final Table
Level: 16 (3000/6000/6000) Entries: 9/74 Prizes: $14,060 The side game is at the final table now, one off the money spots. I’m still following Day 1 of the 6-max so I don’t have eyes on the chips in this one but Amr Samy looks to have the biggest stack.

15 Minutes to Enter
Level: 9 (600/1200/1200) Entries: 40/72 Prizes: $13,680 I got the times wrong for late entry on this game as I had the blind length wrong. Level 9 has just finished and entries are closed in less than 15 minutes when they sit down to Level 10. The field is currently at 72 entries with 40 remaining for $13,680 in prizes.

53 Entries to Start Level 7
Level: 7 (400/800/800) Entries: 41/53 Prizes: $10,070 Level 7 has just begun and the field is at 53 entries for just over $10k in prizes. Entries are still open for about two hours.
-
35 Entries in Level 3
Level: 3 (200/300/300) Entries: 33/35 Prizes: $6,650 There are still more than 3 hours left to enter the game with the field now at 35 entries. That puts the prizes at $6,650 with 33 players still at the felt looking for a piece. Given the low buy-in, I expect a lot of rebuys for this one so the numbers should grow quite a bit before 10:15.
-
23 Entries in Level 1
Level: 1 (100/100/100) Entries: 23/23 Prizes: $4,370 The prize pool is closing in on $5k with Level 1 still underway. There are 23 entries on the board so far with Level 2 about to start in less than 5 minutes.

Turbo on the Side for Monday Night
Event: Event #9: $230 NLH Turbo ($200 + $30) Date: Nov 25, 6 PM Blinds: 20 MInutes Starting Stack: 20k Late Entry: 9 Levels (~10:15 PM) Day 1 Ends: One-Day Event The side game on Monday is an NLH Turbo game that starts at 6 pm. There will be about four and a quarter hours of late entry with the desk shutting down at around 10:15 PM.
Players buy in for 20k in chips and will play 20-minute levels until a winner is decided. This is a one-day event, so they’ll hand out the trophy before play concludes late tonight.
As expected, this is the side game tonight so I won’t be watching it very closely until the 6-Max bags for the night. Once that happens, I’ll jump across to this one to finish it off.
