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.
4 Mains, 3 Winners
So far this season there have been 4 Main Events recorded on the Pure Poker Tour. The first two this year were won by the red-hot Eric Wasylenko from Winnipeg, who also picked up another trophy and a second-place finish in the most recent series at Casino Yellowhead.
Local favorite Ryan Cairns took down the August Main Event after an epic four-handed battle that went into the wee hours of the morning, while Michael “Berny” Bernstein took down the most recent Main Event for the biggest live score of his life.
