Jan 23, 2020, 5:03 AM
Event #10 of the World Cup of Cards, the $100 + $10 Crazy Pineapple 8-Max Re-entry, featured a $6,000 prize pool guarantee and unlimited re-entries during the late registration period. There were a total of 62 entries, including 12 re-entries, which pushed the prize pool to just meet the guarantee and award a total of $6,014 to the top eight players. The tournament moved at a rapid pace with an array of different chip leaders as the night progressed. Once the late registration period closed, there were a series of eliminations that narrowed the field to the final table in an instant. Jordano Mascaro finished in third place for $925, leaving Normand Plessis Belair and Didier Delvil heads-up for the top spot. The final hand saw Plessis Belair shove all in pre-flop which Delvil called. Board Plessis Belair Delvil While both players could make a pair of sevens, it was Delvil’s […]

Jan 23, 2020, 3:16 AM
Day 1B of the $200 + $20 Grand Prix Canada attracted a total of 179 entries (including 53 re-entries). Play was action packed and stacks started to get built right from the start. Having unlimited re-entries allowed some of the players to take some chances and for a few of them, it paid off nicely. There were two all in hands on two different tables when the tournament was on the bubble and the bustout hand happened when Alexandre Henry three-bet with and was taken all in by Adam Hussen who was holding . The board ran out and Henry exited just shy of bagging for Day 2. Michele Pengue was on top of the leaderboard for most of the night and in the end he bagged the lead with an impressive 1,876,000 chips.

Roll the Dice Champion: Darrel Peters
Jan 22, 2020, 5:26 AM
Event #8 of the 2020 World Cup of Cards, the $200 + $20 Roll the Dice 8-Max Re-entry tournament attracted a total of 57 entries, allowing the $8,000 guaranteed prize pool to grow to $11,058. This is always one of the most fun events as the player on the button gets to “roll the dice” to determine which variant of the game will be played. Each number on the die corresponds to one of six different choices. The six available games are: NLHE, PLO, 5-Card PLO, NL Pineapple, NL Crazy Pineapple and “player’s choice” (the player gets to chose which one of the five variants that they want to play). Fans of Omaha love this event as it allows for both four and five card action. Nick “NTG” Nickoletopoulos took the early lead and stayed on the leaderboard for most of the night. By the time the second break arrived, […]
$100 + $10 Single Rebuy Champion: Olivier Lamarre
Jan 22, 2020, 4:59 AM
Event #7 of the 2020 World Cup of Cards, the $100 + $10 Single Rebuy, had a total of 90 entries (including 27 re-entries). The prize pool guaranteed $10,000 but was able to reach a total of $11,349 to be distributed among the top 12 finishers. This exciting event allowed players only one re-entry before the late registration period closed which pushed the pace and saw the field shrink rapidly. The chip leaders varied throughout the night, with only a few able to hang on through the quick eliminations following the third break. Right before the bubble burst, the top 13 competitors agreed to a bubble deal which would take $10 from each payout to give the 13th finisher $130. An ICM deal was also reached once the field was down to five, which would award the winner an additional $504. Micheal Azaam Hakim finished in third place to go home with […]
Deepstack Turbo Re-entry Champion: Daniel Andelman
Jan 21, 2020, 8:55 PM
Event #6 of the World Cup of Cards, the $100 + $10 Deepstack Turbo Re-entry, attracted a field of 90 entries that built a prize pool that far exceeded the $5,000 guarantee. In all, there was $8,730 in prize money for the top 12 players. This event kept up a torrid pace throughout most of the afternoon, sending players to the rail one after the other. But once the field reached the final table, the dynamics changed entirely. Longtime chip leader Steven Duguay ran out of steam, and the quickly mounting blinds led to chip lead changing hands several times. In the end, it was Daniel Andelman who capitalized at the final table. Andelman had flown under the radar for most of the afternoon but made the most of his opportunities at the final table. In the end, everything was up for grabs in the three-way battle between Andelman, Dave […]
6-Max 50/50 Bounty Re-entry Champion: Martin Millette
Jan 21, 2020, 5:47 AM
Event #5 of the 2020 World Cup of Cards, the $100 + $20 + $100 6-Max 50/50 Bounty Re-entry, had a total of 209 entries. The prize pool guarantee of $20,000 was more than doubled, with $40,546 ($19,646 in payouts plus $20,900 in bounties) awarded. The evening was action-packed and full of excitement as players hunted for those $100 bounty chips. The chip lead changed hands many times throughout the evening. Once the money bubble burst, the eliminations happened in rapid succession until the 7-handed final table was formed. On the final table the blinds were starting to get large, and six of the seven players had almost identical stacks. Because of this dynamic, the players agreed to an ICM chop that left an additional $835 for the eventual tournament champion. The following table lists the ICM payouts. As soon as play resumed, there was a series of bustouts. Eventually, […]
