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.

Hand for Hand to the Bags
Level: 14 (2,000/4,000/4,000) Entries: 14/93 Prizes: $87,467 They are hand for hand now with the clock paused as they are one elimination away from the bags. They are currently playing the final hand of Level 14 so it looks likely they’ll bring out the bags before the next break.

9 Off the Money
Level: 14 (2,000/4,000/4,000) Entries: 20/110 Prizes: They are now 9 players off the money spots with 20 players left in the Turbo side game. There are just over 10 minutes to play in Level 14 and the average stack is just over 20 big blinds.
-
Three Off the Bags
Level: 14 (2,000/4,000/4,000) Entries: 16/93 Prizes: $87,467 They are down to 16 left in Day 1a with about half of Level 14 complete. That puts them just three players off the end of the opening flight to the Main.
-
Final Two Tables
Level: 13 (1,500/3,000/3,000) Entries: 18/93 Prizes: $87,467 They are down to 18 players left on the final two tables now with just under 5 minutes to play in Level 13. That puts them five eliminations away from the bags, so it’s an open question now whether they’ll make the next break following Level 15 or not. Even if they do, it’s unlikely they’ll play much later than Level 16 tonight.

Final Level of Entry for Turbo
Level: 8 (500/1,000/1,000) Entries: 46/105 Prizes: $17,955 There are about 20 minutes left to enter the Turbo game and the field has just recently cracked 100 entries for prizes just shy of $18k. There will be a break following this level in about 5 minutes, and when they return for Level 9 and about 9:15 pm, entries will closed and the field will be set.
Expect fast action to the end once the entry desk is closed.

The field is now down to 23 remaining, just 10 eliminations off the end of the night. I’ll have a look around at the break and grab chip counts for the remaining players.
