It was the penultimate day of action at the 2025 Spring Super Stack at Deerfoot Inn & Casino, and the Chrome room was pretty full for Day 1b of the Main Event and the NLH Turbo side game in the evening.
Double-ring and bracelet winner Jerry Li will take the big stack into the final day of play in the Main Event after he bagged more than 650k on Day 1a. Later on in the evening, west-coast player Juan Riedinger bagged his third lifetime win on the live felt in Event #16.
Day 2 of the Main Event is Set with 52 Players Returning
| Event 14: | $1,500 Super Stack (Main) ($1,350 + $150) |
| Date: | Day 1a: Apr 11, Noon Day 1b: Apr 12, Noon Day 2: Apr 13, Noon |
| Blinds: | 60 Minutes |
| Starting Stack: | 40k |
| Entries: | 309 |
| Prizes: | $396,293 |
Day 2 of the Main Event is set, but it’s going to take some time before anyone gets paid. Both opening flights went the distance in this one, ending with well over 10% of the field remaining.
That means 52 players are returning on Sunday to battle for 31 paid spots. There should have been 53 players coming back as there were 20 bags from 1a and 33 bags from 1b, but Colten Yamagishi owns one from each day of play, and he can only play one of them on Day 2.
Jerry Li has the big stack, which he secured at the end of Day 1a. Trevor Argue was the big stack from the second flight, but he’s still about 80k behind Li. Tyler Hurman, Saeed Ganji, and Yan-Erick Codere round out the top five stacks for Day 2.

| Player | Chips |

| Jerry Li | 658,000 |
| Trevor Argue | 571,000 |

Juan Riedinger Earns First Canadian Flag
Juan Riedinger’s Hendon Mob page is pretty long, with results as far back as 2012 but a flurry of cashes since 2022. Curiously, for someone from Canada’s west coast, all of his previous results have an American flag beside them.
That changed on Saturday night as he earned his first Maple Leaf on Hendon by taking down the NLH Turbo. It was far from his biggest score, with more than $175k for a runner-up spot in Los Angeles in 2022, but he will probably slot in 8th or 9th on his long list of cashes once it’s converted to USD.
More than $950k in Prizes with One Event to Go
It’s been a pretty big series so far here at Deerfoot. The final numbers aren’t quite in yet, but with one event still to go, the total prizes are just shy of $960k with almost 2,000 entries across the 16 events run so far.
It will take a pretty big field in Sunday’s final event to cap the $1 million mark for total prizes, but it’s not out of the question. On the other hand, they only need 12 entries in E17 to cap 2k entries for the series, which seems like a lock.
