2025 Pure Poker Tour Series #4 – Event #11: $300 NLH Deepstack Hyper

Event #10 was the main game today, and as expected, the structure of this one didn’t allow me to watch any of it. Jeff Clarke and Shane Hall played a relatively short heads-up match. They started pretty close in stacks, but Clarke had led the way for most of the final table.

This was Clark’s first PPT trophy, though technically, he gave one up last year in Event #9 at the Tournament of Champions. He won that event, but his heads-up opponent, Jody Ashton, had travelled in from Ontario, and he really wanted to take a trophy home, so Clarke made a deal to take the win, but let Ashton pack up the crystal.

This time, Clarke kept the trophy and won the game outright for his second live win.

They are now heads up in the side game with Jeff Clarke and Shane Hall. I’m still not watching this one very closely, but it looks like they are pretty close in stacks right now.

Place	Player	Prize
3	Tony Saysana	$2,750
4	Stephen Dauphinais	$1,720
5	Jessy-Gene Farmer	$1,030
6	Maurice Power	$685
7	Paul Meyer	$513

I’m still watching the money round of EVent #10 most closely, so I don’t have a good handle on all the chips in this one, but it looks like Jeff Clarke is the clear leader with more than a million in front of him.

Alex Polkovsky bubbled the money tonight, while Paul Meyer took the first pay spot, all while I was processing the pictures.

They are down to 12 left in the Deepstack Hyper, and as I expected, it looks like this will finish before Event #10 does. They still need to lose five more players here before they are in the money, and I’ll be sure to get the results updated, but I’m not sure how much action I’ll catch here before the end of the game.

The final numbers for the Deepstack Hyper are in, and the field ended with 67 entries today, for prizes of a bit more than $17k. Seven players will get a share of that later tonight, with $6,191 for the winner.

The prizes are over $10k in the Deepstack Hyper with 40 entries on the board. About 5 minutes remain in Level 6, with a break scheduled following this level, and five more levels of open entry after the break.

Event #11: $300 NLH Deepstack Hyper ($270 + $30)

The side game on Wednesday is the Deepstack Hyper NLH. For $300, players get 40k in chips to start, but blinds will be lightning fast at 15 minutes.

They’ll have 11 levels to enter or rebuy, with the desk set to close at the start of Level 12, around 8:15 PM tonight. I’m not sure how much coverage this game will get as it will likely finish before Event #10 does, given the speed of the blinds, but I’ll do my best to get the results and a winner’s photo up.

In July, this game got 106 entries for prizes of $27,189. Dae Kim powered through to take down the trophy after a three-way chop that included Ali Razzaq and Faton Bislimi. They agreed to an ICM chop based on chips, which gave Razzaq the most money, while Kim took the trophy and the official win.
