2025 Spring Super Stack – Event #10: $560 Megastack NLH

The final three players decided on a deal that saw chip leader Michael Bladwin secure $27,500 and the win, while Tony Ma and JJ Johnstone each earned $18,500 today, with Ma taking second place and Johnstone on the bronze medal spot.

Michael Baldwin has 4.75 million right now, with only 8.4 million in play. Tony Ma is second with 1.855 million, while JJ Johnstone has 1.77 million in third.

Leo Aiello just hit the payout desk for 4th place worth $10,640. He jammed his button for about 1.4 million with queen-ten but ran into the kings for small blind Michael Bladwin. The runout hit Aiello’s queen, but he couldn’t find anything and ended his day in 4th place.

He was the short stack at the table in recent times, but he’d come back from 60k earlier in the day to ladder into 4th place.

Tony Ma raised to 175k under thegun, and JJ Johnstone called to see A♠5♦6♠ on the flop. Ma check-called for 200k and then checked again on the J♣ turn, then tank-folded to a bet of 350k.

“You won’t believe what I foded,” Ma said. He didn’t show the hand, but said he had pocket kings.

Leonardo Aiello limped in from the button, and both blinds came along to the 7♣3♣10♣ flop. The all checked through to the 3♠ turn where Michael Baldwin checked the small blind before Tony Ma made it 100k to go. Aiello folded but Baldwin came over the top to 300k. Ma called to see 5♥ on the river.

They both checked it. “I win,” Ma said, rolling over 10♠7♠ for the flopped two pair. Bladwin shook his head and showed A♦3♦ for the turned trips and the win.

It was a rollercoaster ride for Raj Sabanathan today at the final table as he occupied both ends of the chip list at various times. I missed the final action as I was out of the room, but he recently lost a huge flip to Leonardo Aiello to leave him as the short stack at the table, then busted shortly after.

Leonardo Aiello open-shoved 925k under the gun and it folded to Raj Sabanathan in the big blind. He called and it was a not-so-classic race between A♠8♣ for Aiello and J♠10♠ for Sabanathan.

The 9♣A♦J♣10♦7♦ board was a rollercoaster as Aiello flopped his ace, Sabanathan turned two pair, and Aiello rivered the straight for the win. That puts Aiello up to about 2 million with Sabanathan down to about 1 million now.

Raj Sabanathan is the chip leader at the dinner break, and he’s the only player with more than 2 million now, but no one is particularly short at the moment with Michael Baldwin on the short stack with 1.38 million, which is still more than 25 bigs coming back from dinner with blinds at 25k/50k/50k.

Dinner Stacks

Michael Baldwin raised to 80k under the gun and Leonardo Aiello called. They both checked the 10♠9♥6♣ flop and Aiello led the A♣ turn for 115k. Baldwin called to the 2♠ river and Aiello led again, this time for 125k. Baldwin came over the top to 400k and forced Aiello to fold.

Leonardo Aiello opened the button to 100k and Michael Baldwin called from the small blind before Antonio Ma three-bet to 350k. Aiello mucked his hand before Baldwin shipped in a covering stack. Ma nearly beat him into the pot with the call, showing pocket aces against ace-jack for Baldwin. The board was clean for the aces and Ma chipped up to about 1.7 million with Baldwin now down under 1 million.

The players are taking a dinner break following this level, and I’ll grab full counts then, but Raj Sabanathan looks to be the current leader.

Raj Sabanathan raised to 80k under the gun and Michael Bladwin called from the big blind. They both checked it through the K♦8♦2♣2♦J♥ until the river where Baldwin fired 160k. After a few seconds in the tank, Sabanathan called but mucked when Baldwin showed J♦J♣ for the riverboat.

Leonardo Aiella opened with a limp under the gun, and Matt Kwong called from his left before Michael Baldwin raised it to 120k. Aiello called before Kwong shoved 355k. Baldwin reshoved a covering stack and Aiello got out of the way.

It was a classic race between A♣K♠ against the pocket fours for Kwong. Baldwin spiked a king on the flop and an ace on the turn for two pair while the board missed Kwong’s hand completely.

The NLH Megastack is down to 6 players left now as Caleb Simmons finished his run today in 7th place. I missed the action while I was getting some dinner.

Doug Lee came to Day 2 as the chip leader, but he just got coolered out of the game in 8th place. While I missed the final action, Lee took a huge hit a couple of hands ago when he shoved over a raise from Raj Sabanathan and got the call. Lee was huge with pocket kings, and was in great shape against the ace-queen for Sabanathan. Poker is a fickle game, however, and Sabanathan found an ace on the river to crack the kings and leave Lee on about 10 bigs, which he lost a couple of hands later.

There is a ton of action on the final table now and Raj Sabanathan just jumped into the lead with about 2.5 million after Doug Lee hit a huge double against Caleb Simmons.

In the first hand, Lee shipped about 30 bigs from the button with eight-nine, and ran into queens for Simmons. Lee flopped open-ended and turned the straight to crack the queens and double.

A couple of hands later, Raj Sabanathan was all in again with ace-queen against pocket kings for Doug Lee, and Sabanathan spiked his ace on the river for a huge pot. That left Lee on less than 300k while Sabanathan is up to about 2.5 million after being nearly felted about an hour ago.

Raj Sabanathan is riding a bit of a rollercoaster today as he’s just managed to double again up to more than a million. Not long ago, he was on fumes with barely 100k in front of him, but then he grabbed a couple of doubles to get up to ~600k.

He just three-bet shoved over a limp from Leonardo Aiella and a raised to 75k from Michale Baldwin. Aiella got out of the way, but Baldwin snap-called with pocket kings.

Sabanathan was in trouble, and said he was clearly hoping for folds. He had Q♦9♦ but the runout of J♣9♥A♦Q♠6♥ double-paired him on the turn to crack the kings and get a double. He’s now up to more than a million while Baldwin is still playing about 1.5 million.

They are down to 8 now after “The Rock” ended his day in 9th shortly after the break. I missed the action as I was out of the room for a minute. “The Rock” prefers not to have his picture or full details published.

Michael Baldwin is leading the way at the break as the only player with more than 2 million chips, but there are a couple of other millionaires at the table as well now.

Raj Sabanathan was nearly out the door after doubling up JJ Johnstone. He grabbed a quick double back to 327k, then got that in from the hijack before cutoff Doug Lee reshoved to isolate.

Sabanathan had the best ace with A♦10♠ but Lee was suited with A♣7♣. Lee called for clubs, but the A♠Q♠10♦8♣Q♥ runout gave Sabanathan the pair of tens and double to around 700k now, right back into the game.

JJ Johnstone just grabbed a double in a blind-on-blind hand. He shoved the small blind and Raj Sabanathan called with a bit more from the big blind. Sabanathan was suited with K♣8♣ while Johnstone was marginally ahead with A♠5♥. The Q♠10♠10♥9♥7♠ board was clean for the ace-high and Johnstone doubled up to about 660k while Sabanathan is now down to about 150k.

They’ll be heading out for another break in about 10 minutes, and I’ll do another round of full chip counts them.

Michael Baldwin just took the lead with more than 2 million in front of him after making a huge river call. The hand started as a 5-way pot after Baldwin made it 40k early and got four calls.

The flop was K♣4♥9♣ and action checked to Raj Sabanathan, who fired 125k into the pot. That pushed out “The Rock” in the big blind before Baldwin smooth-called it. Antonio Ma and JJ Johstone backed away to leave them heads-up to the 3♦ turn.

Baldwin check-called for 250k and the clubs came on the 10♣ river. Baldwin checked once more, and Sabanathan slid out a bet of 600k, most of what Baldwin had left behind. Baldwin hit the tank for about a minute, and finally slid out the call. Sabanathan showed pocket sizes while Baldwin was on [KsQc[/pcn] for top pair and a nice blocker to the clubs.

“Once I start bluffing, I can’t stop,” Sabanathan said with a smile as he was left with about 300k in front of him while Baldwin has more than 2 million.

They are down to nine left now after Peter Amic was the first player off the final table today. I missed the action while writing the Aiello double, but Amic earned $2,660 for his couple of days of “work”.

Raj Sabanathan opened to 32k from the middle before Leonardo Aiella shoved 64k from the button. It folded back to Sabanathan who snapped it off.

It was a classic race between A♣Q♠ and pocket deuces for Aiello. Aiello let out a sigh when the queen came on the 9♠Q♥5♦ flop, but then loudly cheered the duck on the turn as the board ran out 2♠K♣ to keep him alive. Aiello chipped up to about 170k while Sabanathan is still doing fine with about 900k in front of him.

Here is a look at the final table players, with Todd “The Rock” not included by request.

They are down to the final table of ten players now with John Hansmeyer as the final table bubble player. He shoved his last 100k with ace-eight, but the big blind woke up with pocket tens. Hansmeyer spiked his ace on the flop but it was just stringing him along as there was a ten on the river to set up the big blind for the win.

Place	Player	Prize
11	Johnathan Hansmeyer	$2,394
12	Aidan Klingbeil	$2,128

They are on the final table bubble now with 11 players left. Aidan Klingbeil was the most recent casualty from the game in 12th place for $2,128, and after the next elimination, they’ll be at the 10-handed final table.

They are down to 12 left in Day 2 of the NLH Megastack now after Tarik Mazari and Ryan Callahan lost their stacks recently. I missed the action while updating the PLO Megastack, which is playing out alongside this one today.

Place	Player	Prize
13	Ryan Callahan	$1,995
14	Tarik Mazari	$1,862

Mattt Kwong raised to 25k from the cutoff and Raj Sabanathan called from the big blind. They both checked the ppcn]Ts4sJh[/pcn] flop, but Sabanathan led for 25k on the Q♦ turn.

Kwong called to the 6♠ river, where Sabanathan sized up to 125k. Kwong hit the tank for about 30 seconds before sliding out the call. His J♦3♦ was good against the 9♣7♥ bluff from Sabanathan

They are down to 14 now after Andy Truong lost his chips recently while I was writing the previous hand. Full prizes to date are under the Payouts tab with the most recent busts listed below.

Place	Player	Prize
15	Andy Truong	$1,729
16	Sebastien Fallu	$1,663

Tariq Mazari opened to 25k early, and it folded around to Caleb Simmons in the big blind, who slid out a call. They both checked the K♠10♣5♣ flop and Simmons check-called for 25k on the 9♣ turn. Simmons check-called again on the 5♥ river, this time for 80k.

Mazari showed pocket sixes, but Simmons was on K♦6♣ for top pair and the win. Sebastien Fallu busted on the other table while this hand was playing out, bringing the game down to 15 left.

They are down to 16 left after Kim Pham hit the rail for 17th place shortly before the break. Antonio Ma is the chip leader at the moment with 1.057 million in play, but Michael Baldwin is close behind with more than a million as well. See below for the all the chip counts from the final 16 players.

They are down to 17 left on the final two tables now. There is a break coming up in about 20 minutes at the end of this level, and I’ll do a full round of chip counts while they are away from the tables.

26	Ryan Smith	$1,330
27	Kevin Kondro	$1,264
28	Ali Razzaq	$1,264

There was an early exit this morning after a huge hand with two pairs of kings and a pair of aces. John Hansmeyer had the aces and held to stay alive with a triple. Ali Razzaq was the unfortunate player on the short stack with kings, and he hit the cage for the first payout of the day.

The final day of play for the $560 Megastack is now set, with Doug Lee leading the way. Lee, who is the second-winningest player in Alberta just behind Thomas Taylor, bagged nearly 1 million chips in Day 1b for the overall lead. He’s nearly 300k in front of the 1a leader, Raj Sabanathan, who will start Day 2 second in chips. Leonardo Aiello, Aidan Klingbeil, and Michael Baldwin (who all bagged 1b) round out the top five stacks for the final day.

Over the two starting days, the game got 280 total entries. That put the prizes at $133,000, and there are 28 players still alive looking to claim a slice of that pie. They reconvene at noon on Thursday (players are asked to be in the room for 11:45 so play can start on time) to finish it out with more than $31k up top for the winner. See below for a look at the final table prizes and the Day 2 stacks sorted by Table/Seat, and by name.
