2025 WSOPC Calgary Oct – Event #13: $250 Flip & Go

Scot Munro was leading the Flip & Go for most of the final day, but it turned around for him when they got three ways. Andrew MacDonald was second through a lot of the late action, but he started to surge after sending Mik Malm out in 6th place.

He also took the chips of Jason Chan (4th, $5,732) and Dallas Larson (3rd, $8,156), putting him in a big lead for heads-up play against Munro. The heads-up didn’t last long before the cooler came.

The flop was already out when I got back to the table after writing up Larson’s bustout hand, and Munro shoved to put himself at risk after a bet from MacDonald on the 6♣5♣4♦ flop. MacDonald called with a pair of sixes against the pocket kings for Munro, but more importantly, his 7♥6♥ was also open-ended. The J♥ turn was a brick, but the 8♥ river gave MacDonald the 8-high straight to crack Munro’s kings.

They are down to 4 remaining in the Flip & Go now, with a bit less than 15 minutes to play in Level 17. Ryan Cairns was the most recent casualty at the final table. I missed the action, but he was the shortest of the remaining players before I left the table.

Mike Malm was down to 195k. In a previous hand, Malm had the clock called after Dallas Larson shoved a 3♠J♥5♠ after he was in the tank for several minutes. He let the clock run out until his hand was dead, and Scot Munro, who was waiting for the action, folded right after to give Larson the pot.

Two hands later, Malm shoved the hijack, and got called by Ryan Cairns and Andrew MacDonald in the blinds. Cairns and MacDonald checked through the 5♦J♠K♠6♣9♠ board until the river, where Cairns check-folded to a bet of 200k from MacDonald.

Malm was on ace-seven of hearts, and was well behind the 10♠8♠ flush for MacDonald. Cairns said after the hand he had a small pair and also would have beaten Malm’s holdings, so even without the flush, Malm wasn’t surviving that hand.

Talal Shoush was the shortest of the final seven, with barely three big blinds coming back from break, and he finished in 7th place tonight shortly after they returned to the felt for Level 16.

Scot Munro is the big stack at the final table, and is the only player with more than 2 million. Andrew MacDonald, Jason Chan, and Dallas Larson all have more than 1 million.

The final table is down to 7 left now. Arya Ghai was the first to go, with the shortest stack. He’d been moving almost all in, but leaving 5k behind. Talal Shoush put him in for a chop, but shortly after he lost the rest,

Seamus McGearty was the second shortest, and he followed Ghai out.

Scot Munro looks to be the clear leader right now with about 1.7 million in front of him. Jason Chan looks to be second with 1.1 million, and it looks like they are the only two players with a million or more.

The Flip & Go field is down to 12 remaining now, with about 10 minutes to play in Level 11.

Calvin Lake shoved under the gun, and it folded around to Ryan Cairns on the button. He reshoved more, and once the blinds got out of the way, it was a race between his pocket nines and ace-king of hearts for Lake. The low board ran out 5♦7♣7♠2♥5♠, leaving the nines in the lead.

Ruoxiao Shi raised the button to 25k before Seamus McGearty three-bet the small blind for 61k. It folded back to Shi and he slid in the call.

McGearty fired 40k on the J♥9♠10♦ flop, and Shi called to the [invalid notations] river, where McGearty check-called for 50k, mucking his hand when Shi showed down J♠8♠ for top pair and the open-ended draw from the flop.

I’ve been getting some admin work cleaned up behind the scenes, so I haven’t had too much time to watch this game yet, but that should be changing when they return for Level 6 after the break. The full prizes will be posted under the Payouts tab throughout the day, with recent cashes posted with each new update.

The Go stage is on, with 50 players returning after 6 players found bags on Friday morning’s final round of flips. Zachary Farthing joined Scot Munro in the double-bag club with 320k, while everyone else started the day with 160k.

So far, the action has been predictably slow with 80 big blinds minimum to start the day, and it’ll be a few more levels yet before the blinds start being significant to the stack sizes.

2025 WSOPC Calgary Oct – Event #13: $250 Flip & Go ($205 + $45)

It’s nearly GO time in the Flip & Go. There were 360 entries so far across the four days of flips so far, and 45 players have at least 160k. Scot Munro is the only player with a double stack so far, but there’s still one more flip round to go on Friday morning.

The final round of flips runs at 10 AM on Friday, with the table open until noon. No prize details or seats will be available until then, but players can find their seat draws on the WSOP+ App shortly after noon on Friday. The prizes so far are more than $70k, and I’d expect that to push past $75k with Friday action
