2026 Spring Super Stack – Event #11: $1,000 NLH 6Max

Stephen Dauphinais started heads up with a big lead over Colten Yamagishi, but Yamagishi put up a strong fight, getting back to even. In fact, when the big confrontation happened, Yamagishi was in front by 10k.

In the pivotal hand, Dauphinais raised the button to 90k, and Yamagishi called. It all kicked off on the Q♠J♥8♦ flop. Yamagishi checked, Dauphinais fired 160k, and Yamagishi shoved.

Daphinais called it off with top pair, holding queen-five, but Yamagishi was on two pair with jacks & eights. It looked like Yamagishi might take it down, until the 5♥ turn gave Dauphinais the bigger two pair. The river bricked, and when the stacks were counted down, Yamagishi was left with just two whites in front of him, worth 10k.

He managed to double up once, but the epic “two chips and a chair” story wasn’t to be. The final hand saw Yamagishi’s fumes go in with nine-seven off, and Dauphinais called it down with jack-five. The runout missed both hands, and Dauphinais took it down with jack-high.

Colten Yamagishi has about 1.1 million to 1.7 million for Stephen Dauphinais.

Kt was a huge cooler between the two big stacks. Stephen Dauphinais raised to 60k from the button, and Ronnie Dattani reraised to 200k from the big blind. Dauphinais called, and the flop was A♣Q♦7♣.

Dattani fired 80k, and Dauphinais called to the 4♦ turn. Dattani checked, Dauphinais bet 350k, Dattani shoved, and Dauphinais snapped it off.

Dattani was on a set of queens, while Dauphinais had two pair and the diamond draw with ace-seven of diamonds. The jack of diamonds on the river gave Dauphinais the flush and the win. He outstacked Dattani by about 100k, and they were heads up.

Most of the damage happened on a huge flip against Stephen Dauphinais. Jason Law raised the buttong to 70k, then called off when Dauphinais shoved the small blind.

It was a flip between sixes for Law and king-jack for Dauphinais. Law faded the flop, but Dauphinais ran out to trip jacks on the turn and river for the win. That left Law with just 30k, which went in two hands later in the big blind. Colten Yamagishi and Ronnie Dattani both called, but Yamagishi’s ten-deuce took down the pot when he flopped a pair of tens against Law’s jack-seven, which missed the board completely.

Ronnie Dattani just shoved the flop after Jason Law put out a big 200k bet. “I have pocket jacks,” Law said, chuckling at the queen-high flop. “Show the bluff,” he said as he folded.

Dattani didn’t oblige, sliding his cards to the muck as he collected the pot and took the chip lead.

After Stephen Dauphinais shoved his button, Ronnie Dattani woke up with aces in the big blind and snapped it off. The aces held to double Dattani’s 425k stack, leaving Dauphinais in 3rd place now.

Stephen Dauphinais made it 50k to go under the gun, and Jason Law called from the big blind. They both checked the 3♣K♥3♥ flop, and Law led for 60k on the K♠ turn.

Dauohinais called to see 4♥ on the river. Law fired for 140k, with Dauphinais calling quickly. “Jack high,” he said, showing just the jack. Dauphinais showed pocket tens for the win.

Stephen Dauphinais shoved his button, and Ronnie Dattani snapped it off from the big blind. Dattani was in good shape with pocket tens against king-nine off for Dauphinais. There wasn’t much of a sweat as Dattani flopped the set on 10♠6♦5♥7♠3♠. Dattani doubled from 200k, but Dauphinais is still playing about 1 million, with Jason Law on about 1.1 million. Colten Yamagishi is now the short stack.

Stephen Dauphinais shoved the cutoff, and after a bit of time in the tank, Daniel Lefebvre called off with a smaller stack. It was a fair fight between ace-ten of diamonds for Lefe and queen-jack off for Dauphinais.

Both players hit the flop on 10♣Q♦5♦8♥9♥. Lefe hit his ten and a diamond draw, but Dauphinais’s queen held for the win.

Jason Law opened to 40k under the gun, and Ronnie Dattani shoved a covering stack from the big blind. After some time in the tank, Law called off his stack for a race between his ace-ten of spades against Dattani’s pocket eights.

Dattani looked good through most of the runout to get the game four ways, but the river of 2♥3♦3♥4♥10♦ was just what Law needed to stay alive. He doubled his 355k stack, leaving Dattani with just over 400k.

Just before the break, Karim Chatur hit the rail for 6th place. I missed the action while I was out of the room.

Colten Yamagishi raised under the gun to 24k, and Daniel Lefebvre defended his big blind with a call. They both checked the 10♦J♦8♦ flop, and Lefebvre led for 50k on the 10♣ turn.

Yamagishis called to the 10♥ river, and they both checked it down. Lefebvre flopped the flush with five-deuce of diamonds, but Yamagishi paired his jack on the flop with jack nine, then ran out to the boat to take it down.

Dean Morrone was the first off the final table. He got his short stack in with pocket tens, and Daniel Lefebvre also got his short stack in with king-jack. Colten Yamagishi woke up with pocket sixes and called to put both short stacks at risk.

Yamagish smashed the 6♠K♣K♦ flop for sixes full, but both Lefebvre and Moronne were drawing live for bigger hands. Morrone bricked the 3♣J♠ runout, but the river jack hit “lucky Lefe” right where he needed it, giving him kings full and the pot.

They are just setting the final table now, with 7 players left.

Place	Player	Prize
8	Jae Lee	$3,112
9	Jamil Kanji	$2,723

Jae Lee limped the small blind, and big stack Jamil Kanji checked his option in the big. Lee fired 22k on the [invalid notations] on the turn. Lee counted out 48k and slid it in before Kanji tanked a bit, then shoved the big stack. It was Lee’s turn to hit the tank for a bit, but he ultimately folded to hold onto the rest of his stack, a bit more than 100k.

Jamil Kanji looks to be the leader with about 525k, but Jason Law and Ronnie Dattani are also playing around 500k. Below is a look at the final 9 players, all in the money.

The 6-Max game is in the money now, after Fraser Short ended his night on the bubble. He got it in with king-ten of diamonds, against king-eight of clubs for Jason Law. Law flopped an 8 as well as a club draw, then turned the clubs to take it down. The remaining players are now all guaranteed a piece of the prizes.

The 6-Max field is on the bubble at the end of Level 16, with 10 players left. The clock is paused with two minutes coming off manually for each hand played until the next elimination puts them in the money.

The 6-Max game just broke down to the final two tables, with 12 players remaining. That puts them 3 players away from the money spots, and 5 off the final table of 7.

The 6-Max is now down to 13 players left, with less than 5 minutes to play in Level 15. That puts them 4 players off the money spots, and 6 off the 7-handed final table.

There is one more level following this one before the next break, and it looks like there’s a good chance bubble play will start before that break.

The 6-Max field is down to 15 players left, with about 20 minutes to play in Level 15. There is one more level before the next break, and the field is now 6 away from the money spots.

The prizes are in, and the field is confirmed at 91 entries for prizes of $77,805. First place is set to pocket more than $22k, while the min-cash is almost 3x the buy-in at $2,723.

The final break of entry is now over, and the field is set for the 6-Max game. The final number on the board is 91, but I’m still waiting for that to be confirmed when the prizes come out. If it holds, it should mean 9 players getting a piece of $77,805 in prizes later tonight, with the first-place prize expected to be in the $15k range.

The final break of entries is nearly over, and the field is now at 88 entries, with 30 players still alive. There are still a few minutes for more entries, but it looks like they could be at the final field number. If so, it will mean 9 players splitting just over $75k later tonight.

The prizes are nearly at $75k with 87 entries on the board. Level 12 has just begun, meaning there are less than 45 minutes left to enter today’s game. It seems likely they’ll see a few more entries before it closes for a final field in the low 90s.

Level 10 has just begun, which means there are three more levels, plus a break, before the registration desk closes at about 8:45 PM tonight. The field is now at 82 entries for prizes of just over $70k.

The pace of entry has slowed a bit recently, so 100 is looking a little less likely now, but 90+ still seems like a solid bet. Tyler Panas and Jason Law are among the more recent faces I spotted in the field.

The field is just two entries shy of $70k in prizes now, with the final four levels of entry just underway. Level 9 has about 25 minutes to play, and the entries will close when they sit down for Level 13, which should be just over 2 hours from now.

The 6-Max field is up to 75 entries, with Level 8 just underway. That puts the prizes one entry shy of $65k and climbing, and it still looks like a good bet that the final field will flirt with 100 entries.

The prizes are almost at $60k with 70 entries on the board. Just over 5 minutes remain in Level 6, and there are now about 3.5 hours left to enter this game. It’s looking like a good bet this field will flirt with 100 entries before the registration desk closes at 8:45 PM tonight.

The field is now over 60 entries, with more than $52k in prizes so far. Just under 10 minutes remain in Level 5, with a bit more than 4 hours left to enter the game.

Ramaz Haymour, Andy Truong, Jerry Li, Deven Lane, Keegan Oliver, Josh Wallace, Peter Darlington, Colten Yamagishi, Alex Liu, Mal Hagan, Weston Pring, Daniel Lefebvre, and John Scalise are among the familiar faces I spotted in action on my ast trip around the room.

The 6Max field is up to 51 now, with 20 minutes to play in Level 4. They’ll take their first break of the day following this level, but there are still 8 levels of entry following the break.

Level 3 is nearly complete, and the field is now just a couple of entries shy of 50. The prizes so far are more than $41k and climbing, with about 5.5 hours left to enter the game.

Eric Wasylenko was among the recent entries, back in town after some world travels. Todd The Rock, Karim Chatur, and Ronnie Dattani are among the other faces I spotted recently.

Level 2 is about halfway complete, with 36 entries on the board. That puts the prizes so far at almost $31k and climbing, with about 6 hours left to enter the game.

Among the players I’ve spotted early are Alexandre Foritn, Denis Mujcin, Garry Chan, Fraser Short, Remy Bhend, Sebastian Crema, Raph Verdugo, and Benny Sarnelli.
