Place	Player	Prize
1	Terry Chow	$3,730
2	John Harris	$3,130
3	Shane Patacsil	$3,130
4	Jeffrey Lamarche	$3,130
5	Deven Lane	$3,130

7	Shawn Holland	$1,026
8	Colten Yamagishi	$912
9	Samuel Brouillard	$798
10	Chad English	$684

Shawn Holland was left short after doubling John Harris in the previous hand. Holland shoved with pocket deuces, but ran into jacks and couldn’t get there when the board ran out 10♦9♦9♠3♠Q♠.

John Harris shoved pocket tens and Shawn Holland called for a race with ace-queen. Holland hit his queen on the flop, and Harris was ready to head out when the ten came on the turn.

Colten Yamagishi got his stack in with cards he never showed. Jeff LaMarche with ace-ten off and flopped an ace. Yamagishi conceded defeat and hit the payout desk for 8th place.

I missed the final action, but Sam Brouillard was left short just before the break after doubling up Nush Alem. He had just 15k behind after the hand where his ace-ten was capped by Alem’s ace-king. Brouillard won the $230 NLH (Event 10) earlier in the week.

Chad English was the first player off the final table, for the mincash of $684 in the first hand back from the break.

The final table is being set now, with 10 players remaining. Stay tuned for final table faces, with a look at the stacks coming during the break in about 10 minutes.

The side game is on the bubble now, with 11 players left. Level 21 has just begun, and the average stack is just over 10 big blinds. Shane Patacsil still looks to be the leader with close to 400k in front of him.

The side game is down to 12 players left, and Shane Patacsil looks to be the leader. He’s playing 365k, and the only other stack that looks to be more than 300k belongs to Jeff Lamarche on the same table. Lamarche is playing around 310k. The average stack at the moment is 15 big blinds.

The side game is down to 14 left now, with about 10 minutes remaining in Level 18. The average stack at the moment is just over 17 big blinds.

The side game has stalled a bit with 18 left. Level 17 is about half complete, and they are still playing on two full tables. The average sstack is now down to about 18 big blinds, and they are still 8 players away from the money spots.

The side game is down to the final two tables now, with 18 players remaining. That puts them 8 eliminations off the money, with just over 5 minutes to play in Level 15. The average stack right now is about 25 big blinds.

The prizes are in, and the field is confirmed at 96 entries for $22,800 in prizes. The game is down to 21 players remaining as Level 15 just begins. The winner later tonight is set to pocket more than $6k for the win, and 10 players will get a piece of the action, with the min-cash spot at a very respectable $684.

The side game field is down to 32 remaining, 22 off the money. I’m still waiting for the prizes to confirm all the numbers.

Entries are closed on the penultimate tournament of the series, and the Saturday night side game got 96 unofficial entries. If that number holds after the count, it will mean 10 players sharing in $22,800 in prizes later tonight. I’ll confirm all the numbers when the prizes are posted, but I’d expect first place tonight to get around $5k.

Level 9 has just started in the side game, and the field is at 88 entries. That puts the prizes over $20k with about 30 minutes left to get into the game. It seems likely registration for this game will end somewhere around 100 entries.

Level 5 has just ended, and the side game is out for their first break of the night. When they return for Level 6 in about 15 minutes, there will be four levels of poker left before entries close for good.

The side game field is just shy of 60 entries now for more than $13k in prizes. Level 4 is nearly complete, and there are just over two hours left to enter the game.

Level 2 has just kicked off on the side game, and the field is just shy of 50 entries. Entries are open for about 3 more hours, with the desk set to close at 10:30 PM.

Event #16: $280 NLH ($250 + $30)

It’s the penultimate day of action at the 2026 Spring Super Stack, with the final flight to the Main Event as the main game. The side game is the $280 NLH, kicking off at 7 PM Saturday evening.

Players sit down with 25k in chips to play 20-minute levels throughout the night. Entries are open for 9 levels, putting the close of entries at about 10:30 PM. After that, they play to a winner before it ends. This is a bit of a turbo event, but players who jump in should be expecting to play until at least 3 AM in this one.

Last Spring, Juan Riedinger took down this game over Sebastian Crema and 51 entries for combined prizes of $12,112. The Summer title in 2025 went to Ramaz Haymour, after he defeated Mohsen Shafizadeh and a field of 75 for the biggest share of $17,814 in prizes.

The final six players decided to cut a deal with the average stack at 10 big blinds. Terry Chow was the clear chip leader, and he took the win and $3,730. The rest of the table agreed to $3,130 and ended the night.
