    2026 WSOP-C Cal Oct E12 Winner Kalya Cheekuri

    It was an action packed Day 3 that launched the final table to a winner. After six and a half hours of play, Kalya Cheekuri overcame the 850 player field to take down the Main Event. The field combined for a total prize pool of $1,762,050, with $951,756 of that reserved for Day 3. Cheekuri bested Tommy Nguyen in heads-up play, to take home his first WSOPC Ring.

    Cheekuri entered the day with a middling stack of 3,285,000 (27 big blinds). Eliminations were rapid early into the day with Cong Nguyen-Vu being the first to fall. His flip with Ace-King against Carter McCauley’s pocket fours saw him drawing dead when the turn came the 4♦. Soon after, the short stacked Michael Khan doubled with Kings against Christopher Alcindor’s Jacks. Left short stacked, Alcindor jammed for 14 bigs. Nguyen made the call, and his big slick sent Alcindor’s weaker ace to the rail.

    The short stacks of the table found doubles bringing majority of players to an average stack of 4,500,000. Nguyen found a triple barrel bluff before calling off against Khan’s all in. Khan found a pair of Queens, but it was no good with Nguyen finding a four card king high flush. However, Nguyen’s big stack faced danger on the horizon. First he lost a chunk to back to back shoves from Cheekuri to fall to 4,600,000. Shortly after, Kyle Ho jammed all in with Q♠10♠, and Nguyen made the call with 8♣8♦. The 10♦ on the flop flipped the odds, and Nguyen couldn’t improve. He was left with just 550,000.

    Cheekuri’s hot streak continued with him finding a hero call against Ashkan Razavi to overtake the chip lead (10,500,000). As the short stack, Nguyen found back to back doubles bring his stack back up to 1,900,000. He wasn’t done finding another pair of doubles, to sit more comfortably at 3,375,000. Soon after, he eliminated Jay Foong finding top pair with Ace-Jack. By the break, Cheekuri and Ho sat at the top of the charts with 9,950,000 and 9,025,000 respectively.

    Nguyen defended his big blind, against Razavi. He moved all in on the 3♠3♥9♦6♥, and Razavi priced himself in to call. Nguyen’s 8♣3♣ had Razavi’s Q♠J♣ drawing dead. He hit the rail shortly after getting it all in with fives against Carter McCauley’s sevens. Action was rapid, with Ho all in for his tournament life on the next hand. His A♥Q♦ flopped better than Cheekuri’s K♣J♦ on the 10♣7♣Q♥. However, the 9♦ turn saw Ho drawing dead, and Cheekuri holding 21,800,000 chips.

    He found the elimination onto McCauley right after calling off McCauley’s king high shove with King-Jack suited. Cheekuri made two pair to enter heads-up play with 30,000,000 of the 34,000,000 chips in play. Heads-up play was a battle with Nguyen finding back to back doubles. Soon after, he moved all in to secure the fold from Cheekuri and chip up to 12,650,000. With momentum on his side, he found max value with King-Nine on the king high runout.

    However, a double barrel bluff attempt saw Cheekuri call off with Q♠6♣ on the 2♥Q♣6♠5♥5♦ runout. With the chip lead of 26,750,000 to 7,250,000, Cheekuri applied max pressure. The short stacked Nguyen moved all in for 4,050,000, and Cheekuri called off.

    Tommy Nguyen: 6♣6♥
    Kalyan Cheekuri: Q♠5♦

    Nguyen looked poised for a double up when the turn came J♣A♠4♦9♦. However, the Q♣ on the river gave the pot and victory to Cheekuri.

    Leader:Carter McCauley (7.475 Million)

    The final day is set for the Main Event, and Carter McCauley is the chip leader for the final day. He has almost 7.5 million, with Ashkan Razavi, who always seems to find a way to Day 3 of the Main Event here in Calgary, is about 2 million behind with 5.255 million for second place.

    This is McCauley’s second big final table of the series, after he ran through the final day of the Mini Main Event for 3rd place. With the chip lead for Day 3 of this one, he’ll be looking to go a couple of spots deeper for the top score of nearly $300k. Full chip stacks & prizes for the final day will be at the bottom of this post.

    Day 3 kicks off at noon, and the game starts at the beginning of Level 28, with blinds of 60k/120k/120k. The levels will be 60 minutes long for the rest of the game, with Day 3 playing until someone is showing off the Main Event ring. There was a redraw when they got to the final table, so players will be returning to the same seats they left at the end of Day 2.

    The final table is being set now, with 10 players remaining. Garry Sandhu just bubbled in a big hand that saw Michael Khan triple from the main pot, and Kyle Ho chip up to around 4 million with a side pot.

    Kahn raised to 700k, leaving barely a big blind behind. Shandu shoved, and Ho called off with a bit more. Khan also called from the smallest stack. Khan had ace-five, against nines for Shandu and queens for Ho. Khan nailed the flop for aces & fives to take the main pot, while Ho’s queens held for the side pot, leaving Sandhu as the odd man out.

    Stay tuned for the final table faces coming shortly.

    As the final level of the night began, Jay Foong raised the hijack to 200k, and Garry Sandhu called the big blind. He check-called for 100k on the K♣9♦8♠ flop, but on the 4♠ turn, Snadhu check-shoved over a bet of 200k, and got it through.

    There are about 50 minutes remaining in Level 27, with the end of the night coming following this level.

    Kalyan Cheekuri raised his button to 170k, and Ashkan Razavi called from the big blind. They both checked the 5♦J♠Q♣ flop, and Razavi led for 325k on the 8♦ turn.

    Cheekuri called to the 4♣ river, where Razavi bet 755k. Cheekuri called, but mucked when Razavi rolled over A♠A♥.

    Level 26 has less than 5 minutes to play, with Level 27 as the final level of the day. They could bag early if they get to 6 players before then, but that seems unlikely with barely a level to play.

    It went back to checks on the J♥ river, and Razavi showed king-ten for the flopped two pair, but Nguyen’s king-queen went to Broadway on the river to take it down.

    In the first hand, Garry Sandhu raised the cutoff to 120k, and Jay Foong called from the big blind. Foong check-called for 100k on the 10♣A♣J♦ flop, and they both checked it down through the 7♠10♥ runout. Foong showed jack-nine for the win.

    In the next hand, Sandhu raised the hijack to 120k, and Carter McCauley called from the big blind. They both checked the 2♠A♦3♥ flop, and McCauley, who was 3rd in the Monster Stack earlier in the series, check-called for 100k on the 3♠ turn.

    McCauley led for 250k into a pot of about 500k on the A♣ river. “You know the ten-deuce got counterfeited, right?” Sandhu asked.

    “Is that what you have?” McCauley asked before Sandhu called. It turned out that McCauley was pretty close to the hand Sandhu called, with J♦2♦, which had indeed been counterfeited. Sandhu’s K♦10♦ was best with aces & threes, king kicker.

    Meanwhile, a few busts have brought the game to 12 remaining, 2 off the final table, with the final break of the night about to start.

    Michael Khan raised the middle to 120k, and big-stack Garry Sandhu called from the hijack before Jay Foong three-bet the small blind to 550k. That forced both players to fold.

    On the other table, KKPoker ambassador Chris Alcindor shoved the flop after a bet from Kaylen Cheekuri and took it down to stay alive. Ronnie Dattani recently busted from that table, bringing the game to 16 remaining.

    In the final hand of Level 24, Kalyan Cheekuri raised the button to 105k before Mike Leah reraised the big blind to 700k, leaving just fumes behind. Cheekuri shoved a covering stack, and Leah called it off.

    It was a not-so-classic race between ace-ten for Leah and king-queen for Cheekuri, but Cheekuri jumped into the lead after flopping a queen, then rivering trips on Q♥4♣2♥8♦Q♦.

    In the second hand of Level 25, on the other table, Garry Sandhu raised the cutoff to 125, then faced a three-bet to 400k from Kyle Ho on the button. Sandhu mucked his hand, but it looks like he’s chipped up to the lead since the break, playing close to 4 million now. Ash Razavi is still sitting pretty with more than 2.5 million, while Cheekuri is around the same after sending Leah to the rail.

  • Ocean KO Brings 400x Bounty Multipliers to GGPoker

    Ggpokeroceanko2026 – GGPoker Launches Ocean KO: The Jackpot PKO Format That Changes Every Knockout

    GGPoker has become the first operator to take the jackpot progressive knockout format beyond France and Spain with the launch of Ocean KO, and the opening Sunday made a strong case for its staying power. All three debut tournaments beat their guarantees. The $100 buy-in drew 5,926 entries for a $545,192 prize pool, and the $1,000 edition built a $657,400 pot from 692 entries.

    Every knockout triggers a random multiplier spin of up to 400x, four times the ceiling on Winamax’s Space KO, which makes Ocean KO the most volatile jackpot PKO on the market. Our breakdown covers the full pay table, how the format compares with Space KO and Betclic’s Smash KO, the new “evolution tiers” that mark the biggest bounties at the table, and more.

    Day 1c of the Main Event just hit the bubble, with 60 players in the game. The clock is paused with 3:33 remaining in Level 16, and 2 minutes will be taken off the clock manually for each hand played until they get to 59.

    Local Time:11:15 PM

    Day 1c of the Main Event is tqo off the money with about 5 minutes to play in Level 16. It looks like Andy Truong is the chip leader at the moment, with close to 700k in front of him. Clayton Gaudry also looks to be playing one of the big stacks with more than 500k in play.

    They’ll start the bubble play after the next elimination, with the day scheduled to end at the end of Level 17, assuming there are 59 players or less still alive at that point. Once they hit the money, they could bag early at 40 players, but that seems very unlikely. If they don’t hit 59 before the end of Level 17, they’ll keep playing for as long as it takes to get to 59.

    The Main Event just went on break following Level 15, which means there are 2 more levels in the scheduled Day 1 levels. They are still 11 off the money spots, however, and the game must be in the money for the bags to come out, so it could play longer than 17 levels.

    If they hit 59 players before the end of Level 17, they’ll keep playing until the end of 17, or 40 players, whichever comes first. If they are still above 59 at the end of Level 17, they’ll keep playing as long as it takes to get to 59.

    Day 1b of the Main is on the bubble in the final level of play now. There are 33 minutes left on the clock, but it’s paused, and two minutes will come off for each hand played until the next elimination puts them in the money. They will keep playing tonight until they get down to at least 39, with the bags coming out at the end of Level 17 if they are in the money. If not, they’ll play until there are 39 remaining.

    Local Time:10:35 PM

    Day 1b of the Main Event is on the final scheduled break of the day. There are 45 players remaining in the flight, with 39 players in the money, putting them 6 off the paid spots.

    In yesterday’s 1a, they played on the bubble for a full level, getting down barely below the 15% threshold right at the end of Level 17. It’s possible today could end earlier, but it could be another long bubble.

  • 256 Entries for Day 1b of the Main Event

    Entries:67/256 (95/459)
    Prizes:$524,800 ($940,950 total)
    Local Time:9:00 PM

    Entries are closed on Day 1b of the Main Event, with the final 1b field at 256 entries. That puts the combined entries just shy of 460, for prizes of more than $940k so far.

    That means they’ll hit the money spots today at 39 players, then play down to 26, or the end of Level 17, whichever comes first. As a reminder, players must be in the money for the bags to come out, so if there are still more than 39 players alive at the end of 17 levels, they’ll keep dealing until the field hits 39. Yesterday’s opening flight played the distance, finally getting into the money (and busting three players at the end) right at the end of Level 17.

    Tomorrow’s final flight should get at least 300-400 entries, but given that it’s the final shot, and more than a few players were interested in the PLO game tonight, it could easily hit 500 or more.

    Thursday at Deerfoot Inn & Casino marks the start of the biggest game of the series, the Main Event. The $2,300 game will almost certainly get more than $2 million in prizes by the end of entries on Saturday evening.

    Day 1a gets going at 11 AM on Thursday (Oct 8), and the Day 1 blinds are 40 minutes long. Players start with 40k, and can buy a 40k stack anytime during the first 12 levels of play, but players can only rebuy once per flight, for a maximum of 6 entries across all three starting days.

    Day 1 play lasts until the end of Level 17, or until they hit 10% of the field, but the flights must play into the money, so it’s possible they could go later than expected.

    In January, Senthuran Vijayaratnam took down the Main Event with his luck bear, topping a field of 1,321 for the biggest share of $2,575,796 in prizes. Last October, Travis MacMillan was the top dog over a field of 910 entries with prizes of $1,865,500.

    Day 1b of the Main is on the bubble in the final level of play now. There are 33 minutes left on the clock, but it’s paused, and two minutes will come off for each hand played until the next elimination puts them in the money. They will keep playing tonight until they get down to at least 39, with the bags coming out at the end of Level 17 if they are in the money. If not, they’ll play until there are 39 remaining.

    Day 1b of the Main Event is on the final scheduled break of the day. There are 45 players remaining in the flight, with 39 players in the money, putting them 6 off the paid spots.

    In yesterday’s 1a, they played on the bubble for a full level, getting down barely below the 15% threshold right at the end of Level 17. It’s possible today could end earlier, but it could be another long bubble.

    Local Time:9:00 PM

    Entries are closed on Day 1b of the Main Event, with the final 1b field at 256 entries. That puts the combined entries just shy of 460, for prizes of more than $940k so far.

    That means they’ll hit the money spots today at 39 players, then play down to 26, or the end of Level 17, whichever comes first. As a reminder, players must be in the money for the bags to come out, so if there are still more than 39 players alive at the end of 17 levels, they’ll keep dealing until the field hits 39. Yesterday’s opening flight played the distance, finally getting into the money (and busting three players at the end) right at the end of Level 17.

    Tomorrow’s final flight should get at least 300-400 entries, but given that it’s the final shot, and more than a few players were interested in the PLO game tonight, it could easily hit 500 or more.

    2026 WSOP-C Oct
    2026 WSOP-C Oct
    Date:Oct 9, 11 AM
    Blinds:40 Minutes on Day 1
    Starting Stack:40k
    Late Entry:12 Levels (Entries Close About 8:30 PM – Only Two Bullets per Player per Day)
    Day 1 Ends:End of Level 17, or 10% of the Field; Must be in the Money
    Entries:28/203
    Prizes:$416,150 ($402,194 Moving to Day 2)

    28 players are already waiting for Day 2 after the opening flight got 203 entries and played the distance until the end of Level 17. They were on the bubble for more than an hour before the dam burst and three players hit the rail for cash at the end of the night.

    Day 1a finished with 8:59 remaining in Level 17, which was already into the end-of-day portion of the level. Therefore, unless 1b or 1c ends earlier, Day 2 will start at the beginning of Level 18. Chip stacks and cashouts from Day 1a will be at the bottom of this post.

    The Day 1b action gets going at 11 AM, and it’s a larger redo of Day 1a. The expectation is that 1b will see 300-400 entries at least, but players should remember they only have 2 bullets on each day.

    They can buy either of those bullets anytime in the first 12 40-minute levels. That puts the last chance to buy a stack at about 8:30 PM, after which they play down to 10% of the field, or the end of Level 17. Note that the field MUST play down to at least 15% for the bags to come out, so play could extend beyond Level 17 if they aren’t in the money yet.

    Day 1c burst the bubble earlier than either of the first two flights, with the field down to 59 players near the start of Level 17. Play continues until they get to 40 players, or the end of Level 17.

  • Bubble Play

    Level:16 (4000/8000/8000)
    Entries:60/391 (120/850)
    Prizes:$801,549 ($1,762,050 total)
    Local Time:11:20 PM

    Day 1c of the Main Event just hit the bubble, with 60 players in the game. The clock is paused with 3:33 remaining in Level 16, and 2 minutes will be taken off the clock manually for each hand played until they get to 59.

  • Truong Looks to be Leading 2 Off the Money

    Level:16 (4000/8000/8000)
    Entries:61/391 (121/850)
    Prizes:$801,549 ($1,762,050 total)
    Local Time:11:15 PM

    Day 1c of the Main Event is tqo off the money with about 5 minutes to play in Level 16. It looks like Andy Truong is the chip leader at the moment, with close to 700k in front of him. Clayton Gaudry also looks to be playing one of the big stacks with more than 500k in play.

    They’ll start the bubble play after the next elimination, with the day scheduled to end at the end of Level 17, assuming there are 59 players or less still alive at that point. Once they hit the money, they could bag early at 40 players, but that seems very unlikely. If they don’t hit 59 before the end of Level 17, they’ll keep playing for as long as it takes to get to 59.

  • 11 Off the Money in 1c of the Main

    Level:16 (4000/8000/8000)
    Entries:70/391 (130/850)
    Prizes:$801,549 ($1,762,050 total)
    Local Time:10:30 PM

    The Main Event just went on break following Level 15, which means there are 2 more levels in the scheduled Day 1 levels. They are still 11 off the money spots, however, and the game must be in the money for the bags to come out, so it could play longer than 17 levels.

    If they hit 59 players before the end of Level 17, they’ll keep playing until the end of 17, or 40 players, whichever comes first. If they are still above 59 at the end of Level 17, they’ll keep playing as long as it takes to get to 59.

    The final flight to the Main Event is set for 11 AM on Saturday. There are already 459 total entries in the field, for prizes of more than $940k, and 60 players are waiting with bags for Day 2 from the opening two flights.

    Yanda Li is the big leader after two flights, with 921k for Day 2. John Hashem and Abhay Dogra (who has had two final tables so far this series) round out the top three stacks so far. See the final posts for Day 1a & 1b for the full stacks from the first two flights

    Day 1c will be a bigger redo of 1a/b, with players starting with 40k in chips for 40-minute levels on Day 1. Players can buy in for the first 12 levels of play, putting the final chance to buy in at about 8:30 PM. After that, they play down to 10% of the field or the end of Level 17, whichever comes first. However, the flight must be in the money for the bags to come out, so if there are still more than 15% remaining at the end of Level 17, they’ll keep playing until they get to 15%.

    The final table is being set now, with 10 players remaining. Garry Sandhu just bubbled in a big hand that saw Michael Khan triple from the main pot, and Kyle Ho chip up to around 4 million with a side pot.

    Kahn raised to 700k, leaving barely a big blind behind. Shandu shoved, and Ho called off with a bit more. Khan also called from the smallest stack. Khan had ace-five, against nines for Shandu and queens for Ho. Khan nailed the flop for aces & fives to take the main pot, while Ho’s queens held for the side pot, leaving Sandhu as the odd man out.

    Stay tuned for the final table faces coming shortly.

    As the final level of the night began, Jay Foong raised the hijack to 200k, and Garry Sandhu called the big blind. He check-called for 100k on the K♣9♦8♠ flop, but on the 4♠ turn, Snadhu check-shoved over a bet of 200k, and got it through.

    There are about 50 minutes remaining in Level 27, with the end of the night coming following this level.

    Kalyan Cheekuri raised his button to 170k, and Ashkan Razavi called from the big blind. They both checked the 5♦J♠Q♣ flop, and Razavi led for 325k on the 8♦ turn.

    Cheekuri called to the 4♣ river, where Razavi bet 755k. Cheekuri called, but mucked when Razavi rolled over A♠A♥.

    Level 26 has less than 5 minutes to play, with Level 27 as the final level of the day. They could bag early if they get to 6 players before then, but that seems unlikely with barely a level to play.

    It went back to checks on the J♥ river, and Razavi showed king-ten for the flopped two pair, but Nguyen’s king-queen went to Broadway on the river to take it down.

    In the first hand, Garry Sandhu raised the cutoff to 120k, and Jay Foong called from the big blind. Foong check-called for 100k on the 10♣A♣J♦ flop, and they both checked it down through the 7♠10♥ runout. Foong showed jack-nine for the win.

    In the next hand, Sandhu raised the hijack to 120k, and Carter McCauley called from the big blind. They both checked the 2♠A♦3♥ flop, and McCauley, who was 3rd in the Monster Stack earlier in the series, check-called for 100k on the 3♠ turn.

    McCauley led for 250k into a pot of about 500k on the A♣ river. “You know the ten-deuce got counterfeited, right?” Sandhu asked.

    “Is that what you have?” McCauley asked before Sandhu called. It turned out that McCauley was pretty close to the hand Sandhu called, with J♦2♦, which had indeed been counterfeited. Sandhu’s K♦10♦ was best with aces & threes, king kicker.

    Meanwhile, a few busts have brought the game to 12 remaining, 2 off the final table, with the final break of the night about to start.

    On the other table, KKPoker ambassador Chris Alcindor shoved the flop after a bet from Kaylen Cheekuri and took it down to stay alive. Ronnie Dattani recently busted from that table, bringing the game to 16 remaining.

    In the final hand of Level 24, Kalyan Cheekuri raised the button to 105k before Mike Leah reraised the big blind to 700k, leaving just fumes behind. Cheekuri shoved a covering stack, and Leah called it off.

    It was a not-so-classic race between ace-ten for Leah and king-queen for Cheekuri, but Cheekuri jumped into the lead after flopping a queen, then rivering trips on Q♥4♣2♥8♦Q♦.

    In the second hand of Level 25, on the other table, Garry Sandhu raised the cutoff to 125, then faced a three-bet to 400k from Kyle Ho on the button. Sandhu mucked his hand, but it looks like he’s chipped up to the lead since the break, playing close to 4 million now. Ash Razavi is still sitting pretty with more than 2.5 million, while Cheekuri is around the same after sending Leah to the rail.

  • Ocean KO Brings 400x Bounty Multipliers to GGPoker

    Ggpokeroceanko2026 – GGPoker Launches Ocean KO: The Jackpot PKO Format That Changes Every Knockout

    GGPoker has become the first operator to take the jackpot progressive knockout format beyond France and Spain with the launch of Ocean KO, and the opening Sunday made a strong case for its staying power. All three debut tournaments beat their guarantees. The $100 buy-in drew 5,926 entries for a $545,192 prize pool, and the $1,000 edition built a $657,400 pot from 692 entries.

    Every knockout triggers a random multiplier spin of up to 400x, four times the ceiling on Winamax’s Space KO, which makes Ocean KO the most volatile jackpot PKO on the market. Our breakdown covers the full pay table, how the format compares with Space KO and Betclic’s Smash KO, the new “evolution tiers” that mark the biggest bounties at the table, and more.

  • Kalyan Cheekuri Crushes the Field to Take Down the Main Event ($297,359)

    2026 WSOP-C Cal Oct E12 Winner Kalya Cheekuri – Kalyan Cheekuri Crushes the Field to Take Down the Main Event (7,359)
    2026 WSOP-C Cal Oct E12 Winner Kalya Cheekuri

    It was an action packed Day 3 that launched the final table to a winner. After six and a half hours of play, Kalya Cheekuri overcame the 850 player field to take down the Main Event. The field combined for a total prize pool of $1,762,050, with $951,756 of that reserved for Day 3. Cheekuri bested Tommy Nguyen in heads-up play, to take home his first WSOPC Ring.

    Cheekuri entered the day with a middling stack of 3,285,000 (27 big blinds). Eliminations were rapid early into the day with Cong Nguyen-Vu being the first to fall. His flip with Ace-King against Carter McCauley’s pocket fours saw him drawing dead when the turn came the 4♦. Soon after, the short stacked Michael Khan doubled with Kings against Christopher Alcindor’s Jacks. Left short stacked, Alcindor jammed for 14 bigs. Nguyen made the call, and his big slick sent Alcindor’s weaker ace to the rail.

    The short stacks of the table found doubles bringing majority of players to an average stack of 4,500,000. Nguyen found a triple barrel bluff before calling off against Khan’s all in. Khan found a pair of Queens, but it was no good with Nguyen finding a four card king high flush. However, Nguyen’s big stack faced danger on the horizon. First he lost a chunk to back to back shoves from Cheekuri to fall to 4,600,000. Shortly after, Kyle Ho jammed all in with Q♠10♠, and Nguyen made the call with 8♣8♦. The 10♦ on the flop flipped the odds, and Nguyen couldn’t improve. He was left with just 550,000.

    Cheekuri’s hot streak continued with him finding a hero call against Ashkan Razavi to overtake the chip lead (10,500,000). As the short stack, Nguyen found back to back doubles bring his stack back up to 1,900,000. He wasn’t done finding another pair of doubles, to sit more comfortably at 3,375,000. Soon after, he eliminated Jay Foong finding top pair with Ace-Jack. By the break, Cheekuri and Ho sat at the top of the charts with 9,950,000 and 9,025,000 respectively.

    Nguyen defended his big blind, against Razavi. He moved all in on the 3♠3♥9♦6♥, and Razavi priced himself in to call. Nguyen’s 8♣3♣ had Razavi’s Q♠J♣ drawing dead. He hit the rail shortly after getting it all in with fives against Carter McCauley’s sevens. Action was rapid, with Ho all in for his tournament life on the next hand. His A♥Q♦ flopped better than Cheekuri’s K♣J♦ on the 10♣7♣Q♥. However, the 9♦ turn saw Ho drawing dead, and Cheekuri holding 21,800,000 chips.

    He found the elimination onto McCauley right after calling off McCauley’s king high shove with King-Jack suited. Cheekuri made two pair to enter heads-up play with 30,000,000 of the 34,000,000 chips in play. Heads-up play was a battle with Nguyen finding back to back doubles. Soon after, he moved all in to secure the fold from Cheekuri and chip up to 12,650,000. With momentum on his side, he found max value with King-Nine on the king high runout.

    However, a double barrel bluff attempt saw Cheekuri call off with Q♠6♣ on the 2♥Q♣6♠5♥5♦ runout. With the chip lead of 26,750,000 to 7,250,000, Cheekuri applied max pressure. The short stacked Nguyen moved all in for 4,050,000, and Cheekuri called off.

    Blinds:60 Minutes

    Prizes:$1,762,050 (Day 2: $1,644,849, Day 3: $951,756)
    Leader:Carter McCauley (7.475 Million)

    The final day is set for the Main Event, and Carter McCauley is the chip leader for the final day. He has almost 7.5 million, with Ashkan Razavi, who always seems to find a way to Day 3 of the Main Event here in Calgary, is about 2 million behind with 5.255 million for second place.

    This is McCauley’s second big final table of the series, after he ran through the final day of the Mini Main Event for 3rd place. With the chip lead for Day 3 of this one, he’ll be looking to go a couple of spots deeper for the top score of nearly $300k. Full chip stacks & prizes for the final day will be at the bottom of this post.

    Day 3 kicks off at noon, and the game starts at the beginning of Level 28, with blinds of 60k/120k/120k. The levels will be 60 minutes long for the rest of the game, with Day 3 playing until someone is showing off the Main Event ring. There was a redraw when they got to the final table, so players will be returning to the same seats they left at the end of Day 2.
