2025 WSOPC Calgary #2 Event #10: Monster Stack ($330 + $70)

Date:Day 2: Oct 9, Noon
Blinds:45 Minutes
Entries:61/1,203
Prizes:$377,141 ($298,274 on Day 2)
1st Place:$60,960

Day 2 of the Monster Stack is set, and while the field for this wasn’t quite as monstrous as some in the past, the winner on Thursday will pocket nearly $61k for their $400 buy-in. The best stack going into the final day belongs to a relative newcomer to the scene.

With only two cashes on his Hendon Mob page, and both from small Grande Prairie games, Taeyoon Kang may not be a face or name that’s familiar at the top end of a WSOP-C chip count, but he was the only player from two flights to bag more than 2 million chips.

He’ll have some competition from a few much more familiar faces just down the list, though. WSOP-C & Super Stack Main winner Alex Liu bagged just under 2 million, while 2024 Alberta Poker Index Player of the Year, Mike Malm, is 3rd with 1.685 million. Michael Cartwright is in fourth and is also a fairly familiar face at the business end of Day 2s, with James Taksas rounding out the top five counts.

Day 2 action gets going at noon, and it should be a good one. The blinds will start with 28:17 minutes remaining in Level 23, and Level 24 will play for 30 minutes. When the clock ticks over to Level 25 and the official start of Day 2, blinds pump up to 45 minutes for the rest of the day.

The prize pool will be posted under the Payouts tab shortly after this post goes live, but 6 players will get 5-figure payouts, and the $1,352 min-cash for 61st is more than 3x the buy-in.

Wednesday was my first relatively short day of the series, so I should actually be down for the start of Day 2 for this one. The Day 2 seat assignments are below, sorted by name and table-seat (T-S).
