John Paul Tabago starts the final session with about a 2:1 chip advantage over his opponent, Jason Comtois, but depending on their relative experience in this format, skill, and good old-fashioned luck, anything could happen when play is two-way.

Good luck to both players!

The WPT Canadian Spring Championship Main Event is now heads up between John Paul Tabago and Jason Comtois, as we just lost Daniel Gagne in 3rd place.

Daniel turned a straight with on a board, and got it all-in versus John Paul’s set of . He needed to fade a few cards to win this huge pot, but the on the river paired the board, giving John Paul the win.

Only three players remaining in the WPT Canadian Spring Championship Main Event, and here are the current chip counts:

• Seat 1. Johnny Mazzaferro – eliminated in 4th place – $59,762
• Seat 2. Jason Comtois – 12,875,000

Johnny Mazzaferro won a $1.1K event in the 2013 Playground Poker Spring Classic but fell just short of winning an event at the same buy-in this year. Still, his 4th place was worth more in cash than his win last year – this was a Main Event with three starting days and a million dollar guaranteed prize pool!

It took a few hands to eliminate Johnny, and it all got started when his weak Ace couldn’t outflop Jason’s pocket Tens, and ended with another $59,762.00 in his poker bankroll.

4th place: Johnny Mazzaferro, $59,762.00

Action on the final table hasn’t been characterized by bustouts or huge double-ups but that’s not to say that it has been static or slow – chips have been moving around very fluidly throughout the day.

In that context Alexander got it in on the flop which had appeared but was instantly called by Daniel Gagne who held for top two pairs.

5th place: Alexander Wong, $44,586.00

We are on a short break here on the final table of the WPT Canadian Spring Championship Main Event, and 5 players are still on the hunt for the belt, the trophy and the massive $178,114 top prize!
