The winner and new WPT Canadian Spring Champion!

Jason Comtois has outlasted a very tough field of 1079 entries to emerge the winner of the 2014 partypoker Canadian Spring Championship!

After just 18 hands of heads up play against the second place finisher, John Paul Tabago, Jason managed to get a call to his 4-bet shove holding Ace of Clubs King of Diamonds. JP held just Queen of Spades 4 of Spades and would need a lot of help. The flop of King of Hearts 4 of Diamonds 3 of Spades gave each of them a piece though Jason had the most of it, and the turn and river 7 of Hearts 3 of Diamonds kept Jason in the lead and gave him the championship.

1st place: Jason Comtois, $178,114.00

  • The final two players in the 2014 partypoker WPT Canadian Spring Championship are now in action heads up. 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!

    Daniel Gagne out in 3rd

    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 King of Clubs 10 of Diamonds on a Queen of Hearts 9 of Spades 3 of Clubs Jack of Diamonds board, and got it all-in versus John Paul’s set of 9 of Diamonds 9 of Hearts. He needed to fade a few cards to win this huge pot, but the 3 of Spades on the river paired the board, giving John Paul the win.

    Heads-up will begin in a few minutes, and here is how the chips stand:

    • Seat 2. Jason Comtois – 10,525,000
    • Seat 3. John Paul Tabago – 21,450,000

    3rd place: Daniel Gagne, $80,904

  • 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.

  • 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 King of Clubs 5 of Hearts 8 of Diamonds but was instantly called by Daniel Gagne who held King of Spades 8 of Clubs for top two pairs.
