With the breaking of another table, only 2 tables of 20 players are left in the Event, and 14 of those 20 players will get paid tonight.

Here are the payout details:

Bob T, a regular player at Playground Poker Club and the winner of last year’s Seniors’ Event in this series, was just eliminated when his failed to hit something. prevailed, and Bob left in 24th place.

For those that have been waiting for a hand, the blinds are now being felt, and so is the urgency to build up some kind of stack. Many coins have been flipped since the break, and we are now down to just 3 tables.

Photographs taken during level 14:

The Seniors’ Event now counts 39 players, scattered on 4 tables. These players just took a short break, allowing the tournament staff to race off the T100 chips off the tables. We prepared a top 10 during that break, which coincidentally includes all players working with 6-figure stacks.

On table 40, 4 stacks were pushed to the middle before the flop.

David Kovacic:
Sylvain Boucher:
Thomas Cemm:
Bradley J. Vance:

Thomas was in the driver’s seat, but had many cards to dodge. The flop came out clean, but one of 2 remaining aces appeared on the turn, and he let out a grunt.

Board:

Bradley had the higher kicker to his own ace, and nearly quadrupled up, now counting almost 100K in his stack.  Sylvain Boucher was eliminated from the main pot, while David Kovacic salvaged a small portion of his own stack, which was then matched by Thomas Cemm, who missed out on an opportunity to join the leaders.

After 8 levels of play, Scott Sisler managed to build a stack of 95,500 chips. He is leading the Seniors’ Event, going into the 3rd segment. We put together a top 5, made up of stacks larger than 70K.
