Guillaume Bernier outlasted a field including some extremely tough competition to win Event 5 in the PokerStars Canada Cup. The event was a $300 + $30 Mixed No Limit Hold’em + Pot Limit Omaha event. Guillaume won $6,446 and the beautiful PokerStars Canada Cup trophy for his efforts tonight. Congratulations!

Event 5 Champion: Guillaume Bernier, $6,446

Event 5 is back from the third break of the night, and two players have a clear lead over the field. With the average stack at 67.2K, not many players have built stacks upwards of 120K, with the exception of Guillaume Bernier (210K) and Christopher McClung (160K), who are a head above the rest.

Play resumes in level 11 with 4 full tables remaining.

Event 5 is now in level 10, and the field has been whittled down to 37 players. Below are a few photographs taken in levels 8 and 9:

A total of 86 players registered for Event 5 – $300 + $30 Mixed NLHE-PLO, generating a prize pool of $25,026! The prizes will be distributed according to the following structure:

Event 5 – $300 + $30 Mixed NLHE-PLO – is midway through level 4, and we’ve seen registration climb up to 78 entries! Late registration will remain open for another 40 minutes or so, so it’s not too late to jump in on the action!

In a few moments, Event 5 of the Pokerstars Canada Cup will begin here at Playground Poker Club, and it will be the first time we host a Mixed No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha event as part of a series. The buy-in for this tournament is of $300 + $30, and the blinds will go up every 20 minutes, alternating at each level between the two games.

Late registration will close after the break following level 5, or roughly 9:50pm. With under 10 minutes left before the start of the tournament, we have 28 players registered, but we can expect that number to climb considerably.

Best of luck!
