After a long and hard-fought battle on the felt, Timothy Vukson has emerged as the champion of Event 3, the $300 + $30 No Limit Hold’em 6-Max event in the PokerStars Canada Cup held at Playground Poker Club. For his work tonight he takes home $9000 and the trophy!
Event 3 Champion: Timothy Vukson
The final table is set here in Event 3, and since this is a 6-max tournament, it will consist of 7 players. Here they are:
Good luck to you gentlemen!

Event 3 has now fallen down to it’s final 3 tables of 6 players, with a total of 18 players remaining. This means we are but 1 away from the money with the tournament played hand-for-hand, and the next person eliminated will go home empty handed, while the rest will be sure to collect at least $660.
Here are a few photos taken in the last level:
Event 3 in the PokerStars Canada Cup was a $300 + $30 No Limit Hold’em 6-Max event. It was a single-day event that began on May 19th. There were 163 players total in the event which generated a prize pool of $47,433 to be distributed according to the following table:
| Finish | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1 | $11,253.00 |
| 2 | $8,390.00 |
| 3 | $6,290.00 |
| 4 | $4,720.00 |
| 5 | $3,540.00 |
| 6 | $2,660.00 |
| 7 | $1,990.00 |
| 8 | $1,490.00 |
| 9 | $1,120.00 |
| 10-11 | $840.00 |
| 12-13 | $770.00 |
| 14-15 | $720.00 |
| 16-17 | $660.00 |
After the last break in the 6-Max we noted very few large stacks and a large proportion of very short stacks left in the event. As that would suggest, the tide was about to turn and those small stacks were going to be folded into (or become in their own right) big stacks. And so it went – as of the last break, there were just 39 players remaining and there were several players with very large counts.
Players have just finished their second break of the evening and play has commenced in level 10. During the break we did a quick survey to find the leaders at the moment and found two big leaders and a few others with about double the average – and a whole lot of short stacks hanging around.
The 6-Max is well underway now and there are already 151 players in the action with late registration continuing for (approx.) another 30 minutes. It’s going to add up to a nice prize pool for the lucky player who can navigate a field full of very experienced amateurs as well as a few pros.
It’s Monday night, and as any regular player at Playground Poker Club will likely tell you, Monday nights are known at the club for their 6-max tournament! And with the Pokerstars Canada Cup in town this week, this Monday will feature a special tournament, with Event 3 – a $300 + $30 No Limit Hold’em 6-Max tournament, scheduled tonight at 7:30pm! If this weekend was any indication of how many players are in town for the series, we should expect to see quite a large attendance to this already popular event.
Tonight is also Game #2 in the NHL playoffs between the Montreal Canadians and the New York Rangers, and you can be certain that almost every television set in the club will be tuned in to the game. So what better way to spend your Monday night than to be playing in Canada’s premiere poker destination, with a complementary drink in hand and an exciting game of hockey to watch.
See you tonight!
