Event 5 in the June Power Weekend, a $110 Megastack Turbo tournament, ended in a pretty violent manner. When 6 players were left, they agreed to an ICM chop that secured our 6 finalists the following amounts:
Name | Nom | Prize | Bourse |
---|---|
Kayden Stacey | $1,711 |
Simon Luquette | $1,590 |
Daniel Deshaies | $1,390 |
Pierre-Luc Bélanger | $910 |
Michael Mckinnon | $815 |
Stephen Langlois | $710 |
When that deal was struck, the final table transformed into a royal rumble, and everybody was blindly throwing punches. We did note one of the few hands that were played between the deal and the conclusion.

Everybody was live going into the river, but Pierre-Luc’s flopped 2-pair held, and this win eventually got him the title. He ended up facing Daniel Deshaies in a heads-up match that lasted 1 hand, which is pictured below, and became the victor of a 98-player field. He added $210 to his secured winnings.
Well done!
Our Megastack Turbo Champion: Pierre-Luc Bélanger – $1,120
3 more players secured a 4-figure payday:
