After almost 15-minutes of back-and-forth, the final 6 players in Event 4 have come to an agreement. They have agreed to take an (almost) even-share of the prize pool each, leaving behind the required $265 behind for the eventual winner, who will also take home a Playground Poker Spring Classic Champion’s Trophy.

Given Jeremie Trepantier was ahead of the other 5, he asked for a slightly larger piece of the prize. He will take home $1,797, while the other 5 players lock-in $1,700. As stipulated by the tournament rules, play must continue until there is a winner – and this player will collect the trophy, as well as the additional $265 in cash.

Congratulations!

Anish Kumar Sood was running low on options with the increasing blinds in this DeepStack Turbo, and decided to move in from late position with king-high to steal the now-massive blinds. He was looked up by Jean-Francois Santerre in the big blind, who held ace-high, and with no help on the board, Anish was eliminated deep in this Event 4.

8th place: Anish Kumar Sood – $455.00

Jason Acton was the next casualty in this DeepStack Turbo, as he went all-in for under Jean-Francois Santerre’s open-shove.

4 quick eliminations occurred in the level following the last break, as David, Gilles, Daniel and Alec hit the rail a little shy of the money.

Event 4 is now in the money, and only 14 players remain with chips in hand. A few short stacks have developed leading up to the money, so we can expect to reach the final table soon enough.
