After Mike Leah was eliminated from the Grand Prix Canada, ending the $20,000 last-longer promotion from partypoker, the final 3 players decided to pause the clock to see if a deal can be negotiated. Striking a deal while the last-longer promotion was still ongoing would cancel the bonus, and therefore all deal-talk was quickly turned down leading up to this point.

Once the ICM numbers were given, the three finalists were happy to lock in their prizes and shake on the deal. The tournament stipulates that a percentage of the prize-pool must remain in play for the eventual winner, and so an additional $20,000 has been left on the table for the Grand Prix champion, while the rest of the prize pool was divided as indicated below. Action is now back underway in level 38 as we play towards a winner, who will also take home the Grand Prix Canada champion’s trophy.

  • Cassidy Battikha (30,485,000) – $64,050.00
  • Karim Abdelhamid (29,720,000) – $62,500.00
  • Kevin Zeidler (17,295,000) – $53,450.00

Congratulations!

Grand Prix Canada final 3

Kevin Zeidler wins the $20,000 partypoker last longer!

2017/05/02 - 4:37 by Playground Poker

Partypoker held a promotion for online qualifiers to the Grand Prix Canada in the form of a last-longer. The first 100 players to qualify a stack online onto Day 2 via their site were given a Golden Chip, and the last man standing would be awarded a bonus prize of $20,000 aside from their respective payout. This prize was an addition to the prize pool, and therefore not taken out from the prizes.

11 players returned to Day 3 with a Golden Chip, however the number quickly dropped as the day progressed. Once the 8-handed final table was formed, only two players remained in contention of winning the prize: Mike Leah and Kevin Zeidler. Both players were very healthy in chips, however after a few levels of play Mike dropped to the short end of the leaderboard. He was eventually eliminated from play in 4-handed action, and Kevin was therefore awarded the prize.

Action is still underway with 3 players remaining, but Kevin has locked in the extra $20,000 as he attempts to add another $100,000 to his payout.

Congratulations!

The most decorated player from this Grand Prix Canada final table has just been eliminated, as did his hopes of taking down the $20,000 last longer sponsored by partypoker. Mike Leah was one of two remaining players with a Golden Chip on this final table, and the last man standing was set to take home the bonus prize. With Mike’s recent elimination, it is Kevin Zeidler who won the $20,000 bonus.

Mike lost a good portion of his stack when he open shoved King of Hearts 5 of Clubs from the small blind in an unopened pot, putting pressure on shorter stack Cassidy Battikha in the big blind. With around 14bb in front of him, Cassidy made the call with Ace of Spades 3 of Diamonds and held on for the double up, leaving Mike with under 10bb.

An orbit later, action folded around to Mike in the small blind, and once again he moved all-in – this time as the shorter stack. He found a quick call from Cassidy and the two tabled their hands.

Mike: 10 of Clubs 9 of Clubs
Cassidy: Ace of Spades King of Clubs

Board: 4 of Spades 7 of Spades Jack of Spades 6 of Hearts Ace of Hearts

Mike was eliminated on the hand, taking home a $25,000 consolation prize for his efforts.

Leandre St-Laurent went on a tear in the second half of Day 2, building himself a monster stack in the process. He held the chip lead for several levels, until Mike Leah chipped his way into the lead in the final moments of Day 2 to bag the lead.

Leandre returned to the felts today second in chips, and remained fairly quiet throughout the night, maintaining a healthy stack until the field got near the final table. Once the 8-handed final table began, he found himself to be one of the shorter stacks, but managed to remain in the game until the tournament reached 5-way action.

With only 6 big blinds left, Leandre found a shoving hand from utg and pushed for 4,700,000. Mike Leah re-shoved from the cutoff for 8,200,000 and action closed heads-up.

Leandre: Ace of Clubs 4 of Spades
Mike: Ace of Spades King of Diamonds

Leandre couldn’t improve on the Jack of Clubs Queen of Spades 2 of Diamonds Queen of Diamonds 9 of Clubs board and was sent to the rail in 5th place, while Mike picked up some much needed ammunition.

5th place: Leandre St-Laurent – $14,580.00

The 5 finalists in the Grand Prix Canada took a short break following level 35, and leading the way is Karim Abdelhamid who has managed to build his stack up to 23,005,000 chips. Cassidy and Kevin sit in the middle of the pack with around 17 million each, while Mike and Leandre have some work to do with stacks below the 20 big blind mark.

Shahar Ohaion was been on the shorter end of the leaderboard for the entirety of Day 3, and has managed to navigate through the field and secure himself a spot on the elusive final table.

In his final hand of play, he moved all-in for 3,195,000 from the cutoff after Karim had limped in from utg. Action folded to Cassidy Battikha in the big blind, who 3-bet all-in over the top, bringing the hand down to heads-up.

Shahar: Ace of Hearts King of Clubs
Cassidy: King of Hearts King of Diamonds

Although he picked up a premium hand with his short stack, Shahar was in big trouble and needed to find some help on the board. Unfortunately for him the board ran in the favour of the pocket pair, reading 5 of Clubs 7 of Diamonds Queen of Hearts 2 of Diamonds 3 of Hearts. Shahar gracefully congratulated his table-mates and left the stage with a smile to collect his 6th place prize money.

6th place: Shahar Ohaion – $10,000.00
