TonyBet Winter Festival

The survivors!

- by

The Survivor event has concluded with 9 winners in Event 7 of the TonyBet Winter Festival. This was not a prize pool chop by choice – this result is built in to the design of the “Survivor” format, which pays an equal amount to 10% of the starting field. The tournament concluded as soon as the 10% mark was reached.

Each player earned $1,940 for their efforts this evening, and there was a little cash left over ($776.00) which was paid to the “bubble” player, Kenneth Legue, who finished 10th.

Here is the list of tonight’s winners:

  • Duff Charette
  • Jean-Philippe Sauvageau
  • Ryan Fisler
  • Samuel Picard
  • Valérie F
  • Sylvain Gauthier
  • Rong Xu
  • Kamal Sadaka
  • Daune Fernandez

Event 7 – Results & Payouts

- by

Event 7 in the TonyBet Winter Festival was a $200 + $20 NL Hold’em Survivor event. This is a special format in which play stops when 10% of the field remains and each player remaining gets an even payout. Any additional prize money goes to the “bubble” player.

This event had 94 players, resulting in a top prize of $1,940 plus $776 for the player who finished 10th.

Hand for Hand action – the bubble approaches

- by

The Survivor event is approaching its climactic moment: the bubble and hand for hand play. There are just 12 players left in the action and only 10 will be paid – the 9 top players will take $1,940 while the player in 10th will take home $776.00.

There are currently 2 players with extra-short stacks – Thibault Delmarle with 69K and Daniel Gates with 37K. Likewise, there are 2 players who seem almost assured of cashing in the event: Valeri F (385K) and Jean-Philippe Sauvageau (295K). But as all tournament players know – no result is fixed until it’s final!

A few photos from level 13

Players have returned from their break to resume play in level 14. During the break, tournament staff removed the T100 chips from play. There are 28 players remaining with the chip average currently sitting at 67,000, and there are 9 players at the moment below 40K. We’re still a long way from the money, however, so there’s lots of time left for short-stacked players to address the deficit.

    Event 7 of the TonyBet Winter Festival has just kicked off, and this tournament follows a “Survivor” structure, meaning that once the field is reduced to the final 10%, the tournament ends and the remaining players take an even part of the prize pool each. Given the buy-in of $200 + $20, players can expect to take home just shy of $2,000 should they qualify as one of the Survivors.

    Late registration will remain open through until the end of the first break, giving players until 9pm to register. So far 43 players have already taken their seats in these first few minutes of the event.

    Good luck to all the players in the field!
