Day 1B of the $500 No Limit Hold‘em and Event #3, a $1,000 No Limit Hold’em are now in the books for Casino Yellowhead’s 12th annual Canadian Poker Championships in Edmonton. 11 more players advanced to today’s noon finals for the $500 buy-in, with 23 players returning today to battle for their share of an over $110,000 prize-pool.
So far, after 3 events, a total of $276,509 in combined prize-pools have been generated, with the final event, a $300+$30+$10 (optional add-on) No Limit Hold’em beginning at 4:00pm this Sunday (Oct 9th).
The final day of the $500 event certainly has created a field of familiar top Alberta names; we told you about a few in our 12th Annual Canadian Poker Championships $500 Day 1A Chipcounts & Event 1 report, but 1B has brought a few more powerhouses into the mix; Rick Horseman is the defending champion from the 9th Annual Western Canadian Poker Championship, also hosted by Casino Yellowhead. Also slaying this series is Ron Campbell, yet another past Canadian “Player of the Year” who is having an incredible run once again this weekend, after also finishing 4th in Saturday’s $1000 No Limit Hold’em. Count on today’s poker to some of the toughest played recently in Alberta, these players all know each other well and the bragging rights will certainly be a motivator in this one.
The $1,000 event results show several notable names from past series; Patrick Snowden bested his recent 6th place performance in the Edmonton Poker Championships 1k, finishing 3rd this time around. “Calvin X” can be found on many results a report coming out of Edmonton, though still chooses to remain incognito when it comes to the press. Beausejour Manitoba’s James Werry has had previous final table finishes in events with buy-ins of $1000 or more in Regina, Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary; now adding Edmonton with his 6th place cash here.
Here are the results as well as photos by CanadaPoker.com from the $1000 and chip counts from Day 1B. Be sure to also view our Photo Galleries from Friday.
