His first cash on Hendon Mob was a win in March at the Grande Poker Series in a Sunday Madness game for about $7,500, and now he's added a second win worth $3,480 here at Pure Casino Calgary,

They are down to three now in the Turbo game after the exit of Curtis Singleton. I missed the action as I am watching the final nine on the Day 1a bubble in the Main Event, but Kevin White was seen stacking his chips after the hand.

Qingwei Meng was the unfortunate bubble tonight in the Turbo game, putting the remaining players in the money now.
They are down to 6 players left now, one the money bubble, after Sedrick Celi and Jason McArthur hit the rail.
The Turbo game just hit the final table with 8 players left. That puts them three off the money spots now. Dylan Descheneaux looks to be the leader right now with a stack of 255k. Full chips for the final 8 will be under the chip counts tab shortly.
They are down to 11 players left in the Turbo side game now with about 10 minutes to play in Level 12. That puts them 6 players off the money spots for tonight. It looks like Anthony Casten has the chip lead at the moment with about 180k while Curtis Singleton looks to be playing about 150k.
The prizes are in and the field for the Turbo tonight is confirmed at 48 entries for prizes of $9,120. That means 5 players will be sharing in the pries with the winner set to pocket $3,480. See the Payouts tab for a full look at the prizes.
Entries are now closed in the Turbo side event tonight and it looks like they got 48 entries.

Event #9: $230 Turbo ($200 + $30)
Apr 12 - 7 PM
Starting Stack: 20k
Blinds: 20 Min
Late Entry: 6 Levels (~9:15 PM)
For players who have no luck in Day 1a of the Main Event, or for players looking for a lower buy-in today, there will be a $230 Turbo game on the side Friday evening. The action kicks off at 7 PM and players will have 6 levels to buy in. That should mean the last chance to get into the game will be at about 9:15 PM.
Players sit down with 20k in chips to play 20-minute levels until a winner is decided later tonight. My focus for most of the day will be on Day 1a of the Main Event, but I'll move over to this one once Day 1a bags for the night.
