Eric Wasylenko Adds to his PPT Trophy Collection with 6-Max Win Posted Tuesday 24th September, 2024 at 01:46(UTC-7) by Lyle Bateman

Eric Wasylenko definitely enjoys his time on the tables here in Edmonton. He's already won two Main Events this year to add to multiple side event titles and Main Event final tables from last year and today he added another PPT trophy to his collection in the 6-Max.

It was a dominating performance for the Winnipeg native. He had the big stack for most of the day -- when they were six-handed at the final table Wasy had just shy of half the chips in play. He used the big stack masterfully, forcing other players to fold and generally bullying the table wherever he could. The final hand came down to runner-up Rob Lothian shoving a king from the button when Wasy woke up with pocket sevens. The sevens held on a dry board and Wasylenko had yet another trophy for his growing collection.

Rob Lothian Out in 2nd Place for $7,600 Posted Tuesday 24th September, 2024 at 01:30(UTC-7) by Lyle Bateman

It was always an uphill climb for Rob Lothian in heads-up tonight. Eric Wasylenko had a big lead to start the session, and while Lothian was able to get up to about 600k at one point, he couldn't quite find enough to get the lead.

Lothian was short for much of the final table, and played a solid short-stack game throughout to ladder into the runner-up spot. In the final hand, he shoved the button with kind-deuce by Wasylenko woke up with pocket sevens. The board was clean for the sevens and Lothian had to settle for second place tonight.

Lothian checked behind and Wasy chuckled as he turned over six-three of hearts for two pair. "I was trappy trappy" he said with a smile.

Lothian Chipping Back Up Posted Tuesday 24th September, 2024 at 00:44(UTC-7) by Lyle Bateman

Ron Lothian isn't going easily tonight. He got a double shortly after the hand that left him with 200k and he just chipped up a bit more when Eric Wasylenko raised to 30k and Lothian called. Lothian check-called for 15k on the flop and both players checked the turn. Lothian fired 80k on the river and Wasy called but mucked when Lothian showed king-trey for flopped two pair.

Wasy Leaves Lothian Short Posted Tuesday 24th September, 2024 at 00:35(UTC-7) by Lyle Bateman

Lothian bet 100k, but then hit the tank hard when Wasy shoved a covering stack. He finally mucked his hand to leave about 200k behind.

Skyler York Out in 4th Place for $3,040 Posted Tuesday 24th September, 2024 at 00:07(UTC-7) by Lyle Bateman

Skyler York shoved the small blind and Ro Lothian called with less from the big. York was on king-nine but dominated against the king-queen for Lothian. A queen on the flop gave Lothian a big lead, and the rest of the board bricked out for York.

That left York with about 60k, but he lost that shortly after in a blind-on-blind hand against Eric Wasylenko. Wasy raised the small, then called off the shove from York in the big. It was a race between the ace0king for Wasy and pocket fives for York, and Wasy hit his ace on the flop to take it down.

Sharma's One-Card Strategy Backfires Posted Monday 23rd September, 2024 at 23:57(UTC-7) by Lyle Bateman

It was blind on blind between DJ Sharma (small) and Eric Wasylenko (big). Wasy has the big stack, and when Sharma looked at his first card he announced all in before looking at #2. Wasy made a quick fold face up with seven-deuce offsuit, and only then did Sharma decide to see what his second card was. When he found another ace behind the first one, he was a little annoyed that he didn't play it a bit differently.

Shortly after, there was a limped pot between Wasy and Skyler York. Action checked through to the river on and Wasy bet 10k on the river. York raised it to 75k and after a few seconds, Wasy tossed in the one-chip call, taking it down with eight-three for the turned pair of eights.

They are down to 6 now after Jon Jacquard was the first to bust from the final table. He picked up $912 for his troubles today after he shoved pocket tens and was called by Eric Wasyenko with king-queen off. Wasy turned the queen to send Jacquard to the rail. Jacquard recently took 3rd in the $1k game at the most recent WSOP-C event in Calgary.
