Scott Calvank's partner Bridgette was on the rail tonight and she mentioned he was really looking to win a ring. He came pretty close earlier this week in the opening game when he was in the final three, but had to settle for third place in the Big 30 Stack.

Tonight he came through for the win, though, with a strong performance. As someone who plays a pretty wide range, Calvank can be hard to figure out, and he found ways to get there on a few hands, including a hand three ways when he turned a boat with nine-four after tripping the flop. He did the main damage heads up to Brett Worton with the best of it, however, when his pocket sevens held against an ace-deuce shove from Worton.

The $22k score tonight won't quite be his biggest score -- that happened in May 2023 when he was 3rd in Event #4 here at Deerfoot with a score of a bit more than $23k -- but it will be his second biggest score, besting his $11k from earlier this week for 3rd in the Big 30. Not only was this Calvank's first Ring, but it was his first live win as well.

Brett Worton was in rough shape after he had to double Scott Calvank's sevens. That left him pretty short, and it didn't take long to get the rest in. Worton limp-called the shove from Calvank, and flopped huge draws with his on . Calvank still had the technical best with and Worton's draws bricked out on turn and river.

Scott Calvank just took a big lead tonight after his pocket sevens held against ace-deuce for Brett Worton.

Gerald Chung is a bit of a Seniors specialist with a couple of wins on the other local tour in this event, but he is still looking for his first Circuit ring after he couldn't make it past third tonight. A big part of the damage happened when Scott Calvank turned a straight against Chung's top-top but the final blow was dealt by Brett Worton.

The limped to a flop where Worton hit top pair and Chung had a diamond draw. The money went in and Chung bricked his draw to hit the cage for the first payout over $10k tonight.

Brett Worton and Scott Calvank limped to the flop where both players checked. Worton led out for 125k on the turn and Calvank called. Worton checked the river, then called a bet of 300k, mucking when Calvank showed nine-four for the turned boat.

They are down to three left in the 50+ game now after James Morand just ended his run. Brett Worton shoved the small blind and Morand called with less from the big. Morand had the best of it with ace-four against ten-nine for Worton. It looked like Morand would double but Worton spiked a nine on the river and they are down to three.

James Morand raised to 300k under the gun before Grant Fruelling shoved 630k from his left. It folded to big blind Brett Worton and he reshoved over top. Morand got out of the way and it was a race between pocket eights for Worton against the ace-ten overs for Fruelling. Worton flopped a set to put Fruelling in bad shape and he was out in 5th place.

James Morand shoved under the gun for 690k and Scott Calvank flatted from the button. Calvank was best with ace-jack over ace-seven for Morand, but after both players flopped the ace, Morand turned a 7 to survive with two pair.

Cliff Green hit the cage just before the break when he shoved a short stack with ace-three and got two callers. He hit his three but an opponent hit a five for a better pair.

Meanwhile, it looks like Scott Calvank is the leader now with 1.9 million with Brett Worton on 1.7 million. Gerald Chung has 1.14 million while James Morand has just shy of a million and Grant Fruelling in on the shorty of 830k. Players are now on a break and will be back at the felt in just over 5 minutes,

Jimmie Sugai just picked up his second final table cash in two days after he was on the Mystery FT last night, and now finished 7th in the Seniors.

They are down to 7 left in the seniors now after Raph Verdugo was forced all in on his big blind. James Morand raised to 230k early and that pushed everyone else out. Verdugo was in tough with against for Morand. Morand rivered his ace, but he didn't need it as neither player hit the board before that. The was Verdugo's second final table in as many events as he was also on the Mystery FT last night.

Gerald Chung open-shoved for 430k early, and Brett Worton flatted from the cutoff. It looked like Scott Calvank wanted to get involved from the big blind, but ultimately decided to fold.

Chung was on pocket tens, but Worton had aces. It wasn't enough, though, when Chung flopped his ten on a board of to ground the rockets.

Cliff Green shoved 140k from the middle and Rafa Verdugo called from the button. Verdugo was best with against but Green spiked a jack on the flop of and got the double to about 300k while Verdugo still has a bit more than that after sending the double to Green.

They are down to 8 in the Seniors now after Kelt Davies ended his day in 9th place. I still haven't had much of a chance to watch the action as I've been getting other backend stuff sorted.

The Seniors are down to the final table now with 9 players Left alive. Ali Razzaq was the player to bust the 10-handed FT first. Pictures for the rest of the final table are below.

The seniors game is in Level 6 with that action just beginning and blinds at 300/600/600. There are 295 entries on the board with a bit more than 90 minutes left in late registration so it seems clear this field will break 300 entries pretty easily.

I won't have eyes on this game until later today as I'll be paying attention to Day 2 of the 4-Flight until it finishes, but the 50+ game is my second priority today, so this will get coverage once the 4-Flight awards the ring.

It's time for the Seniors' event on Sunday with action kicking off at 11 am in the Sundance room. The game is a restricted entry event open only to players aged 50 or over.

Players sit down with 20k in chips for 30 minute levels throughout the day. Late entries will be accepted until the start of Level 9, which should be about 3:30 pm. There is a 45-minute dinner break following Level 12.

I likely won't have eyes on this one until the end, if at all. My main focus will be Day 2 of the 4-flight on Sunday, but the Seniors' game will be my #2 priority for Sunday, so I plan to move to here once the 4-Flight finishes.
