This one is for my dad, whose 81st birthday was today. Started this report after I just got home from my brother’s house where we had our small immediate family together for a little celebration.

Unlike so many of you, I did not learn poker from my father. Didn’t learn it from my mother or anyone else in my family. Nobody in my family played cards when I was a kid, though Dad says he and Mom played some pinochle during their early college years. Nobody I knew even gambled, at least as far as I knew. My folks came from kind of hardscrabble families without a lot of money, and while I know that’s not exactly a bar for many people that prevents them from getting into gaming, the times (after a series of vice scandals rocked Portland’s gambling scene but well before Indian casinos brought legalized gaming to the state) and somewhat puritanical though not dogmatic religious upbringings combined with the lack of money to never even really put poker in front of my face. “I don’t know anything about poker,” he’s said to me any number of times, but it’s been a hell of a year, between COVID and cancer surgery for him, along with having to vacate his house because of a lack of electricity during the fires last fall and the ice storm that coincided with his cancer surgery, so he gets the dedication for this Leaderboard.

Running this one chronologically, again. And I’m dropping the GPI rankings because I’m not sure they added anything useful.

Graeme Wright of Calgary was runner-up in the Autumn at the Aria Poker Series $40K GTD NLHE on 7 October, out of 258 entries. It’s Wright’s largest cash (and only the fifth on record). Wright moves up over a thousands places on the Leaderboard to #1686.

The Wynn Fall Classic $2M GTD NLHE Mystery Bounty brought in over $3M to the prize pool, with 2,333 entries. In 50th place was Brett Kennedy (Seattle) whose cash was good enough to move them from #385 to #359, Eight places further on, at 32nd, was Surrey, British Columbia player Harsukhpaul Sangha, moving five places on the Leaderboard, to #110.

Daniel Boskovic (Port Moody, British Columbia) took second in the 14 October Aria Poker Series $40K GTD NLHE, out of 308 entries. The prize pool for that one topped $100K. Boskovic goes from #3927 to #2366, with their best career cash.

On a slightly larger stage, Seattle’s Chad Campbell came in 2nd in World Series of Poker #29 NLHE Short Deck Championship, beating 64 other players to go head-to-head with Chance Kornuth and their biggest cash. It takes Campbell up almost five hundred places on the Leaderboard, to #296.

WSOP #30 NLHE Monster Stack

Jacqueline Burkhart at 53rd, which was enough to inch up another seven places to #256. Vancouver, Washington’s James Ward debuted on the Leaderboard at #2461 by placing 45th. Christopher Brewer took a break from the nosebleed buy-ins to place 30th (which doesn’t move him from #16). Another PNW crusher, Dylan Wilkerson—#13—came in at 27th. On the last two tables, it was #8 Lee Markholt taking 17th, Seattle’s Katsushi Yoshida getting 14th (and moving eight hundred spots on the Leaderboard to #871), with Jeff Vertes of Abbotsford, British Columbia getting 12th (and climbing from #213 to #180).

Revamping this to make it more fair, because I didn't think it all the way through. Will give +200 or can bet even at 1.5x return. 5k min, 25k max https://t.co/rQHHKoSf1s

— Chris Brewer (@Chris_D_Brewer) November 1, 2021

In case you’re wondering how Chris’s bet here is likely to go, revisit what Limon did (and I tagged along for) during the 2015 WSOP Main Event.

Ralph ‘Rep’ Porter got close to another bracelet, making it to 4th in WSOP #31 NL 2-7 Lowball Draw. 272 entries, this is typically the $1,500 buy-in event with the fewest entries if you’re looking for a bracelet yourself! Porter stays at #11.

Vancouver’s Joseph Leung moves up forty places on the Leaderboard to #217 with a 2nd place at the Venetian DeepStack Poker Series II #23 $75K GTD PLO. That event got 267 entries and pushed the prize pool to more than three times the guarantee.

Here’s me on my new money phone telling my mom I won the Venetian daily yesterday for $39,570 pic.twitter.com/yLkmdx3q6v

— Angela Jordison (@Angelajordison) October 17, 2021

Everyone’s favorite new senior, Angela Jordison, won her biggest recorded cash in Venetian #22 $50K GTD NLHE MonsterStack. 359 entries brounght the prize pool up to $183K. Jordison’s rank on the Leaderboard goes from #282 to #224 with that win, a 10th place in the Wynn Fall Classic $400K NLHE Seniors and some other stuff, like 108th in the WSOP #52 NLHE Seniors Championship. It’s a good thing I’ll be able to play the Super Seniors next year so I can stay out of Jordison’s way. Jordison bested another PNW player—Benjamin Garrick of Gold Beach—in the Venetian event. It was still Garrick’s best cash, and they move 300+ places to #748. Two other PNW players were at the final table of the Wynn Seniors tournament , as well: April Facey—another Port Moody native, who rises about 150 places to #539—and Spokane Valley’s Justin Monk, whose 3rd-place finish took them from #179 to #146.

#18 Tyler Patterson took 20th in the WSOP #33 NLHE 8-Max.The event drew 2,778 entries at $800 each for a proze pool of nearly $2M. Kris Steinbach from Sherwood Park, Alberta grabbed 5th place, moving from #280 to #187.

Tacoma’s Peter Lynn grabbed their biggest cash and almost grabbed a bracelet, in the 285-entry WSOP #34 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw, losing to David “Bakes” Baker. Lynn jumps from #2470 to #865.

Portland’s Brian Cunningham notched a personal best cash in the 18 October and moved more than three thousand places on the Leaderboard (to #2905) by winning the Rio Daily 1pm Deep Stack, which got a prize pool of $57K out of 284 entries.

From Federal Way, Jacob Rich made it to 6th place in the 2,931 entry field of WSOP #35 NLHE Freezeout. It’s a best cash for Rich, and it’s enough for a debut on the leaderboard at #1671.

The follow-up to last week’s out-of-nowhere entry of Tacoma’s Bin Weng in the WSOP’s $25K buy-in Heads-Up tournament was Weng placing 6th in WSOP #38 NLHE High Roller 8-Max, a $50K buy-in with 81 entries. Weng was slugging it out on the final table with Mustapha Kanit, Sam Soverel, Chris Hunichen, Erik Seidel, Gal Yifrach, Justin Bonomo, and Michael Addamo. Again, that’s some chutzpah for someone whose lifetime recorded tournament earnings prior to this event were less than the buy-in, and that includes a min-cash in the $25K Heads Up. Weng had a significant addition to the recorded earnings from this, and moves from #1296 to #239 on the Leaderboard.

Dien Le from Bellevue bumps up two places to #122 with 11th place in WSOP #39 PLO 8-Max. There were 821 entries in the event.

The WSOP #41 NLHE Freezeout got 896 $2,500 entries. George Wolff came in 18th. He stays at the #17 spot on the Leaderboard.

Steve Chanthabouasy climbs five places to #90 after making the final table of the WSOP #44 LHE 6-Max, a $3K buy-in that got 162 entries. Chanthabouasy took 6th.

Slipping out of the Rio for a moment, at the Orleans Poker Series $75K GTD NLHE on 23 October, Tim Zhou from Kenmore, Washington placed 2nd for a lifetime best, and moves up from #2158 to #1677 on the Leaderboard.

Portland’s Brian Bowman jumps 400 spots to #1376 with a 13th place finish in WSOP #46 NLHE Deepstack. There were over 2,000 entries in this one.

Colten Yamagishi from Edmonton got their biggest cash coming in 4th out of 1,569 entries in WSOP #50 Mixed NLHE/PLO Deepstack 8-Max. Yamagishi is up 270 places on the Leaderboard, to #530.

WSOP #51 NLHE 6-Max

Three PNW players made it deep in the 997-entry field of this $3K buy-in tournament. It was a best-ever cash for Seattle’s Matthew Schwagler, rising 400 places to #984 via a 25th place finish. It was 12th place for Krishna Vitaldevara of Woodinville, Washington, who has a massive 5100-spot rise to #1680 with another best-ever cash. And North Vancouver, British Columbia’s Jonas Mackoff finished just ahead of Vitaldevara in 11th place, but holds at #40.

Until the next time!

Too much going on to jawbone right now. I’m going to do this chronologically because so many people are cashing in the same events.

Don’t think I’ve mentioned this for a while, but the Pacific Northwest Poker Leaderboard is compiled poker tournament stats for the states and provinces of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, British Columbia, and Alberta. I try to put a report together every two weeks, but it’s a labor of love, so real life can slow me down sometimes.

James Romero GPI: 216 was 5th in a field of 107 at the Merit Poker./partypoker MILLIONS North Cyprus #13 $500K GTD NLHE High Roller. It appears as if the 50 re-entries (at $10.5K each) were not counted as part of the reported entries, the total prize pool was $1.44M. Romero went on to cash 68th at the World Series of Poker #17 NLHE Millionaire Maker. Romero holds at #5 on the PNW Poker Leaderboard.

Vancouver BC’s Harpreet Gill GPI: 3415 jumps more than a hundred places on the Leaderboard to #84 by taking 3rd place in another event at the same series, the $5.5K buy-in Merit/partypoker #23 $3M GTD NLHE. That tournament posted 556 entries and 283 re-entries, with a prize pool of $3.8M. It’s Gill’s best-ever cash.

On the other side of the world—at Round Rock, Texas’s The Lodge Millionaire Mayhem #4 $1.25M GTD NLHE Main Event Michael Bernstein of Edmonton GPI: 4384 placed 13th out of 1,621 to climb 350 places to #967.

World Series of Poker Event #4 $5M GTD NLHE The Reunion

The Reunion was the big kickoff event for the returning WSOP and it pulled in nearly 13,000 entries, making a prize pool of $5.45M from $500 buy-ins. Four players from the PNW made it deep enough to be picked up by my tracker. Out of Roseburg, Sandra Bratton GPI: 27964 came in 48th. That’s the top 0.4% for those of you thinking 48th doesn’t sound so hard. Bratton goes from #2375 to #1810. Ryan Stoker (Spokane) moved up nine spots to #165 with 42nd place, before going on to win a bracelet after stats were compiled for this Leaderboard (I’m not sure if WSOP Online stats will get rolled into Hendon Mob leaderboards, but congrats, Ryan). Stoker is GPI: 1667. Seattle’s Katsushi Yoshida GPI: 4095 picked up a best-ever cash for 26th place and rises to #1686, nearly 1200 spots on the Leaderboard. Also from Seattle: Cheang Yoo, the 25th-place finisher. Yoo GPI: 644 is up to #344 from #400.

Steven Sporre from North Plains, Washington got their first-ever Hendon Mob cash with a 4th-place in the Orleans 2021 Fall Poker $75K GTD NLHE. Sporre is GPI: 40274 and debuts on the Leaderboard at #4259.

From Renton, Maria Pearlie Tapang GPI: 17111 goes from #6439 to #2993 after taking 3rd place (their best-ever cash) in Venetian Deepstack Championship #6 $50K GTD NLHE MonsterStack. That event got 205 entries.

Back over at the Rio, it was Adam Hendrix GPI: 2 in another big buy-in tournament, the WSOP #6 NLHE 6-Max High Roller. Hendrix took 8th of 135, in a prize pool of more than $3M. Hendrix’s position on the Leaderboard stays at #24.

Sean Fitzpatrick from Mill Creek, Washington GPI: 26166 won the Rio Daily Deepstack Series NLHE 7PM on 3 October. Fitpatrick beat 134 other entries and climbs almost 900 spots on the Leaderboard, to #2054.

Out of Eugene, William Tinoco moves from #1863 to #1289 by taking 4th out of 263 in a Wynn Fall Classic $200K GTD NLHE. It’s Tinoco’s GPI: 12488 best-ever cash.

The first PNW bracelet of the season goes to Jaswinder Lally from Vancouver, British Columbia, in only his third recorded tournament cash, in WSOP #7 Dealer’s Choice 6-Max. Lally GPI: 6726 moves from #6535 to #643. Nice to see that particular bracelet come back to the PNW!

https://twitter.com/WSOP/status/1445626721990942722?s=20

World Series of Poker Event #8 NLHE Deepstack

The first of the $600 buy-in events this year drew 4,527 entries, and there were only three players from the PNW who made it to the Leaderboard from there (others cashed but not for enough to make it into this report). Chris Niemeyer of Lake Stevens GPI:16110 came in 28th; putting them on the Leaderboard for the first time at #4071. Yakima’s Theodore Demoe GPI: 6810 made it to 21st, and has a new Leaderboard ranking of #3915. GPI: 11192 Marty Stephens from Coos Bay placed 16th, their best-ever cash and a clip of 1500 places to #2382.

Moving up the Leaderboard from #18 to #17 is George Wolff, with a 6th place finish out of the 134 entrants in WSOP #9 Omaha Hi-Lo Championship and 23rd in the WSOP #25 NLHE 6-Max. Wolff is GPI: 1129.

Portland’s own Wayne Harmon was 48th out of 1,790 entries in the Wynn $1M GTD NLHE. The prize pool was nearly $2.6M. Harmon GPI: 624 is up more than twenty spots on the Leaderboard, to #205.

Sukhpaul Dhaliwal from Langley, British Columbia GPI: 4562 took 5th in the WSOP #10 NLHE Super Turbo Bounty, beating 1,635 other players to move two spots up on the Leaderboard to #59.

I’m including Tacoma’s Bin Weng GPI: 12466 in this edition of the Leaderboard even though the +47% ROI they made from their 5th-place finish in WSOP #11 NLHE Heads-Up Championship wasn’t nearly enough to get a mention, usually. (They’re going to make it into the next edition without a problem, from results posted since I ran this collation.) But you have to admire the sheer balls of someone with $12K in recorded tournament earnings and just three cashes, ponying up $25K to play heads-up matches with the likes of Adrian Mateos—Weng’s first match, Dan Zack—Weng’s third match and the player who knocked them out of the tournament, David Peters, and Cary Katz. I mean, jeez. Weng’s cash takes them from #3551 to #1296.

Vancouver, Washington’s Kevin Erickson almost won a bracelet in WSOP #12 LHE, losing heads-up to Yuval Bronshtein. The limit hold’em event drew 422 entries. Erickson’s third and best tournament cash leapfrogs him over more than four thousand other players on the Leaderboard to #784.

Landen Lucas, Portland still, according to Hendon Mob, GPI: 290 has a two-fer, with 10th place in the WSOP #13 NLHE Freezeout followed up by 33rd place (out of 5,326) in WSOP #17 NLHE Millionaire Maker. Lucas goes from #353 to #271 on the Leaderboard.

Puyallup’s Rafael Lebron GPI: 2927 was the next PNW player to win a bracelet, in WSOP #14 Seven-Card Stud, not the one where Phil Hellmuth threatened to burn down the Rio, the other one, where LeBron bested David Williams among others.It’s Lebron’s second bracelet, and the victory moves him up 19 places on the Leaderboard to #89.

World Series of Poker Event #15 NLHE 6-Max

Two PNW players made the last few tables of this 1,450-entry tournament. Just missing the final two tables at 13th place was Jonas Mackoff of North Vancouver, British Columbia, GPI: 4858. That’s goof for three spots on the Leaderboard, they’re now #40. 8th place was Kirkland player Jonathan Baylor‘s largest score GPI: 2704; it’s a climb of nearly two thousand places on the Leaderboard for them, to #1352.

The legendary Terrence Chan GPI: 10620 was at the final table of WSOP #16 LHE Championship, coming in 4th. 92 players put up the $10K entry fee; Chan remains at #33 on the Leaderboard.

It was a notable first recorded cash, in 8th at the Grand Poker Series #22 $500K GTD NLHE for Phillip Latimer of Moses Lake, Washington. Latimer debuts on the Leaderboard at #3475.

World Series of Poker Event #17 NLHE Millionaire Maker

In addition to James Romero (mentioned above) five other PNW players had significant cashes in the Millionaire Maker this year. Anchorage’s Kristy Becker GPI:16854 busted just after Romero, in 67th, and moves from #1436 to #1170 on the Leaderboard. Bruce Herman of Ellensberg, Washington #16814 achieved their best cash with 72nd, enough to climb more than 700 places to #1835. Vanessa Kade GPI:465 moves up six positions to #122 with a 75th place finish (followed by 19th in the WSOP #25 NLHE 6-Max). Climbing nine spots to #124 is Bellevue’s Dien Le, GPI: 179 who made the final two tables at 17th. And on the final table, picking up their best-ever cash was GPI: 6323 Adam Sherman of Seattle at 8th. Sherman goes from #903 to #359.

Seth Davies has to make an appearance in the Leaderboard each edition by contractual obligation, and this time is no excepton. with a 3rd-place finish in Aria High Roller 25 NLHE. 22 entries, looking at the payouts, there may have been a 4-way deal between Davies, Jake Schindler, Nick Petrangelo, and Stephen Chidwick. Davies GPI: 50 remains #1 on the Leaderboard and just keeps putting space between himself and everyone else,

339 players entered the Wynn $200K GTD NLHE and Seattle’s Brian Heeb came in 7th. Heeb is up nearly 200 places on the Leaderboard, at #1073.

World Series of Poker Event #21 PLO8/O8/Big O

Charles Coultas of Mill Creek, Washington GPI: 6961 was the 10th-place finisher in this event with 641 entries. Coultas climbs three places on the Leaderboard to #85. The winner of the bracelet was Dylan Linde, #6 on the Leaderboard and GPI: 112, bringing yet another bracelet to the PNW.

Darren Kennedy GPI:31626 of White Rock, British Columbia bested me by 79 places in the WSOP #27 HORSE, coming in 5th and moving up about eighty places to #313.

A Tale of Two—Maybe Three—Kaos

And that brings us to the the other PNW player who was at the HORSE final table: Kao “Flexx” Saechao. That’s the Seattle-area Kao, who placed 4th in the tournament and posted a number of other results the time period covered by this edition of the Leaderboard, including a min-cash in the Millionaire Maker. The problem is, Washington Kao’s results get mixed into those of Oregon’s Kao Saechao, not only the final table finish of the HORSE but even to the point where the results of both Kaos were attributed to Oregon Kao

Yes, Portland's Kao Saechao cashed in the Millionaire Maker. No, he did not cash twice in the same event, @TheHendonMob.https://t.co/ZhkaNtoMF3#YearOfKao pic.twitter.com/wo6eRf2vaH

— Poker Mutant (@pokermutant) October 17, 2021

Not to be outdone, Kerry Moynahan posted on Facebook that two other players with the his name cashing in an event at the Venetian last year.

In any event, I can’t reliable rank either Kao because there’s a mixup of results, and that throws everything else into flux. Not by much, but some. Anyway, great job, both Flexx and Kao. Between the two of them, they’ve got four WSOP cashes and a win in a Daily Deepstack in the past couple of weeks.

That’s all for now!

it was a pretty restrained month for me. I fire up a lot of online tournaments—about one a day, on the average this year—but for various reasons I skipped a bunch of days this month, so the total to evaluate is remarkably small. It may be the smallest total I’ve posted in a month for over a decade.

1 July

My favorite, the Ignition Casino $5K GTD NLHE Thousandaire Maker. It’s a $75 buyin freezeout, with a $7 fee, and for about 7% of the players, there’s a $1K cash payout. Basically a satellite with money payout. This one got 73 entries, I busted in 43rd place.

6 July

The first live poker I’d played since early March 2020. The Portland Meadows NLHE $1500 WSOP Satellite. I got there late, so the lot was jam-packed, but I parked a few blocks down Killingsworth and hiked to the club. I didn’t get there until the big blind was already 600, managed to eke it out to 18th of 70. $100 buyin with a $20 door fee.

Then a long gap.

23 July

Yes, I really didn’t play a hand of poker—live or online—for two-and-a-half weeks. Weird.But with the return of the home game that started my time in 21st-century poker coming up, I fired up Ignition to play the nightly $2K GTD NLHE 6-Max Turbo. This $20 buyin/$2 fee game starts out slow, with a lot of players flocking to the last stages to just throw their money at the wall to see if it sticks. Mostly, it doesn’t, because there are a few people like myself who aren’t afraid to punish people for their stupidity. About a third of the entries are re-entry (2 allowed), but I almost never ever do, because as I’ve said forever, rebuys are for suckers. This game got 129 entries (including 40 re-entries). Paid 24 places, I came in 11th and made a whopping 104% ROI. Only down $179 for the month so far.

Haven't played live or online for a couple weeks, but after listening to @HipHop101Trivia on all the podcasts, fired up @IgnitionCasino in the $2K GTD NLHE 6-Max and I'm chip leader 2nd break in a row w just 9 to the money (18 pay) pic.twitter.com/2yFxpH3uNk

24 July

Went to the home game for the first time in seventeen months. Outdoor deck in Tigard, Saw all the old gang, heard all the old jokes. Busted 6/9 with my signature Mutant Jack hand [ah jh] to aces from the host, Vic. $30 buyin and a $5 addon. Got out in time to hit the Joy Cinema where I was working as a cashier/projectionist/toilet cleaner/food handler for the 9:15 show of Road Warrior and chatted with my friend (for more than 35 years) and former boss Jeff “Punk Rock” Martin. Down $214 for the month, not counting my movie ticket, popcorn, and Diet Coke.

25 July

Another $22 NLHE 6-Max Turbo. This one’s slightly larger, with 146 entries (45 re-entry). Still 24 paid but this time I make it to 10th. Still only 130% ROI for two-and-a-half hours. Down $185 for July.

Another near miss of a final table, going out 10/142 in last night's $2K 6-Max Turbo. Only had the lead briefly well before we hit the money at 24 and was near the bottom on the bubble, so I'm not too disappointed.

— Poker Mutant (@pokermutant) July 26, 2021

26 July

Making the 6-Max a nightly thing, but this game I don’t even make it to the end of the entry period. Out 33 of 63 (at the time). Just 33 minutes. Down $207.

27 July

Another cash in the 6-Max. I get very lucky a couple of times but end up oout in 18th place after two hours and 40 minutes. 149 entries with 44 re-entries and 24 paid ($710 up top). My take is 68% ROI. Down $192.

Busted well short of the money in the Monday night $2K GTD 6-Max, min-cashed in Tuesday night’s (18/148) but had to crack AA (flopped a set w 88 and got them to call it off) and KK (aipf w JT) to do it. Out w AK < big stack JJ < ATs (shorter stack made flush) aipf w 15bb effect.

— Poker Mutant (@pokermutant) July 28, 2021

28 July

I fire up Ignition a little earlier than the 10pm 5-Max after a couple of work nights where I was up past 1am and get into the 8pm $1K GTD PLO Turbo. I took 2nd in one of these smaller tournaments at the end of June, I’m a big fan of the Great Game of PLO™, but I fall far short in this one: 27th of 45 entries. Buyin is $15 with a $1,5 fee, no re-entry, which is kind of refreshing in a PLO game. Down $209.

29 July

Another PLO Turbo. No dice. 30th of 47 (neither this night or the previous nighyt reached the end of registration, so that’s not an accurate number of the total entries. Down $226 for the month.

30 July

Back to the 6-Max Turbo. These games—like most turbos—tend to be short-stacked in the final stages, but it’s easy to make mistakes like shoving into the aces of the guy who’s just gotten lucky against your pair. Anyway, 7th of 135 (40 re-entries). $648 up top but I get a 268% ROI. Just over three hours. Down $167.

Exact bubbled the FT in the 6-Max. Short stack shoved 97 w 12 left and I called w #snowmenNumNum, he caught 9 and chipped up from there playing loose and eventually I shoved into his aces. Cashed 5 of the ten 6-Max tournaments I played June/July, but nothing better than 7th.

31 July

Got into the ⁦@IgnitionCasino⁩ $1K PLO 15 minutes before first break with 10K chips. pic.twitter.com/ucUQRfyr50

— Poker Mutant (@pokermutant) August 1, 2021

The start of this tournament was almost laughable. You begin with 10K in chips. I came in at the 80/160 level and was down a couple thousand (15bb) in the first four hands. I doubled up on hand 5 when someone called my nut flush (and the nuts) on the river, I won the next two hands and doubled through the chip leader, then I doubled again just before the first break, knocking out the former chip leader and two others. I hit a set on the flop and we all managed to get everything in. I held against several draws. Had some setbacks in the next hour, but was back upon top by the second break.

There wwere 78 entries in the tournament and a prize pool of $1,185. 17 places paid. My time in the tournament was almost exactly two hours and forty minutes (total time would have been 3:20) and I was there until the last, when my aces ran into a flopped two pair HU and I couldn’t recover. 1035% ROI! I end the month up $9! Just short of 20 hours. 45¢ an hour.

Hubris, thy name is PLO. Doubled up the adversary when he hit a straight draw on the river against my aces just after the break, and it was 2nd place for me.
