Shijaudin Sha Sends Benjamin Coombs to the Rail

The Win the Button tournament format makes blind versus blind spots a little different. On this hand, Shijaudin Sha was in the small blind. He shoved all in and had Benjamin Coombs covered. Coombs called off his remaining stack with {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Sha had {9-Spades}{4-Spades}.

The board ran out to {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades} and gave Sha a straight, eliminating Coombs. Sha won the hand, but the table broke immediately after the hand so he moved to new table where he was not the button.

World Cup of Cards Tournament Leaderboard Update

Jason Conforti - TLB Leader
Jason Conforti - TLB Leader

The World Cup of Cards is approaching the halfway point of its tournament schedule and Jason Conforti is on top of the tournament leaderboard.

Playground Poker is offering more than CAD $10,000 in prizes to the top leaderboard finishers, including a CAD $8,000 Carribean Poker Party Package. Right now, Conforti leads Charles La Boissonniere at the top of the leaderboard with 705.3 points. La Boissonniere most recently finished second to Tommy Coulombe in the All-Stars for Starlight tournament earlier this week. Conforti finished 80th in that tournament and has three final tables this week. He finished eighth (CAD $460) in Event #4: No-Limit Hold em Freeze, sixth (CAD $500) in Event #7: Crazy Pineapple Knockout, and sixth (CAD $340) in Event #10: 8-Max Dealer's Choice.

Conforti is sitting at just above starting stack so far today, but his next closest leaderboard threat has already been eliminated. With some of the bigger buy in events coming up, and Day 2 of the Quantum still looking, it's anyone's guess who will finish on top.

Here is a list of the top 10 players on the WCC leaderboard.

Event #12: Win the Button, Starts at Noon

Welcome to continuing coverage of the World Cup of Cards (WCC) from Playground Poker Club. Today is Event #12: Win the Button. This is a CAD $110 buy in No- Limit Hold em tournament with a CAD $4,000. The starting stack is 15,000 and the levels are 20 minutes. It's basically a No-Limit Hold em tournament with one difference. That difference is actually a pretty big deal and should lead to an action packed day; you have to win a hand to get the button.

The WCC schedule has been a fun one, with several non-Hold em events and events such as this. With buyins ranging from $100 all the way to $5,000, the WCC has something for everyone, from the most loyal Playground Poker regular, to traveling players looking for some value. They even scheduled a tournament that raised more than $20,000 for the Starlight Foundation Canada earlier in the series.

Event #12 of the World Cup of Cards kicks off at noon.
