On Friday night, the CAD $1,100 World Poker Tour (WPT) Prime Playground Championship, which had attracted 1,587 runners over four starting flights, crowned a winner in Yunkyu Song, who won a CAD $241,620 first-place prize plus a seat into December’s WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas.

PokerNewswas on-site for the action-packed tournament, and during that time the WPT Live Reporting Team (shoutout to Liam Gannon, David Salituro, and Ryan Lashmar) captured some game-changing hands.

Here’s a look at five big hands from the WPT Prime Playground Championship as reported in the WPT live blog.

What a Hero Call!

Senthuran Vijayaratnam

On Day 2 in Level 23 (20,000/40,000/40,000), 34 players remained when Timothy Rutherford min-raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Senthuran Vijayaratnam defended the big blind to see a flop of 1074.

Vijayaratnam check-called a bet of 110,000 and then check-called one of 325,000 on the 8turn. When the 2completed the board on the river, Vijayaratnam checked for a third time and Rutherford bet 850,000.

Vijayaratnam burned a time extension before calling with the Q4for just fourth pair, but it was the right call as Rutherford had been bluffing with his AJ.

It was a massive pot that put Vijayaratnam up to 111 big blinds, while Rutherford busted a short time later in 31st place.

With just 30 players remaining in the tournament, it was Level 24 (25,000/50,000/50,000) when Yunkyu Song raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and Srikanth Gundela jammed for 705,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and Song quickly called.

Srikanth Gundela: QQ
Yunkyu Song: KK

It was a cooler and Gundela was on the bad end of it. He was looking to get lucky and picked up a seat when the 109Jflop delivered him a straight flush draw, though only the 8would help him as Song had the better flush draw with a king.

Unfortunately for Gundela, neither the 10turn nor 10river helped him and he hit the rail in 30th place for $6,287.

On Day 3, just 13 players remained in Level 28 (75,000/125,000/125,000) when Raymond Carter and Zeyu Huang saw a flop of Q64. The former bet 300,000 from the under-the-gun-position and the latter check-raised to 850,000 from the big blind. Carter proceeded to moved all in for 3.6 million and Huang burned a few time extensions before making the call.

Raymond Carter: KK
Zeyu Huang: A9

Carter was ahead with pocket kings but Huang had a flush draw with an over. The Kwas good for Carter as it improved him to a set, but unfortunately for him, the river was the 3to give Huang a winning flush.

"Nasty, Ray. What are you going to do?" Robin Wezelenburg offered from across the table. Carter received CAD $15,400 for his 13th-place finish.

Four-handed play at the final table began on Hand #39 And the next player didn’t fall until Hand #123. It happened in Level 33 (200,000/400,000/400,000) when Zeyu Huang raised to 800,000 under the gun and Yunkyu Song called out of the small blind.

When the flop fell Q63, Huang bet 1.8 million and Song raised to 4.6 million. The former then moved all in and the latter snap-called while saying, “I have a set.”

Indeed, Song tabled the 66for a set of sixes and was ahead of Huang’s KKoverpair. The Jturn left Huang looking for a king on the river, but it wasn’t in the cards as the 9peeled off instead.

Huang was eliminated in fourth place for CAD $85,000.

Another Bad Beat to End the Tournament

The final hand of the tournament, which was Hand #167 of the final table, took place in Level 34 (250,000/500,000/500,000). Kevin Rivest raised to 1.5 million and Song three-bet to 5.5 million. Rivest then moved all in for 12.5 million total and Song called.

Kevin Rivest: AQ
Yunkyu Song: AJ

Rivest had the best of it, but unfortunately for him, the flop came down KJ5to pair Song. Neither the 3turn nor 4river changed a thing and Rivest had to settle for second place and CAD $152,000 in prize money.
