Thanks to a fortuitous nine on the river, allowing him to crack pocket aces, Raw Deal host Tony Dunst has locked up a seat at Thursday’s final table in the partypoker WPT Canadian Spring Championship at Playground Poker Club.
Dunst, who is in search of his second World Poker Tour title, is fourth in chips with 1.73 million. The chip leader is Ruben Perceval, who has nearly 4.4 million. Perceval only has $60,000 in career live tournament earnings, and can more than double that with a fourth-place finish or better.
