Mayukh Chakraborty has won the WSOP Super Circuit Canada Main Event at Playground in Kahnawake, Quebec, earning CA$1.5 million and his first Circuit ring. WSOP confirmed the result in its September 10 report.

The CA$5,000 event recorded 2,844 entries and a CA$12,689,928 prize pool. WSOP described it as the largest poker tournament held in Canada. That record description comes from the organiser; DIP has not independently audited every Canadian tournament.

The top four

  • Mayukh Chakraborty: CA$1,500,000.
  • Benjamin Veenstra: CA$1,000,000.
  • Jack Salter: CA$750,000.
  • Chance Kornuth: CA$600,000.

These are Canadian-dollar payouts, not US dollars or Philippine pesos. “Entries” should not be read as a verified count of unique individual players. The winner received a Circuit ring, not a WSOP bracelet.

A completed result, not another schedule preview

For readers following the international Circuit, the important development is that this event now has a confirmed champion and a reported final prize pool. A guarantee advertised before play and the money reported after entries close are different figures. This report uses the final pool in the organiser's results announcement.

Our cover is an original DIP results graphic, not an official WSOP poster or a photograph of the winner. It compares the top three reported payouts on the same scale.

DIP's view

A useful results story should make it easy to distinguish the winner, the size of the field, the currency and the award. It should not turn a headline payout into an implied return for an ordinary entrant. The winner's prize is a sporting result, not a promise that travelling to a similar event is financially sensible.

We are reporting the outcome here, not inventing a final-hand analysis. The cited results report is sufficient for the placements above; a strategic reconstruction would require a reliable hand history.
