Kalen Carslaw outlasted the namesake of the Johnny Chan Poker Classic in Richmond, B.C., Monday, as he played his way to the top of the field in the short-handed $500 No-Limit Hold'em event.
The Montreal, Que., native won $71,500 for his first-place result and the distinction of having outplayed some of poker's top pros.
In addition to Chan, the Day 2 event featured appearances by pros Brad "Yukon" Booth and Lacey Jones.
The top 10 placements are as follows:
| Place | Name | Province | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Kalen Carslaw | Montreal, Que. | $71,500 |
| 2nd | David Quyen Tien | Victoria, B.C. | $44,000 |
| 3rd | Colin Hughes | Point Edward, Ont. | $27,5000 |
| 4th | Cal Verne Dustin | Langley, B.C. | $22,000 |
| 5th | Andrew Epstein | Vancouver, B.C. | $16,500 |

| 9th | Daniel Joffe | Vancouver, B.C. | $6,600 |
| 10th | Elton Ngan | Vancouver, B.C. | $5,500 |
Like Day 1, Monday's event - the second of the tournament at River Rock Casino - also sold out.
On the schedule for today is a $500,000 Pot-Limit Texas Hold'em event featuring a $1,000+$100 buy-in limited to 500 players.
