Christian Lortie Cloutier Sets The Bar High At Okada Millions Flight A

Level 18: 3,000 / 6,000 ante: 6,000

Christian Lortie Cloutier

In just over eight hours, Okada Millions wrapped up Flight A with 24 players out of 202 entries advancing to the ITM round out. At the top of that list was Canadian player Christian Lortie Cloutier who bagged up 700,000 (116 bb), thus setting the bar very high for the next flights.

Cloutier's run was filled with lucky moments starting with a double up pushing T♦ 7♦ that went on to crack Kai Ping Choo's J♠ J♥ when three diamonds showed up. A couple of levels later, he was all in with A♦ T♥ and survived Kento Chogo's A♠ K♠ when a ten landed on the river. To complete the hat trick, Cloutier was all in with pocket Queens that improved to a set to double up off Choi Younsik's pocket Kings.

Cloutier is a PokerStars LIVE circuit regular and has ran deep at numerous events by the brand in Manila, Philippines. In this series, he has already clinched a win at the Hot Hyper Turbo.

Flight A also saw two-time champion Jose Colada in the field but ran into a cooler that sent his stack down to just 1 bb from which he was unable to recover.

The 24 survivors are listed below. They are each guaranteed a piece of the PHP 5 Million guaranteed prize pool and have a few night's break as they await the results of the remaining six flights. Day 2 is on Sunday, April 13, 2025 at 1pm.
