Buckle your chin strap and put your game face on, it looks like this one will be BIG! Come out and say goodbye to Ken "Crazy KZ" Zapatos on Saturday "Player" style. We are pulling out all the stops with all day satellites starting at 1 PM. The main event will be a re-buy tournament and will kick off at 8 PM. So far there is a lot of interest and I think we may
shatter our all-time largest prize pool. I don't know if it will come to this, but if it is "too" popular I will cap the entries at 40.
If you can give me a call or email and let me know if you will be coming, and if you plan on bringing friends (always OK). If possible bring a folding chair or two--Mike B has already committed to bringing a few, but we may run out. Some food may and beverages may be available in the early afternoon, but you are encouraged to bring your own, or have a plan to get something. Also, you are perfectly welcome to indulge in adult beverages, just have a reliable plan to get home (God knows, I'll be in no shape to get you home).
See you tomorrow and Good Luck (gl for all you internet heroes)...
Once the field of 30 was paired down to 5 the contestants formulated an equal five way chop, but reserved about 3% of the total prize pool and played for the remaining cash. Andy emerged the champ just a few minutes later. The evening was a big success with the tournament ending around 12:15 AM. The cash game continued on until after 7 AM.
Who says 9 4 off suit is a trash hand? Certainly not this guy! Not only did Nick win the whole thing with this hand, he also ended the tournament lives of 3 others with the very same hole cards. In our largest re-buy tournament to date Nick blasted through a field of 30 and took down a rather sizable prize (also the largest to date).
Not this guy!!! Actually, it was me, but I crippled J's stack by cracking is AA with a far inferior hand. At that point I made a deal with him... If I win I'd post his picture again. The tournament was a big success. We had 19 players with a total of 60 buy-ins, re-buys, and add-ons!! That's right our biggest prize pool to date. As usual a cash game ensued and Alex was a big winner. Again, I'm a little late on the post, but better late than never (I am a terrible blogger). I made a deal with Lynn, no more big poker nights until she leaves. So the next game won't be until 14 or 15 Sep. I'll post details very soon, I am considering playing a bounty freeze-out... let me know if that sounds interesting!
