MVP?!?

Thanks to ev1 for coming out on Saturday nite! We had 12 players for a $1200 pot! When the dust finally settled - the final four left standing to fight it out for the 9th seat to the TOC were Jimmy, Dennis, Joe, and myself. Oscar aka "bubble boy" that nite bought Jimmy's chips for a 2nd chance to defend his bracelet. That was short lived as he was the first one out in 4th position. Dennis landed in the 3rd spot for the 2nd straight week. Leaving myself and "Not-ur-Avg" Joe to duke it out for 1st. When we went heads-up the chip counts stood at my 14K to Joe's 11.5K. With my seat already locked up to the main event this summer Joe and I decided to split 55/45. Congrats to Joe for securing his seat right behind his wife Rose who won last week! This was the 9th tournament we have played since re-opening after Hurricane Ike shut us down and your boy BIGT has finished 'ITM' (In The Money) every single time! I knew I shoulda started that poker league I was talking about last year to send someone to Vegas HA! Prolly never have takers now :) Can you say MVP?!?
**Remember no games this week as we head to New Orleans for some WSOP circuit action!

"That was a crazy game of poker"

You know that song by OAR? That's what I'm jamming as I blog last week's action. We had 12 players with a total prize pool of $1150! Anytime we have 12 or more players we play on 2 tables with 4 scheduled payouts. With a brand new structure in place we reached 500/1K blinds for the first time in this tourneys history! Mind you this is a tourney with only a 400 starting chip stack with blinds that start out at 1/2! The idea behind this is to finish in time for a cash game afterwards for those who decide to hang around for the action. We just started this a few weeks ago and have had great success. When heads-up play began BIGT had 7500 to Rose's 15K. It was an epic battle as play continued for almost an hour but in the end Rose emerged as this week's champion! Congratulations to Rose on a well played game and for securing her spot in the TOC! With only 3 spots remaining.. who will claim their chance at this summer's 2nd bracelet event? R-U-N?!?
