Sunday Happenings!
Two tournaments were played on Sunday. First, Event #1 of the 2008 season was played at 1:00. 44 people showed up and at the end, Tomi H and newcomer Rick S battled for 1st. First Rick doubled through, Tomi, then Tomi doubled through Rick before Tomi and Rick got them all in again with Tomi's A3 needing to catch up with Rick's A7. On the turn, it did in a big way when she made a straight. No 3 on the river meant Tomi won Event #1 and begins the year with 25 pts, going a long ways towards the 1st quarter Invitational and even a good start to the Yearly standings.
Event #2 will be a 1.5 pt tournament on the 2nd, Saturday, of February at 1:00
The 2nd tournament was the 18-person Qualifier for the final 4 spots into the Championship. 15 players showed and the big hands drove the play. Tomi's 45 flopped the wheel when Bjorn flopped 2 pair with A2. Cowboy caught quads. Matt B and Scott K got them all in on a Q high board with 11 players left. Both had KQ, Matt B was freerolling with KQc with one club on the board. The improbably became reality as the board went runner-runner club to make our final table. Tomi, Bjorn, and Cory B busted fairly early at the final table to leave Cornhusker, Tim F, Slinger, Tallywacker, Big Slick, Matt B, and Cowboy.
Tallywacker would knock out Slinger with KQ against 99, the Q coming after the board ran out T763. Tallywacker would then bust after seeing a 4 handed flop of 653 with AJ and Big Slick holding 52. Matt B would be our Championship bubble as his A9 hit on an AK7 flop, but Tim F was holding pocket 7's to win the hand.
Good luck to everyone on the 10th of February as you battle for the 5 prizes, including the WSOP seat!

Rename this blog!! If you are going to be spewing political tirade mixed with the traditional unhappiness of modern America, get a new blog. Last time I checked this was the poker blog. If I stumbled on these posts, looking for a poker story, I'd run screaming from this site so fast! Aren't these things free anyway, go find another blog to pollute with politics and general malcontent. This one is for poker!!
