Sorry it took me so long to post this but I ended up getting pulled away on something and didn’t get a chance to get to post until this morning.
We had a impressive field of 31 players for the first event which added $310 to the eventual prize pool. As expected, it became a bit of a slugout as players fought hard and played their best poker for the top two spots. The winners, CJ and -EV played well against the competition and have secured themselves seats at the six person shootout in Dec.
The final table included some good players and the poker chips were evenly enough distributed that no player was out of reach of the top spot. That made for a good battle.
Good playing by all!!!! Join us next Sunday when we play event #2.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.

Gnomes are evil.
That is all.
Hi Bill,
I was curious of your screen name on Full Tilt (I appoligize for my ignorance but I’m a fairly new reader of your blog and can’t find the info anywere). I was curious because I finished 4th in Full Tilt’s 12k last night but noticed someone named Scuba33(I think) make the final 20 or so.
Thanks!
And I’ve played Jedi quite a bit out of that list. He’s a solid player, he’s everywhere.
Gnomes are funloving woodland creatures who adore you.
I think I’ll go out at the top 80% mark in event #2 and they slay everyone to win event #3. Just my thoughts… ;)
