The three tournaments have been played and the six contestants at our Shooutout in the Desert have been finalized. After a tough battle, Facty and Royal came out on top in this week’s battle for the final six in the desert. The week before, bdidde and TNSpaceman took the top honors. And, of course, our first week’s winners were none other than -EV and CJ. With all three events in the bag, that leaves a winner-take-all prize pool of $990 up for grabs.

The Shootout will be played either at the conclusion of the regular WPBT tournament or once all six of the Shootout players have been knocked out of the main WPBT tournament. Good luck to all!

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.

Thanks for having these tourneys, Bill. They were a blast!
Once again, he who cracks my aces, wins.
At least I’m good luck for other people.
