Sunday wrapped up the last tournament for the Fall Pot of Gold Tourney in Reno, NV. The turn out was definitely not as good as projected based on their Spring event. But my results were good and I feel as though I am playing excellent poker; 6 final tables was the best in the tournament. The next runner up was 3. It would have been great if they would have had a best all-around as I would have taken that down.
The recap was:
1 first place finish
1 fifth place finish
1 sixth place finish
1 ninth place finishe
2 tenth place finishes
I was also on the bubble from making the money in 6 out of the other 10 events within 1-5 places. The fifth and sixth place finishes I took horrible beats getting in with the best hand with one guy hitting a 4% card and the other hitting a 14% card. Otherwise I would have at least 1 more first place finish and possibly 2.
For of the those of you that have not heard, another Portland poker player friend of mine Jordan Rich was playing in Las Vegas at the Bellagio in the 15K event and today is at the final table of 6 players if he goes out 6th he wins 180K but if he wins it he will take down the 2.5 Million dollar first prize. It would be great to see if he did. I believe both of us will be playing out in Tunica, Mississippi in January to start the new year.
Card Player Magazine player of the year starts out in Mississippi for the 2008 season and we want to get off to a good start there to be top of the leader board. The recognition and sponsor opportunities if you get out to an early start are great. And with my play being so good right now I feel we have a great shot to be up there early and carry it out through the year.
For those of you who are part of the Professional poker LLC I will be sending out the year end results from July - December in the next few days.
Until January...
