Today I got up at 4am to get ready to catch an early flight to LA so I could check into my hotel and head to the Bicycle Casino for my first Event in the Legends poker classic. The event was the 2nd event of about 30 and was a 345 buy-in no-limit event. After registration closed there was a total of 333 entrants. As the month goes the amount of players will increase and will double on weekends. So with that it put the prize pool just over 160k. They put the payouts on the board at the first break and you had to make it in the top 27 to make the money. I really dont have any crazy hands to talk about as it was a pretty uneventful day. To make a long story short I took 13th which paid $1,615. The hand I went out on was one person limped in middle position and I looked down on the dealer button with 88 so I moved all in and was called by the limper who held AQ he hit a Queen on the flop so I needed one of the remaining two eights in the deck and didnt get either one. So for the company we have played in 3 tournaments and have cashed in 2, and are 1 for 1 for the Legends tourney so far. I will try to write in the blog every night I play.
It looks like pokerpages.com will be the online site to have coverage of the events but I will confirm that tomorrow.
Until our next cash....
