SEASON 10 CHAMPS


 

New Winners Circle

  • Congrats to Cameron Lyons!  And to Simon for being a great coach!

  • Good job Rod! Unfortunately I haven't kept up on action at the tables or overall games, so from here on it will just be a Congrats to the winners.

    So, Congrats Rod!

  • Good job Jerry! The way you're wearing your new swag seems to go well with the way you play sometimes.  But gotta respect your willingness to take some odd risks and get the chips in there.  When it works you end up with a huge pile of chips at the final table like you did for this event.  Well done!  (maybe next year we can do sneakers for swag and you might actual wear them in public!)

  • Congratulations to my man Matt!  Good job, sir! I had to scrounge up a picture from a previous win (sometime back it seems :/ ) because I forgot to capture the moment. 

  • Good for you Steve, on another win!  Not much to report, Im afraid.  Steve playing his game and people giving up their chips makes for a big stack at the final table.  Shout out to Thomas Lee for talking steve into a three way chop(15% left uo top) for a little extra equity!!!

  • Very nice to have one of our recent additions make it to the winners circle! Congrats Will! I dont know how he managed to get to final table but he arrived with big stack.  He swung that big willy of  stack around, driving the action with apparently random hands.  RichSimmons was short stacked while 4 handed and went all in for his last 8 or 10 blinds with KQo.  Will rather quickly and with a teeny tiny portion of his stack called off in the big blind with 63suited.  Rich didnt have to wait long as the flop was 393rainbow. oof!

  • Cheers to Mr. Goldstein! Unfrotunately, I ended up leaving early (due to illness or did I just get knocked out, hmm?) so I didn't get to see any of the Goldstein magic.  Reports are that the man simply couldn't lose, and knocked out a majority of the players (15!!) on his warpath to the final table. He was knocking them out 2 and 3 at a time for the entire night.  In fact, the final hand had him playing 3 handed with Greg - obviously attempting back to back wins - and Justin, riding his Highball and a short stack.  Steve was holding AJ when the money went all in preflop against pocket 4's and KQo.  With the window card a Jack and a clean run out he took the prize straight up.  Good job dude!

  • Congrats to Greg!  Greg plays a pretty solid game and tonight was no different.  Unfortunately, he had to rebuy but survived with the second bullet to find a solar flare late in the game to build a big stack for the final table.  He went heads up with Brian K who had a substantial lead at the final table (he knocked out 8 players!).  If you talk to Brian he says he went card dead, but we will pump up the winner and say he just outplayed him!!  Nice job boys!

  • Well, lookey here!  I'd like to say it was my great skill that got me here, but truth be told these things can be a random roller coaster.  I will say that I was fortunate enough to get into a rare type of hand holding the nuts that set me up chip wise.  Mitch opened the pot for about 3 or 4x (still in the rebuy period so it could have been more).  Bill was in the cutoff and called.  I was in the big blind with KK and put in a pot size bet.  Mitch, of course, shoves and Bill comes along for all of his chips as well.  I call and we see a flop of  2QK.  Mitch had pocket dueces and Bill had pocket Queens.  Bricks on the turn and river for a big pot.  After that I just managed to stay mostly out of the way to the final table going heads up with Aram.

  • Good job Bill! I imagine Bill's usual slow steady play brought him to the final table in this event.  After players where 4 handed they did a chop with 15% up top and the points. Bill played tight and made short work of it heads up against Rod "Hot Rod" Flora, taking the additional cash and the top spot for Event #03.  BTW, Bill, I owe you a hat!
