Big Syd's Poker Night....Online!!!!

Yes, I did somthing different this week. Most of you know I host a live poker tournament every Tuesday. Its called Big Syd's Poker Night. It rotates to a different location each week between Greenbelt, Severn, and Mitchellville Maryland. This week it was suppose to be in Severn. However, the Severn host was unable to do it this week. So, I decided to try something new.

For the first time, I took Big Syd's Poker Night online. Yes, We held a priavate tournament on Full Tilt Poker. I invited everyone from my weekly game list as well as players from md-poker.com, pocketfives.com, ftpfan.com, and RGP (rec.gambling.poker newsgroup).

Attendance was good with 26 players entered. Another 3 players would have been in had they gotten their player transfers in time to registers. The final table consisted of 5 players from RGP, 2 players from MD-Poker.com, 1 player from PocketFives.com, and 1 Player from FTPfan.com

The tournament payed 3 places with 1st Place getting $260, 2nd Place getting $156, and 3rd Place getting $104. The buy-in was $20 + $2. The winners were as follows:

1st - VeeRob (RGP)
2nd - NotAComputr (RGP)
3rd - RobBobGolf (MD-Poker)

Also, I added 2 Bounties to the Prize Pool. A $10 bounty on misst74 (RGP) and a $10 bounty on myself, KappaMan. Congrats to blackeye27 for win the misst74 bounty and il Lupo5 for winning the bounty on me.

Also, 5 of us participated in a last long bet which was won by sik_wit_iit (PocketFives) who finished in 6th Place.

I must say, there was some very good poker played last night. I'm pleased with the turnout. I will definitely hold another one of these sometime in the near future. Thanks again to all that played.
