Congratulations to the "Pimps & Hoes" for winning the first Poker Olympics. GTA North was third last after the first four events, but dominated the final group event, with Easy, Dan and Miranda all making the final six of the
NLHE MTT. Each of the six members wins a seat to the Pirana Poker Tour Grand Championship, where I THINK first prize is a WPT Boot Camp overseas.
The silver medallists were the Milton Rocks, who each win a seat to the Pirana "Full House Frenzy" championship next month, where I think first prize is a poker cruise. Olympics MVP Dr. Larry won a customized hockey jersey.
The bronze medallists were the Dirty Whores. Other players who were awarded a medal were:
- compuease, who won the
Omaha event over DrTyore
- Shaun P, from "Q-5 Offsuit" team, who won the
Heads-Up event. This team (Pirana players mostly from north of Toronto) had a dominating lead after the first four events, but got overtaken in the final event.
- Bill S of "Table Dogs", who won the
NLHE SNG over Itsame.
- Brent M of "Q-5 Offsuit", who won the
7-Card Stud event over stpboy.
Thanks to Craig and his Pirana staff for putting on a great poker event. Results were quickly updated, including displaying a graph of the standings. Within a minute after the end of final table, all the final scores were announced. The medals were awarded and the closing ceremony was fun.
Looking forward to the next special poker event....
