Tournament Aug 4 Port Perry
Does any one have a seat for the NL tournament at Port Perry on Wed Aug 4?
I will be there and was just wondering if anyone else was going. I know this event has been sold out for a while but the live action should be good if anyone that doesnt have a seat wants to go.
I will post a trip report on Thurs or Fri.

Yes I have a seat in this tourney, I've been waiting for this day for a long time now.
It should be really exciting.
I know several players from the mini tourneys who are participating and then we have the 10-20, 5-10 regulars...I can't wait to be part of the action.
I think am going to spend around $400 with the re-buys and add-ons.
Hertz come say hello during the break.... I should be easy to spot as I will be wearing a Panama Hat.
Good Luck
I should also be easy to spot, Im 350 pounds, I have a shaved head(although I might wear a hat that day), and Ill probably wear my "lucky" red
T-shirt.
See you at the final table.
good luck to both of you, because i type this you're either very deep in the tournament or at home drowning in your sorrows
LOL Brent! you should've been there it was pretty exciting, but I did manage to do better than 88th lol maybe 79th! hahahahaha
Here's a summary of what happened:
I am seated in Table 5 seat #3
I decided from the get go that I was going to play tight and conservative. Two guys go all-in in the 1st hand after the flop! Seat #8 with K10 and Seat #10 with J9.
Seat #10 gets a straight on the river and doubles up nicely! He then decided to push everyone during the next 5 hands!
Seat #2 was not present and was substituted with a waiting list player after 15 mintues of play. He started with a blinded bank roll and lost with a straight in his second hand of play to seat #10 who had the nut flush.
Seat # 9 had at least 5 rebuys before the break
Seat # 8 had his share as well around 4
Seat # 2 had the most rebuys with "$600" spent b4 the break. I believe this included his $120 entry fee. I believe he had only 6 rebuys even though he said $600 was spent.
Amasingly, Seat #2 managed to gather the chip lead with big pots before the break. Seat#8 was not far behind
I bought 2 rebuys before the break. The first one was being trimmed by the blinds as well as by some of the few flops that I saw.
I saw flops holding
AQ, 55, A9, AJ, and maybe one or two with Kx.
The flop never improved my hand and I saw myself being pushed around after the flop or at the turn.
*************************Break*****************************
Dick Hertz came by and said hello...he kinda of caught me of guard eating oysters during the break!
(Dick you're a cool guy buddy I hope you did well)
End of break:
I felt that this was the begining of the real tourney, and I was pretty sure that things would change - well they did lol!
One of the first guys to be busted out was Kim! He's one of the big sharks at the 20/40 tables! I was somewhat surprised and overwhelmed....

ok
This is the only hand that I truly played:
Fifth hand after the break I get [7:club: 7:diamond:] in early position.
I decided to raise by 200 with 2 other callers
seat #9 and seat #10
I probably had 2500T after the raise, Seat #9 had around 2600T, and Seat #10 had about 9000T
Blinds were 100/200 I believe.
Flop comes:
[8:diamond: 2:spade: J:club:] rainbow
I bet 200T
Seat #9 calls, seat #10 calls
Turn gives me a
[7
I decided to slowplay with a bet of 200T
Seat#9 folds and seat #10 raises me to 500T
with [8:diamond: 2:spade: J:club: 7
I felt he probably had Jx
My trip 7's looked sooooooooooooooooooo good and my insticts felt I had this pot!
I re-raised 1500T
He raises me all-in and I gladly call to face a 10 9 don't recall if it was offsuit for a 7-J straight! my hand does not improve and everything else is all in slow montion after that!
seeing those trip 7's clouded my mind b/c I didn't see the straight coming!
oh well I felt I played a solid game until I got overly excited with the trips!
good part about it is that I made my money back playing the roulette afterwards!
lol
redemption at the tourney of Champions!
Hey How's it going DM?
That was an excellent finish. I haven't signed up for the October tourney yet, but I will next week! I hope they still have seats available.
I'll probably see you at the Heron next wednesday....
Take care
