Good luck to you all! I really think someone, something, some force is trying to keep me away from my work party. I just got offered leaf golds for tonight against the Rangers. UGH!!!

Tough first table!

I think Tye may win this although I wouldn't be surprised to see Tom, Watts, Mark, Rob, Rob, Jeremy, JohnnieH or Greg take this down. It's a very competitive field!

GL!

Twenty minutes in we have our first elimination as "PokerQueen" Mandy, flops a set of 3's, vs. "peteski" Pete's flopped set of 9's.

Hey Rob Z if you could get Brent to give me a call that would be great.

Good Playing to all that is left.

He's got to cover his luck somehow doesn't he?

JohnnieH

I'm out.

Blinds 100-200(25). Sirwatts raises UGT (600), I raise over Mike for 4K with 10-10, and Brents pushes with Kings. Of course, Mike folds, and I get no help.

And don't flame me, I know I misplayed the hand.

nordique Kevin just became the fourth place finisher for $90. He was short-stacked and called /g2 Greg's raise from UTG with 10-7. Greg's A4o held up and the Legend of Bristol Street is out.

-Wes

Zithal

"Flint Bones" is out in 3rd place when his AQ ran into Greg's AK. We are now...

HEADS UP!!!

"g2" Greg ($92,800)
"SirWatts" Mike ($87,100)

It's a very close match going into heads up. Blinds are 1,200-2,400(400), so it's anyone's game.

compuease

Go Rob Go! We can't have the best tournament director on Ontario, hell, all of Canada with no one cheering for him. Rob and Greg heads up? Flip a coin.....


edit... oops, missed Robs post, where did you go out?

moose

Wild card entry HAS to win, right? Bristol is rigged isn't it?

Zithal

We're taking a quick break to colour out the 100 chips, heading to the 1,500-3,000(500) level.

Mike has 101,000 to Greg's 79,000.

westside8

And it is over.

I'll let Rob post the details later...

The Prophet 22

Thanks to everyone who didn't make it out. it allowed me to sneak into the tournament.

i thought our frst table was a little bit tougher than the othe table. I sat between Mark and Wes. Things were going along great. After the first break lost a lot of chips and it turned out that other than /g2, the top chip ;eaders nad come to the middle of the pack.

It seemed like I couldn't win a race al night. and Sir Watts owed me everytime we played a hand, well done.

Thanks for having me Rob.

See next year!

Zithal

First hand after colour up..

Blinds at 1,500-3,000(500)

Greg raises to 9,000
Mike re-raises to 20,000
Greg pushes all-in and is called!

Mike shows AJ, Greg shows AQ and the first two cards off the flop are AJ! No Q comes and the game is over.

"SirWatts" Mike becomes the 2006 Bristol Street GRAND CHAMPION!!!

Congrats to an awesome heads up match between these two players. Lots of aggression and lots of mind games made for an OUTSTANDING heads-up match.

(Amusing aside; we we're running two decks/two dealers and for shiggigles ran a second board using the other deck. The flop.... AJx...)

It's been an amazing season and I'd like to thank everyone for another great year. I'll have a season ending post coming soon, as well as details on this year's Merry Xmas madness coming very soon.

Congrats Sir Watts!!!!!!
