NAPC Day 1a - Oct. 26th Updates
Thought it would be good to have a daily thread to track the progress of forum members playing in the North American Poker Championship starting tomorrow at noon. According to Fallsview's site, spectator admission is free for all days including the final table television taping. Who is starting their quest tomorrow? I will add a link tomorrow once the action gets started. Good luck to everyone playing Day 1 over the weekend.

hopefully you play a little more aggressive than the Ryder Cup
Seriously, here are the players that I know are playing:
- Sirwatts, me (Friday)
- Dead Money (Saturday)
- Doyle Who? & Bobby
- 3 other players from my WPT league
- several money finishers from the Casino Brantford tournament
- Voodoo, Choron or xx23?
Good luck to all the forumers.
It will be fun tracking your progress today. Looks like you could play the Seneca tournament on Sunday if you are bored and want to keep the momentum going for Monday Day 2. Sirwatts is probably staying in Niagara so he might be interested. Let us know what other players you come across.

I will be really surprised if I don't finish tomorrow @ like 300k...lol
did you know about the internet kids in advance? might actually be a good opportunity. No news on Buddy yet. What site are you getting these chip counts from?

Isaac Baron and two other players see a flop of Q83 for 600 a piece. On the second round of betting Baron opens the action for 1,200 under the gun. Seat 2 folds in middle position and the button makes the call. The 7 hits on the turn and Baron checks. The button raises to 1,800 and Baron reraises all in for 6,475 total. The button thinks for a couple minutes and then makes the call. Baron flips up pocket aces and the button turns over pocket fours. The 5 falls on the river and Baron doubles up on the hand to 17,400.
Why am I not playing this tournament with plays like this?? you think your 4s are good?? save your 4,600 in chips and move on.
Good Luck to all our cpf peeps.
Sunday is dead money day. Everyone is either playing today or saturday. All the satellite winners are playing on sunday. No online kids are playing on sunday.

He is up to 75K with 1 level to go in the day...
Ended the day with 76.1K in chips...
Player to my right, who seems to be an online star and was being photographed earlier and asked for his chip count, raises three times the big blind. I wake up with
:kh :kd
I reraise three times his bet. He reraises all in with
:ac :ks
I make the correct call. Flop is harmless. One player mentioned that he folded an ace so the online pro is dead to two aces. I have more than 90% chance of doubling up. Just like at the Ultimate Poker Challenge final four when I was an over 80% favourite of winning with my pocket kings and getting 4/5 of the chips in play, you know what happens next....
Do you really think that you have an over 90% of doubling up KK vs AK with one dead ace? If you are talking about your status on the turn this is a strange way to look at a hand, it's like a buddy of win who flips vs AK and says he gets rivered when an A spikes on the river.
Anyhow, welcome to tourney poker...sure his all in with AK is horrid at this stage, but he likely has a deep enough bankroll to gamble at this point if he is a very sucessful pro.
