We have 5 for Event 9, which means if everyone is ok with $30, it'll go ahead. (I'm waiting on word from one other person, so we may have 6).
If anyone that's playing is not ok with $30, please let me know as soon as you can, so that I can make the call to cancel that run. People are still welcome to sign-up for the final pre-lim.
Complete aside: I think I made this too big, and I already know what I'm going to do next year, and I'm kinda excited about the format. I'll post details soon so that I don't forget.
I apologize for not showing up to the last bristol event i was signed up for i was on vacation and completely forgot i was signed up for any tournaments. I really do apologize johnnie/buzzard, im not one to be a no-show w/o letting anyone know.
Having said that, reminder that tonight is Event #9! There are still spots open if you'd like to come, and Bristol St. is also open for Heads-up matches.
It was an up and down day for me. I avoided one huge mine; I flopped middle set to Braad's top set, but while we were trapping each other, the turn 4-flushed the board and saved me a ton of money.
Sadly, I wasn't able to avoid a second mine; On an all spade AK7 board, I flopped a J-high flush while Braad flopped the Q-high flush. Jonathan turned a straight while we were trapping each other, and was too pot commited by the time the money went into the pot.
I don't think I played the hand well, and probably should have been able to get away from second nuts given the line.
(Aside: On the turn, I bet 625, Jonathan makes it 1,675, Braad flat calls(!) (which I thought he might do with a naked Qs), I raise to 7,675 (to try to kill the flush draw), Jonathan calls all in, then Braad moves all-in(!!!), and I've got half my chips in the pot. I was sorely tempted to cut my loses but thought Braad might make that play with AQ or KQ with the Qs. As soon as I called, I asked Braad if he had the Q-high flush, he confirmed and I was out.)
Sandy wasn't able to get anything started. Three handed play lasted for a while until Braad exited in 3rd. g2 started with a massive chip lead heads up but a couple of lucky boards have Buzzzardd the win.
"Buzzzardd" Dave earn his first Bristol Street Championship and has now reserved his space in the GRAND FINAL!! Congrats to everyone!
Great night of poker and the chips and blind structure made for lots of great play. I really enjoyed the three handed with Greg and Brad. Lots of friendly banter and lots of bluffing. On the last hand I figured g2 was going all-in on the river with nothing cause I never give him credit for a hand.

Dude...you were a complete no-show for #7...with no responses to my PMs.

wont let it happen again.
No problem.
DON'T BE A DONK LIKE ME!!!
See you all tomorrow.
To the people playing tonight, check back at ~5pm to see if the event has been cancelled; We need at least 2 more to make this go ahead.
Our final table is 6 players and the game is next Wedneday. I'll update the payouts accordingly.
Will BSC be open for side games/HU matches?
In addition to the Finals, Bristol Street will also be open for Heads-up matches.

Blind me in please.
There will be one or two heads-up matches going on, but people are welcome to come for side games. (Not sure if there's interest though)

How are the rest of the points going to be awarded?
As always great tournament Rob.
As long as first place is worth at least 17 more points then second place, we don't care how the rest are split up. Right Greg.
