Turn blanked, river 10. Opp flopped quad Q's. He won $40K I believe. guy with the Q's got $20K and everyone at the table got $2K. I'm not sure if that is how they always break it down or if it was just the guy that won being nice to the others at the table (aside from the guy with the Q's as I don't think he'd be giving him that much). If I remember correctly, the bad beat kicks in if you lose with AAA1010 or better.
Sounds close to what we do here, Hand Loser gets 50%, Winner gets 25%, rest of table dealt in the hand shares 25%.
The upshot is Nov 15-22
Nov 15th is a $100 rebuy/addon tourney
Nov 16th is $1100 NLH (2 day)
Nov 18th is another $100 rebuy/addon tourney
Nov 19th is the NLH Main Event $2700 4 day tourney
Not sure if Pokerstars is in on it this year.
Also note that they scaled the River Rock poker room down to 18 tables from 25 for some reason (economy??)
Just noticed from reading that they didn't actually eliminate the $550. It's now on Nov 12-14 in the poker room not the theatre. It runs Day1A 12th, Day 1B 13th, Day 2 14th.
Hmm...still haven't noticed any online sat's yet. Though, I know there is some discussion of the Big Slick Poker Tour doing some BCPC sat's on 888...maybe we will see more there?

Let me know if you here of any sat's....would like to find some.
We (BSPT) have 4 players in, and Brad of course..if any of them run deep, I will likely shoot down Friday night or early Sat morning..but, won't be down there for the week prior..no sats to get in, and no damn time to go to Van. for any sats.
Totaly should have planned better! I can't go to Van this week as been hanging in Regina and have to get back to the day job. With both the Big Slick Poker Tour group and CPT being there it would have been a great time.
But...Talked to alot of players here, tons from the east killed Regina and are on their way there. Dave Cung, Bo Fric, Ron, Kelly, TJ, Shane, Karhim and so many other of the top CPT players are planning to battle it out to claim the points race. Should be fun. I expect the PLO game will get pretty sick too.
OK, I'm an idiot, the 1K only had 1 day one........oops.
Another Edmonton player took down the 1K, for 135K I believe.
Won a sat on Wednesday and played in the ME Thursday.
15K in chips, 1 hour levels, played 7 levels. Didn't get in any monster pots, or any big hands, but ended the day at 35K (avg 25K). 676 entrants, 388 made day 2.
Day 2 was a disaster.....didn't get any big hands again, was 3 bet alot when I opened, so I got whittled down to about 25K. Raised a pot when the blinds were 300 - 600, got 3 bet all in by the BB, sitting with AQ, decided to call 7G more......he shows 77, I lose the race. down to about 15K, and in push mode.
One limp under the gun, I jam with, what else, 77........UTG calls with QK?........lose the race and I'm out, half way through DAY 2. about 230 left when I busted.
This was my biggest live tourney played, great experience, and will definately be back next year....hopefully with a little run good in me. Only had one big hand in 10 hours of play (QQ), so the cards couldn't be much worse.
1st for the ME will pay $365 K.......not too shabby.
Only played with 1 pro, Liz Lue (damn sexy)......others I saw were Shawn Buchanan, Brad Booth, Gavin Smith.
Didn't go back today, so I can't tell you if any big names are still in.
Wonder if the final table was "coerced" to fold lots? lol
I am curious how the casino could "hold" his winnings though? Shouldn't it have been paid immediately? and even if it isn't..what is the legality regarding the police to be able to request a hold?

My guess, and this is totally not based on anything other than what I figure would make sense so please don't quote it as gospel, would be that it's because they're freezing his assets to prevent him from being able to run. Fairly SOP kind of deal I think.

I hear the first event ($550) is sold out already. Hopefully it won't be too tough to get in on the reserve, or buy someone else's ticket.

Have fun all! Be sure to update us!
Guy from my local (Yellowhead in Edmonton) took it down.......51K
I'll probably play in the Tuesday (day 1B) $1K........will update later
