this will be a busy two weeks in edmonton. river cree is also running a heads up series of tournaments the week before. i have the schedule lying around somewhere around my house. ill post it later if i can find it.
It'll depend on start times for me....hopefully the 300 & 500 for sure, and the 1100 if I satty in.

Friday April 30: $500 + $50 NLHE 12K chips, 4 pm (final 2 tables restart Sunday @ 1pm)
Saturday May 1: $1000 + $100 NLHE 12K chips, 2 pm start
$330 NLHE on Sunday
Now playing all events.....I'll update later
I don't understand how this is possible. The buy in is $300 + $30 rake + $10 optional chips for the dealers. If you take $300*217 = $65.1k. Does the 2.1k go to the championship ring or some other prize?
1st paid $17G......I made a good run but fell a little short....6th for $3300.....AQ<AK<KK, unfortunately I was in the middle and had shipped it in to a lagtard bigstack.
Should have taken today off work......going to be a long day today, as I didn't get home until 5am.
Event # 2 = 240 players......I think it was 35K for 1st....I was out early (no hands + bad play = shiity result), but I get to sleep now.
Yeah, sorry, figured out who you were, but didn't get a chance to say hi.....next time for sure. Did you play any events?
Also met John Lam from Ontario, guess he used to post here lots. WPT Niagra final table in 2006, new member of the CPT, nice guy. He took 3rd in the main.
Just did a show on pokerpodradio (Show 135), should be up later tonight at I-tunes and the site and talked for quite a bit about the event.
My Calgary high stakes article is out in Poker Pro Canada, was happy to get feedback from the players in Edmonton. Heard Malcom was gonna spread a 25k min buy, was telling him the boys in Calgary had action going, sick 25-50-100 PLO that turned into a 40hr session looked like the only one that was missing out being in Edmonton was him.
Wicked series, Joanne is throwing another in a few months I hear, be sure to tell everyone it is worth it by far. Very cool of Casino Yellowhead to put the bounties up on Mary and Lacey. $1100 bounty in a $550....sic!
Was nice to meet you. I didnt realize you had to leave so quickly or I woulda stopped to talk earlier. I was a little engrossed with the tournament. Joanne does good work every year, spread the word.
Took about 7 hours but I ended up winning.
Id take most of what Malcolm has to say with a grain of salt. Hes more bluster then anything. We did get a 25/50 PLO going on Thursday.
