Degree Poker report
Just a quick report. I qualified for day2 and gotta make the 1.5hour drive back to niagra in about 3 hours.
I will include a larger report later, but overall a good tourney.
I was the smallest stack with 21 players left and 20 making it onto day2. Myself and the 2nd smallest stack at another table were both forced all in on the same hand in our BBs. I ended up with a suited 9/3 of diamonds against a suited 9/10 of hearts from the SB. I flopped 2 pair, and the small stack on the other table busted allowing me to return tomorrow. The chip stacks get reset for all players for round 2, so I am back to a level playing field also.
When I left stpboy was still in the final round, and had a fairly nice stack and playing well. Hope to see him tomorrow.

Hopefully by now, Ionstorm (Ian), has advanced beyond Round two and will be playing in the Playoff round!!
ROB! Don't leave me hanging like this.
How was he stacked when you left etc?
He's got a few TV shots and stuff.
He's not sure when he'll be playing (tomorrow or thursday) but we'll keep you posted etc.
P.S.
I suck for being eliminated
Today was much better I built muy stack up to about 55k, and busted a couple along the way. This was more then enough to cruise into the top 20.
I cant say enough about the Fallsview Casino/TSN/Degree. They are providing s with 3 nights of fre hotel, and we got a free players meal in the high en restaurant in the casino.
My round goes @ 2:30pm tomorrow. Its a 9 player shootout format, with the winners of the 5 tables comming back on friday.

Best of luck Ian. Sounds like you are living large. (As large as you can get in NF)
Hope your day went great today and good luck tomorrow.
Started out great though, on the 2nd hand I flopped a flush wth my 8/9 in the BB. I check aised the original bettor and he called. The turn brought a 4th diamond to the board. I bet and he went all in and I doubld early.
During the mid portion I lost a couple big pots and staye about the same in chips.
Then I tied 1 key and, and lost a 2nd to bust.
1st hand... I saw a flop in the BB with A/9. The flop came down 8 J Q. The SB bet and I movd al in trying to pickup the pot. He thought for a long time before finally calling with A/8. The turn card brought my straight, and the river brought a 9 and we tied the pot. I would have had a huge stack and almost busted a player after ths hand.
The last hand I played I was in the BB with A/6 and the smal blind raised. The blinds wer so big that I really needed to double so I pushed all in. Again ths plaer thought and though before calling me wit A/9. I hit a 6 on the flop that I hink was 6 8 J, and the turn and river came down 10 Q to make him the staight and take me out.
Not the result I was hoping for, but overall a great tourney.

Should have known after he beat the ace high flush with a straight flush that I was in for some trouble.
It was fun while it lasted though!
