I think Trevor's son is mature enough watch over a kid or two. He practically ran the last Cook Crew tournament.

Thank you for an awesome night. Very enjoyable as this is the first event that I've attended hosted by others on the forum. Looking forward to future games.
Thanks Again to the Cook Crew for hosing a great night of CRAZY poker. With the $5 unlimited rebuys things where hairy to say the least. But if was fun, except when I Totally misplayed my last hand. Oops.
I finished in 6th place winning $22 but my net for the night was (-3), sinice I rebought 3 times.
The chaos started very early. We had a full table worth of players drop out a few days before the tourney, and with 10 minutes until the doors opened, we sat at 23 players. Because of this Jenn and I only set up 3 tables. However, in the next 5 min we had another 4 players so we had to set up a fourth table (and redraw for seating). We ended up starting about 20 minutes late with 28 players.
The rebuy period was a mixed boat. There seemed to be a couple normal/tight tables, and a couple loose/"what the hell were you thinking" tables. In a cruel twist of fate, a straight flush was beaten by a Royal Flush, setting the tone for a night of big beats (some good, lots bad). By the end of the rebuy period, a couple players had already gone out, and the pot was at $560 from the 56 rebuys. With 84,000 chips in play, I realized this would be a long night. In hindsight, I probably should have shortened the round length a couple minutes when we added the extra table (sorry ).
The final table was formed when Mike ("SirWatts") busted out right around the 4 hr mark (not including breaks ). The final table was:
1. Johnnie (5200)
2. Tyson (21,800)
3. Jamie (9,300)
4. Larry (3,400)
5. Greg (9,600)
6. Brian (7,100)
7. Tom (20,500)
8. Rohit (7,100)
Jamie went out quickly, followed almost immediately by Brian on the bubble. Brian received a very nice chipset courtesy of "TwoThree" Brad (The Play - 701-2960). Now we're in the money, and play tightened up A LOT! It was almost 20 min later when Johnnie busted out in 6th for $22, and another 20 min for Greg who earned $44 in 5th. 10 minutes later, with the blinds at 1000-2000, Tom busted out 10 in 4th making $67. Late in the next level, Larry finished his strong comeback from short-stack in third, netting him $89. Tyson and Rohit started heads up with Tyson having a slight edge in chips. Heads-up lasted exactly 20 minutes, and nearing the end of the 2000-4000 level, Rohit won a big pot beating Tysons straight with a flush, and finally finishing him off. Congratulations to Rohit on his big win of $190. In second, Tyson took home $145 (thus covering all his rebuys ). 1:45am and my second tournament is complete.
Another fun time, and thanks to everyone for coming out. There were a lot of new faces I've seen on the forum and never played with, so the K-W crowd is obviously still growing (and starting to move around a bit more). I'm looking forward to our next event, early in October.
Anyone adding up the payouts will notice a discrepancy. The computer rounded stuff out wrong, and I found $3 underneath the cashbox this morning. Rohit, Tyson, and Larry - I owe each of you $1, which I'll get to you next time I see you. I apologize for this oversight.
Our next tournament is planned for Friday, October 7. It is going to be a special format, which I will announce when I post for registrations closer to the end of the month. Just as an appetizer, we will not be using our fifth table this time, as the format requires exactly 4 tables, but the winner should receive a very healthy pay-day. The marketing statement (meaning enticing, misleading, and totally unenforceable later ) is : $20 buy-in (times the expected 32 players = $640) with second-place taking home NOTHING! Mark your calendars...

Sign me up! and i'll bring another Bubble Boy Prize!!!!
28. "TwoThree" Brad - level 4 (81 min.) WOO HOO I did not know I lasted that long :P
Thanx, it was a great tourney even if you didn't spend all my CHIPS wisely. Now if you could do something about the GD traffic since they closed 2 out of 3 lanes from hwy 6 to mavis pretty much on the 401. 2 1/2 hours going home. Hopefully I won't have to work for the next one so I can actually stay and play. LOL
Hey Trevor
Man, that was a crazy evening of fun filled, insane, gut splitting re-buy hold'em poker. Those $5.00 re-buys turned everyone at our starting table into Gus Hanson wana-be's. It was a blast! I definately want to join you folks for the next one. Next time I'll bring along more homemade wine, one bottle just is'nt enough to calm my nerves!
Tell Tyson the reason I did'nt call him when he had the pocket aces at the final table ( he tried to goat me in by calling me a wussy ) was cause I picked up ONE of his tells, which I will gladly share with anyone who is interested.
Please give that dollar to your young assistant, a tip for the young man who found the wine screwer for me earlier in the evening. Take care all. See yah in downtown Kitchener this saturday. I hope Tyson and Hollywood Cole are at the same starting table, the bluff kings going head to head!
Shuffle up and deal. It's show time.

Great Setup, great tourney... WOW between you and Zithal us other smaller hosters have ALOT to live up to.
I think the $5 rebuy was great, it called for a completely different strategy.
Great Job Again - Whens the next one?
