Bad Beats Open

Finally getting a chance to post the results from the Bad Beats open. All-in-all, 12 players total showed up. The players included a mix of league players, their brothers, neighbors, wives and girlfriends. As I'm sure is the case with most events they engage in together, Hirp couldn't outlast his girlfriend, Coco.

Top three for the night:

1. IT Terry - $140
2. Porqhop - $70
3. Coco - $30

I'm not done lobbying for bonus points to be awarded for this event!

OST 7: Can't Be Broken

Bronco's busted out of his pen, and it's not looking like anyone will be putting him up soon. Winning two OSTs in a row puts him in solid position for the Final Table.

Places/payouts for OST 7 below:

1) Bronco - $220
2) Giggity - $110
3) WhoDogg - $50
4) Plains Moses $20

It's time to form a posse, bring back the bounty, and put this bad bitch down. Hope to see you all next month.

"Beam Me Out" Scotty

Scotty Nguyen busted out of the Word Series of Poker this morning. He finished in 11th place.

Friday night roadie

Hit Ameristar (and left after surveying the games) and then Harrah's on Friday. While I wanted to get into the 1/2 NL I ended up on a 3/6 due to the wait time for the 1/2 at Harrah's.

Ameristar looked brutal...two tables of 1/2 and the games did not look good (a few old fat guys, a few 30 somethings with ipods, etc....not one kid). Harrah's was much better, but I didn't want to wait an eternity so I started at a 3/6 table that was too good to leave. I ended up a few bucks ahead but it would have been much more if an unsuited 2/9 hadn't hit diamond/diamond to run down my pocket kings on the river (and yes, that was calling raises the entire way). Of course, that kind of play was why I was up in the first place, so I can't complain. Another oddity, I have never seen so many calls or checks when different players had the nuts (I saw it three times in the night by two three different players).
