So I had a great day on the felt on saturday. Not only did I grind my way to a win at Red Hot Poker Tour (7th of the season). I also won a fundraising tournament for the Wilmot Wild Lacrosse team.
The tournament was small (for what I'm used to) but it was a good turn out, and a very hard field. The format was No-Limit Hold'em, $40 buy-in with unlimited $20 re-buys for the first hour. The final 4 guys left were John, Bruno (the teams GM), myself, and the New Hamburg legend Smelly Doug. Wow did he ever live up to his name. I was lucky to have a cold and not have to smell him. The final 4 of us went 90mins and after a few close calls, bad beats and a couple hero calls Bruno went out in 4th. After reclaiming a bunch of chips that I had lost to Smelly Doug i was able to eliminate him from the tournament for good (i had also caused him to re-buy twice in the first hour), and then we were down to just me and John. After about 35 back and forth hands, I had a slight chip lead, and then finally we both shipped all the chips in the middle and I was able to come up with the win.
I look forward to the next one in May. The tournament is held at Bellzy's Sports Grill every 4th Saturday of the month in New Hamburg, ON. If you can make it out it is a lot of fun. Plus i have a title to defend.
