Congratulations to Kelly Bickford for winning June’s tournament. Martin was second and Victor was third. The top three finishers had already qualified, so we have three “wild card” positions available, if we go to 10 per table by January.
June was our best attended since the pandemic. We had 43 players planned, where 40 players actually played, with two re-entries.
Bob Bado won $245 on the 50/50 and donated $45 back. Thank you Bob. Victor McGregor won the high hand for the second straight tournament. He had quad sevens. It was decided that the first person with four of a kind, will receive a $25 gift card. There were higher hands afterwards, but it makes it easier for me, so it will continue doing it this way. Most of the players expressed that this is how they want it.
It was decided to create a progressive royal flush high hand. One dollar per player will go into the pot. Remember, both hole cards have to play. $81.00 will carry over to August’s event.
Welcome TC Thompson, Amelia Araiza, Kurt Tautenhan and Richard Acosta to Pokerdawgs. We had another 7 players returning from previous years, including Matt Graham who last played our first year of Pokerdawgs, in 2010.
Right now we have five tables available, totaling 45 players. I might be able to get a sixth table with two weeks notice. So please, if you are planning to attend, give me plenty of notice. Everyone knows last minute changes occur, and I will be happy to either refund your registration fee or applying to your next event. I just need an hour notice of cancellation.
Our next event is August 7th. Hope to see you there.
2021 Events: August 7th, October 2nd, December 04th. The tournaments will begin at 5:00pm. The Tournament of Champions event will be Saturday, January 08, 2022.
If you have additional questions, feel free to contact Larry Timmer at 813-245-1582.
