Poker Tournament to Benefit Colon Cancer Patients

Sunday, March 1, 2009

The tournament was a huge success!

Just thought I would throw up a quick post with some pictures. I'll get more up or linked on here later in the week. The final numbers are not in yet, but the rumor last night was that we raised over $5,000 after expenses to help the charity.

The prizes were all laid out. We had right at $4,000 in donated prizes. THANK YOU to everyone who donated. We gave something to everyone that busted out (keychains for the first ones out). We started the real prizes at 35th place.

79 players bought in. We had 1 full table more than last year. THANK YOU EVERYONE who played. It went smoother than I expected, in large part because of the Tournament Director software. I let it reassign player seating and it was perfect. It was so smooth, I almost felt like I could be playing while running it. Almost...

The final tabe was played on my table I brought from home. It allowed us to get 8 players and a dealer seated. Thanks to Anna Willis for dealing the final table (she is in the green shirt).

8th place was $100 fulltilt cash and a Pokerroad shirt. It went to Mike Loynd

7th place was an Apple Itouch. Joe Allen wins it.

6th place was another Golf package and it went to Melissa Roshek.

5th place was a Cordless Milwaukee Drill and Hackzall and it went to Daryl Bradshaw.

4th place was a prize package for him and her which included everything on the poker table (and the fold out table top). It went to Andrew Brown.

3rd place and the Golf Prize package goes to Thomas Cronin.

Ryan Roshek takes 2nd place and a 32" TV

1st place goes to Jeff Wade. He missed the first hour because of getting out of work late. It obviously didn't hurt him. Congratulations Jeff. 1st was an $800 Visa Check Card.

COMING SOON......

We are working on another charity tournament to benefit Colon Cancer Patients. The date is still to be determined but will be around the last week of February 2009.

We need donations as prizes. These can be money, online poker funds, hats, shirts, electronics, books, or anything else that we could give away as a prize. These tournaments are only a success because of the donations we get as prizes. The better the donations, the better the prizes, the more people we can entice into playing.

Thank you in advance for considering a donation.
