Blogger Pauly giving away a $5k seat

[2Tone]

Check out


Pauly, one of the best poker bloggers out there, is hosting a $5 PS tournament on 8/5 in which the winner gets two nights at the Borgata Hotel & Spa in Atlantic City and entry into a $5,000 buy-in NL tournament during the Borgata Poker Open on September 12th.

And that's IN ADDITION to the regular prize money. The $5k seat is an overlay. Pretty sweet.

Sick overlay with the $5k+ added. Let's get a TPer to win this thing, shall we?????

[Invigilator]

I am in.

[Talking Poker]

So some idiot actually managed to bust faster than me, and I finished 518/519 when I was dealt the Kiss of Death on Hand #2.

LOL.

I actually put him on exactly QJ, but given the structure of this (needing to win for it to be worthwhile) and the prestige of being the first one eliminated - WITH KK - how could I not call?

Oh, and FWIW... I was dealt 72o on the first hand and considered open shoving it. Now I wish I had.

Finished fifth, should see my bad beat demise on his blog

[omahilo]

what did 5th pay?

[drewjax]

I looked at the blog, but all I saw was that he 'got outflopped'. I didnt see any details of the suckout.

5th paid $142+

[nutbag]

Well it was A8 A4 all in preflop, and a 4 came. So I guess I got outflopped. Too bad the $5000 was a seat and couldn't be chopped, otherwise might have been a bit better than $142

Dr.Pauly runs a private Omaha tourney every Saturday. It's a $10 tourney and he is giving first $215 for ps sunday million or whatever you want in addition to 1st place prize money. It's a 4:20 est I'm prolly be playing just thought I'd spread the news.


FWIW:

Also, the new pokertek electronic tables are going to be taking over at the excalibur(sp?). I will probably will invest a bit of money in PTEK seeing that the news hasn't reached wall street yet.
