Friday Night Winners!!!

Our first Friday Night tournament was a $65 buy-in event that drew 58 players. Action was non-stop resulting in 22 rebuys and a total of 80 entries. With 10 places scheduled to be paid, the last 11 players agreed to take $100 off of first place and pay the would be bubble boy.

As luck would have it, we had simultaneous eliminations of Horacio (Dominican Republic) and John Mat. (Scranton, PA) on the same hand. They split the bubble payout and 10th place money, taking home $125 each. This left us with a final table and our first casualty was Kevin Du. (Windsor, NY) who took 9th place and $175. Final table mainstay Matt Kel. (Vestal, NY) was the next finisher, taking 8th place and $200. Jonny Ma. (Binghamton, NY) was not far behind, taking 7th place and $225.

The final 6 players agreed to chop the remaining prize pool evenly. This resulted in a payout of $685 each for Adam Po. (Binghamton, NY), Cody De. (Windsor, NY), Dan Ka. (Hillcrest, NY), Dave Ir. (Binghamton, NY), Phil Dr. (Binghamton, NY) and Steve Ril. (Binghamton, NY). A return of 10X their buy-in for less than 7 hours of poker seems like a great deal!
