Monday Night Madness

For our first Monday Night tournament, 62 players came out and plunked down $40 and started flinging chips. Several of these players had to fire a second bullet (or third or fourth) resulting in 24 rebuys and 86 total entries. 40 players took the $10 add-on creating a prize pool of over $3,400 to be split by our top 10 finishers.

Seth Gil. (Binghamton, NY) had a good run that came up just short when his pocket 9’s couldn’t make up any ground against Mark Gra. pocket aces and Seth was our bubble finisher. Fellow first time player Josh Spa. (Deposit, NY) turned a short stack into $105 and a 10th place finish. On the same hand, final table regular Dan Ka. (Hillcrest, NY) was eliminated with slightly more chips than Josh, locking up 9th place and $120.

The remaining 8 players drew for new seats and our final table was underway. Bob Sil. (Binghamton, NY) posted his second consecutive cash, walking away with $135 and an 8th place finish. Dave O’N. (Binghamton, NY) put up his first cash at 607poker.com, taking 7th place for $155.

Jeff Smi. (Marathon, NY) was our 6th place finisher. Jeff built an impressive stack early and cruised to the final table to pick up $190. Yao She. (New York City, NY) put up his first cash with us, taking home $225 for a 5th place finish. Joey Kem. (Binghamton, NY) started the final table as the short stack and spun it up to take the chip lead but his pocket aces couldn’t fade a third queen against Lucas Har. (Owego, NY), leaving Joey short. He exited soon after in 4th place and leaving with $310.

Lucas couldn’t hold the chip lead for long, getting it in with top pair against a flopped set, sending him home in 3rd place with $480. Our two remaining players, 607poker.com regular Mark Gra. (Binghamton, NY) and first time player Scott Fer. (Port Crane, NY) agreed on an even chop at this time, taking home $845 each for a night of hard work.

We aren’t off for long, with a $65 buy-in tournament on Saturday October 4th at 4 o’clock. Is this your chance to line your pockets and get your smiling face on our website??? Stop down and make it happen!
