Title: PPT $500,000 freeroll @ Commerce Post by: Karabiner on February 09, 2005, 12:59:46 PM I see Dave C is in nice shape after the first day's play with about 55k in chips.
Curiously enough sat next to Pete Costa, who has a similar stack. Title: Re: PPT $500,000 freeroll @ Commerce Post by: tikay on February 09, 2005, 02:47:45 PM Yeah Ralph, he texted me last night. He had AA TWICE against Doyle Brunson, ElBlondie lost first time when Doyle caught a straight with J-T, but busted Doyle next time.
By coincidence, I was sat next to Kim Costa in a cash game when the text came through. Kim said "ask him how Pete Costa is getting on, ElBlondie sent me reply text "Pete is OK, he sat next to me". Spooky..... Title: Re: PPT $500,000 freeroll @ Commerce Post by: tikay on February 09, 2005, 10:20:38 PM Just heard from El Blondie at the Commerce....
"Still in, 27 left, average chips". (10.20pm UK time) Title: Re: PPT $500,000 freeroll @ Commerce Post by: luckyblind on February 10, 2005, 12:53:00 AM He's still in there 18 left now.
Title: Re: PPT $500,000 freeroll @ Commerce Post by: tikay on February 10, 2005, 01:05:26 AM Thanks Mike.
He is apparently in ok shape with 150,000 - but I have no idea how that relates to average. He also tells me that a guy from Sheffeild - Asher Derei? - is still there as well, with 140,000. But Pete Costa busted ouit when his QQ ran into AA. More later if I hear.

Final table is Daniel Negreanu 539,000 Erick Lindgren 453,000 Chris Bigler 296,000 Allen Krell 190,000 Dennis Waterman 185,000 Asher Derei 133,000 Title: Re: PPT $500,000 freeroll @ Commerce Post by: Hawkeye1976 on February 17, 2005, 11:25:16 AM Just one question!
Why is the final table played so long after the first 2 rounds? Thanks Steve Title: Re: PPT $500,000 freeroll @ Commerce Post by: elblondie on February 19, 2005, 07:40:18 PM The idea is to try and keep players at the casino for two weeks - it worked with me
