AlTrade 0 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I played in a charity NL game on monday, $50.00 buyin, 76 people and it paid the top 6 places. I came in Second place, this is my best finish ever in a live tournament with more than twenty people. They were raising money for a dealer at the Seneca Niagara Casino who has cancer and i thought it would be nice to particapate. I thought Kevin the dealer who organized the event did a great job!!! The game went a little slow, lots of breaks for drawings and prizes, but very fun.I didn't bring my A game, just went to have fun and hang with some friends. Me and a couple of the guys at my table decided to go all in on the next hand about 5 hands into the tournament. I had 8h 2h and won the hand with a flush. I ended up at the final table about 4 hours later and split 1st thur 4th place with 3 other players (at 3am) I had to get up for work at 7am and the money just was not that important to me other wise i would have finished the game. I was second in chips when we split.Not sure if this is really a second place finish, but feels like it to me.I think they raised almost $4,000.00 dollars for this lady, I wish her luck and good health. I was very impressed with all the winners who generously gave some of their winnings back. Kudos to all!!!!Also Katie, Dee and Denise did a great job setting everything up and organizing the prizes and donations. (sorry if i left anyone out) Link to post Share on other sites

AlTrade 0 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 It's always nice to make a FT.So was there any cash prizes?Yes about twenty-five percent of the money went to the prize pool. I made $250.00., but I gave some of it back (all the money finishers did) Link to post Share on other sites
The Bwaves 0 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 congrats and nice job helping someone elseI was just asking because usually they'll compensate the players with some kind of prize like a car or gift cards or a nights stay at a hotel something sweet.
