Yes gl to all. Looks a very inviting field. A tough but inviting field.

Well that was a tough tourney!! Had Praz on my starting table, and taking him off a pot with triple barrell bluff early on was the highlight of my day. After that, it was all downhill.  Raised into the short-stacked Dave Scothern with 89s, and found myself having to spew call his shove and losing.  Ended up donking the rest to Paul Jackson when I shoved over his raise, and he couldn"t find a fold with AA.

A heck of a lot of well known faces around, and a decent structure in a very well run card room - it was all good.

One point of note that I really did appreciate - I raised out of turn early on (guy on my right had his hands over his cards and I thought he had folded - I got a warning with a one round penalty to follow next time).... shortly after, a guy folded out of turn (was an irrelevant fold in the scheme of things), and got an immediate two hand penalty. Anyone who left the table and effectively folded out of turn, received a two hand penalty when they returned..    was good to see rules applied strictly and properly.

Yeah I told him to shove any of your raises! ;)

It was curious to see that players were allowed to use mobile phones at the feature table - especially as the outside world could see the hole cards of current and previous hands. I"m not suggesting any impropriety but it just struck me as odd.

They were not allowed - however, this seemed to a rule that was not enforced.

The guy between me and Dave was a OneWayPoker player, and he was having a text conversation with Roberto Romanello about hands that were played 15 minutes ago (there was a 15 min delay on transmission).
