Now that we have squeezed in 5 games in 8 days, the tournament will be taking a small break for the next two weeks. The next tournament date is scheduled for the afternoon of Sunday, May 8. Seats for all of the remaining tournament dates are filling up quickly, so if you want to play, send me an email soon.
Many thanks to everyone so far who has played in the tournament, and thanks especially to those of you who have spread the word to communities and interested parties outside of this blog. The tournament is turning into quite an event!
My 2 cents: Everyone chip in $5 and hire a professional to deal. The levels are short, and most players are terrible dealers. This combination results in very few hands getting played.
