It took a little bit of work, but we managed to get the game off tonight and play tonight super satellite table. I literally had made the decision and written the cancellation email this afternoon when I decided to check my inbox one last time. Luckily, there was an email from David Denenburg asking for not one, but two seats, and the game was on. 5 minutes later and there would have been no game tonight.

Unfortunately for David, his good luck didn't rub off on the poker game as he didn't make it through to the final round. John Robertson did though, and now he will be joining the rest of the players at the final table playing for a shot at Vegas. John played very aggressively tonight and caught a couple of big hands when he needed them. In the end he outlasted Steven Radack, who himself had taken a tighter and more patient route to get to the final two. They both had different styles, but they both played very well. Congratulations and a sincere 'Thank You' to everyone who played tonight. Everyone played well - 9 players were left in the game after the first hour!

Table #6 (start time 05/05/05 7:04pm - 128 minutes)

1. John Robertson
2. Steven Radack
3. Tony Ford
4. Hunter Cameron
5. Chris Morris
6. Dan Carpenter
7. Kelby Dennard
8. John McGill
9. David Denenburg
10. Charles Dunshie

We are now more than half the way through the tournament. The next game will be held in two weeks on Wednesday May 18. It is currently full, but as we have learned today, the game isn't really full until it's played! If you want to get on the waiting list, there is a good chance you might get to play. After May 18, the next games are June 1 and June 4. Chances are running out if you're still waiting!

Why? What happened at the game?

Nothing happened at the game - these comments are a rough spot, especially the anonymous ones.

Email me if you want to buy John's seat and I will forward your inquiry to him.

The rules have always been pretty clear that if someone wants to buy a seat at the final table, they may and the schedule of first round dates will be adjusted "accordingly". Although no one seems to be currently interested in that option, if someone wanted to buy one directly from me right now, I would accept the offer and then choose to cancel one of the remaining games (most likely I would cancel either the game that has the fewest # of people signed up or the very last game).

I don't mean to be hard or callous, but if that happened and I canceled one of the remaining tables, everyone signed up for that game would be SOL and I wouldn't have a whole lot of sympathy given that they could have signed up to play at an earlier date.

But like I said, it probably isn't going to happen.
