Table #7 of the tournment went off without a hitch tonight and Sal Garcia came out on top of a very active three-handed and then heads-up game at the end. Rob Aspinall, Todd Graham, and Sal each at one time or another controlled more than two-thirds of all of the chips on the table, but it was Sal who ended up being able to hold on for the win. The game ended when Sal's King outkicked Rob's Jack and was very well played all around by all the players.

Incidentally, Sal also finished in the money (4th place) in our big tournament back in November and he is the first qualifier at the final table to be able to claim that. Congratulations!

Also thanks to Canonico for letting us use his house and for starting the game as I had an obligation with Mrs Johnnymac that precluded me from being able to be there at the beginning. Now Mrs Johnnymac has her bathroom tile picked out, but Sal has a chair at the final table.

Table #7 (start time 05/18/05 7:11pm - 139 minutes)

1. Sal Garcia
2. Rob Aspinall
3. Todd "Chief" Graham
4. Juan Miranda
5. Justin Haworth
6. Jeff Johnston
7. Chris Morris
8. Russell Harris
9. Pablo Brito
10. Tom Gibson

The next game in the tournament is scheduled for Wednesday June 1st. It is currently full, but as we have learned before, 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. There are also a handful of seats left for the final Saturday, June 4th. Get yours today.

I will also soon be releasing an updated version of the rules and the blind structure for the final table, hopefully by Monday morning. Be on the lookout.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that a bunch of Canadians showed up last night too. They were fun, but they drank all of Canonico's beer and only bought into the game for $76.80!
