I believe a good time was had by all battling for my $100 today in the Tournament on Full Tilt ! Turbos are so much more fun than regular games, don't you think ?...lol...
apfjr bested the field and took down the $38 1st prize money, Congratulations my friend !
bigpoppaboats finished 2nd after coming to the final table with a commanding lead, cashing in for $22, good game poppa !
MentallInsane pulled out a 3rd place finish with several all ins at the final table, all of them but 1 worked for her netting her $15 for her efforts.
Leavembroke was our 4th place finisher after playing solid poker all day, and managed to win $11 for the effort.
5th place went to poppa_cool when Mentallyinsane pulled out a win in an all in hand to send poppa to the rail, but not without an extra $8 to spend.
$6 was the 6th place prize and it was taken by 351mach1 who had chipped up pretty well early on but went card dead at the wrong time, even after asking the dealer for some help, he didn't get any, and ended up finishing in 6th place.
There was a special prize of $5 donated for finishing on the bubble by madigannnn, and saffyremyst is the lucky recipient of it ! She battled furiously to make the cut, but her K,10 fell to a flush held by bigpoppaboats.
MentallyInsane had a $5 bounty on my head, and PapaPower sucked out a hand on my all in to claim it, he should of folded though....lol...
SwannySA had a $1 bounty on buttondog, and things went so fast I don't know who knocked him out, and he isn't online right now, so I will have to ask him later ...lol...
It was a lot of fun to watch all of the action, and there was even a contest for the best railer of the game ! ......mdafka sponsered it and it caused the chat box to be full of chatter...lol...AF_Aunt was the winner of it, and a lot of it had to do with the creativity she had in using parts of the Top Cat Cartoon theme song in her railing !
I believe that is about it, and I feel that even though that The Needle in a Haystack Contest cost me a total of $150 to put on, it was worth if for the fun I had, and the fun I witnessed so many others having ! Be careful to watch my blogs, because you never know when I might just do this again...lol...
....Play on....Tc....

Again thank you Topcat1954, I had a HOOT, played some of the best RB's has to offer ( papapower and TC were at my table to mention a couple ) and got the right cards at the right time to make the money and then take down 2nd place.
Hats off to apfjr on beating me HU ... ask Railjoe , that aint no easy feat LOL.
I got revenge for Tc being sucked out on by papapower LOL. I got that evil Gnome..
TY to all that played and made it the wonderfull experience that it was.
My lil BR needed this boost and after 3 days of horrific beats and some donk but moves on my part, my losing streak seems to be over. It was so bad I quit playing for a day and wouldn't have played Tc's tourney but that I was already in. I have found that sometimes the only way to win is to NOT play, at least for a while.
Peace and GL .. see ya on the felt
WTG AP!!!......and congrats to all ITM.
ooooops...... I was so excited about the railing I forgot to congratulate the winners...lol. This was the most exciting tourney I'v seen yet!
We have transferred $1.00 from your account to 'babyphatcat' as per your request.
Good luck to you both.
Regards,
It was an entertaining tournament. It is very interesting to watch the people who are giving out the advice.
Good luck on the felts.
