Our first tournament on ParadisePoker attracted 181 players. This time we only had 127 starters. I am a little disappointed in the reduced numbers. I think there were two reasons: (1) The tournament was on the Saturday of the Victoria long weekend. This is “Canada’s long weekend.” After a long Canadian winter the May long weekend marks the traditional kick off to summer and I know a lot of people has commitments for the weekend. (2) I have been very busy the last couple of weeks. I usually take a very active role on PokerForum.ca and UnitedPokerForum.com. These two venues are primary sources of promotion and were ignored over the last couple of weeks. My fault.
In any event, the tournament was a lot of fun. Unlike other online tournaments in which it really is “the faceless masses” these tournaments feel like you are playing with friends.
Some things of note:
Devin “all_aces” Armstrong lost the Team Canuck Poker sidebet. Devin was posting and folding, like last time, but this time Bob, Ralph, and I all got by him. This means that in Las Vegas in June, Ralph buys breakfast and Devin buys Bananas Foster … mmm, bananas with booze, on fire. Yummy.
The winner was Buddy “bemore” Ashmore from Edmonton. The second and third place finishers were both from my hometown of Saskatoon.
