Call, Raise or Muck It - Poker Blog

After 11 hours and 40 minutes of playing in the Casino Employee event and dodging bullets from 1160 players, I bowed out in 72nd place. I never got sucked out on, so no bad-beats to tell about. I sucked out once, spiked a Jack on the river after we were in the money.

Getting to the money was strange. When there were 101 players left, (Ninety-nine getting paid), they announced that we would go "round for round". I am not sure why they wanted to do it that way, maybe it was faster then "hand for hand". Each table held up and then we were told to deal. The dealer would deal one complete round - 10 players, 10 hands - 9 player, 9 hands. Every player that was eliminated in the round during this time would share equally in the amount of money that was "won" from 99th place down. After the last table had finished their one round, there was 94 players left. So 7 players chopped up 5 money finishes. And got under the $600 W2G limit.

I found it interesting that I was never moveed from table 149, seat 4 the entire tournament. I was the last original player from the table that was eliminated.
