Seeing as there are so many things going on this year, I've made the decision to forgo the December qualifier for the NDPT Year End Tournament and instead just have the Final Tournament. Below is the listing of EVERYONE who accumulated points throughout the 2009 NDPT Poker Season... Congratulations! The money that each person paid in to this qualifier has yielded us a pot of $550 that we'll be playing for. The number next to each of your names, signifies the number of chips that each of you will of course will be starting with. The blinds will be in line with the original NDPT blinds schedule (where everyone would normally start out with $1,000 in tournament chips.) This tournament will be held at my house, where it all began. This is a smaller group and a little easier to manage here...
The date will be Saturday, December 12th, 2009 at 7:00pm. (YES, that is THIS weekend!!!) Please let me know as soon as possible if you will be attending. If there are conflicts I may have to make a change, but I'll let everyone know as soon as possible. Depending on the actual number of people that show up to play, we will be playing for either 3 or 4 payouts.
JR Ruble 2,940
Teresa Murray 2,280

Brian Murray 2,040
Del Minturn 1,985

We are the Champions...
Uncle June and I seem to be making this particular outcome into a habit! December 5th, 2 tables of poker miscreants gathered at the Yanok's house at High Noon, to play out the Year End Tournament. Over five hours of play ensued...With lots of ups and downs for us all. This tournament has people starting with dissimilar chip stacks in proportion to their level of wins throughout the year. We had each paid in $5 for every tournament we had participated in throughout the year. Usually 2 per month, since Yanok began holding "double" qualifiers for the whole year. Matt finished in 4th, Steve in 3rd... and Uncle June and I chopped 1st and 2nd... To determine the winner of the championship and the coveted YSOP (Yanok Series of Poker) bracelet, we played it out and I ended up with the BLING! It all sort of erases any and all bad poker mojo throughout the year. Don't think I'll be able to claim anything like "I never win" or that "I'm running bad" without having someone laugh at or slap me in the face.
Great time, great friends, and an incredible hosting job by the Yanoks. Thank you for inviting us into your home time and time again! I look forward to many games to come with you ALL!

WSOP Main Event 2a aftermath, and local boy Brian Schaedlich
According to the head counts available from http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/tourney/updatelander--new.asp there are 2,852 players remaining of the original 6,844 who began the journey that is the 2008 Main Event of the World Series of Poker. Still to come is Day 2b of the event, where the herd will continue to be thinned. It has now been announced that the top 666 will be payed out. (Look momma, it's the devil in the poker.) The field will be easier to maintain and track once all players remaining come together in one room at the same time, to allow play to continue. Needless to say, I'm really interested to see where things stand after Day 2b. But that being said let's take a look at what happened yesterday.
Off the cuff, the first notable point is that both Scotty Nguyen and Robert Varkonyi have both been eliminated from the field. They were the only remaining previous winners of the Main Event remaining entering Day 2a. Other players that I had my eye on fell by the wayside as well, including Barry Greenstein, Paul Wasicka, David Grey, Greg Mueller, Kathy Liebert, Dario Alioto, Barry Schulman, Nick Schulman, Erick Lindgren, and Svetlana Gromenkova.
The top 10 players after Day 2a are Brian Schaedlich 745,000, Hunter Frey 400,000, Jeremiah Smith 390,000, Brandon Adams 371,000, Kellen Hunter 360,000, Patrick Fortin 355,000, David Rheem 320,000, Farhad Sinaei 312,000, Garth Paul 265,000 and Soren Peterson 258,000. With a field with an average stack of 47,994 chips... these guys are pretty healthy at this point.
Recall that I had my eye on the following players, and I'm holding out hope for them: Vanessa Rousso is very short-stacked but I'm holding out hope for her and her 28,000 in chips. Patrik Antonius with 64,125. (I have to add in to my watch list MRS. Antonius (Maya Geller-Antonius) who is currently sitting on 130,000 in chips! Erik Seidel with 145,000, Hoyt Corkins 131,000, Thor Hansen 117,000, Chau Giang 115,000, Robert Mizrachi with 237,000 and of course Brandon Adams who I've already noted (because he's in the top 10) with 371,000 chips. And I can't believe I left out Vince Van Patten, who is above the mid stack with 53,000. Hang in there gang!
Another VERY COOL thing to note is that the current chip leader Brian Schaedlich (745,000) is a local boy, having won his way into the WSOP by winning here in my home state of West "by god" Virginia at the newly opened poker room of the Mountaineer Casino Racetrack and Resort. A Big Thanks to Frank for pointing this out over at his blog and reminding me of the fact! He's also being noticed as is pointed out by this article http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/news/article.asp?newsid=2150. Best of luck to you Brian! You've already done well for yourself, now just keep doin' what your doin' and make for yourself a big payday!
I also can't believe I didn't make mention of the fact that Erick "E-Dog" Lindgren has been named the 2008 Milwaukee's Best Light Player of the Year with a total of 5 cashes AND $1,348,528 in earnings. Congratulations! Check out all the standings at http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/players/2008.asp.
The action gets back underway today at Noon for Day 2b when those who survived Days 1c and 1d will gather to battle on in search of the elusive Main Event WSOP bracelet and ultimately a $9,119,517 payday!
We'll be watching, or rather reading all about it, over at http://www.pokernews.com/live-reporting/2008-world-series-of-poker/main-event/.
Back here, close to home I was told last night what our baseball schedule is like for the Belpre Tournament for this "extended" weekend. Thursday 6:00pm, Friday 6:00pm, Saturday (ugh) 9:00am, 11:15am, and 3:45pm. We'll likely be done after that, as I don't expect us to advance in the finals. Particularly, since there is NO DIVISION between the "A" and "B" All-Stars. In other words, our B team will be going up against A teams too. What kinda idiocy is that?!
Anyway, it is what it is...
