The Main Event - LIVE BLOG!

I'm going to be running a live blog tonight for the Main Event of the NYRPS, starting at 9PM ET when the tournament starts!

8:34PM: Currently 11 people signed up. C'mon y'all!

9PM: 16 People In as the tournament starts... but Late Registration is still going on for 10 minutes!

9:06: A short-stacked KebertXelaMH runs into the Aces of GetYourWatch. Kebert was crippled by KK < AK vs Batya.

9:11: Tournament Closed at 17. Top 3 get paid, $204 to the winner, $122.40 to the Runner-Up and $81.60 to third. Unless myself or Blyght or a few others cash, the winner will win the POY race. Sick.

9:21: Card Dead. Waiting for The Hammer now.

9:34: Batya is at it again. Gets it in against GetYourWatch on a T-9-8 board. GetYourWatch holds 7-7, while Batya shows QJ for the nuts. No Runner-Runner Full House and GetYourWatch is out in 16th.

9:42: Out in the 4th Level, 15th place. Sucks. JJ ran into the AA of ugly chimp, and I know i should've folded the turn, but for some reason I had him on AK bluff attempt. Of course I was wrong (standard). A Bud Light should drown my sorrows.

9:44: 3-way all-in on a J-6-2 rainbow flop. Batya has J-T and covers, EllePeaKay has K-J and is all in, and RaysingCayne is the middle stack and has A-Q. Board bricks out and EllePeaKay triples up and RaysingCayne is out in 14th.

9:48: Kings are good for Qwik_Draw as he doubles up to 4800.

9:53: Chiefsfan828 finds AK and doubles up through the AQ of ugly chimp.

9:56: Blyght out in 13th: 55 < KQ of GarryWhite All In Pre.

10:01: craftrt2003 out in 12th: J-6 is no good on a Q-9-6-5 board against 10-10 of Qwik_Draw.

1. GarryWhite - 11,510
2. Batya - 11,305
3. Qwik_Draw - 6,615

3- Qwik_Draw
4- chiefsfan828
5- uglychimp
6- Bull_G8er
7- cemfredmd
8- madbrooklyn
9- EllePeaKay

10:22: EllePeaKay out in 9th. AK can't keep up with Qwik's J-9 sooted after the J hits the flop.

10:24: Qwik_Draw is at it again. A8 goes up against madbrooklyn's KQ and the board brings 9-high. madbrooklyn is out in 8th.

10:25: An 8 on the turn helps chiefsfan828 take out ugly chimp (who called All-In on the river so I can't see his cards). chimp out in 7th.

10:36: Qwik is at it again. A-8 sucks an Ace on the turn against cemfredmd's Q-Q. cemfred out in 6th.

10:48: Batya's turned Broadway with Q-5 is good against Bull_G8er's A-6. Bull out in 5th.

Bubble time.

10:54: Bubble Burst! 2-2 vs A-7 AIPF and a SEVEN on the RIVER for Batya knocks chiefsfan828 out in 4th.

11:01: Batya reveals himself to be from the 2+2 forums. Goooooooooo CP!

11:07: Qwik bites it as his 5-5 is no match for Batya's A-10 when the board has 2 aces AND 2 tens for the uber-house.

HEADS UP!

garrywhite - 27,380
Batya - 23,620

11:12: IT'S OVER! Batya got Garry down to around 8K in chips and was all in pre-flop with J-7 sooted vs Garry's A-Q. Garry hit a Q on the flop but the river brought a King High Straight for Batya and Batya wins the NYRPS Main Event AND the POY Race!
