• Robert Peters was nearly eliminated several times in the tournament and only had $3,000 left and could not afford the big blind of $4,000 when we still had three tables of players.

• In only his second tournament ever, Chris Kulke finished tenth and will take his $590 and go back to his day job as a chiropractor. With all the sitting around and bad posture at a poker event like this, he should have waves of new customers.

• Troy Westwood from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers went out 24th.

• Local Dweeb Matt Cundill went out 22nd, thinking his K/Q was a good hand to play against pocket 6’s. His thinking changed when a 6 turned up on the flop.

• Jason Jaffrey from the Manitoba Moose was the last player eliminated in Friday night’s competition.

• Susan Krepart (our does Power 97 weekend morning show) was the only female in the top 30 and finished 11th overall.

• Worst beat of the tournament: Hal Anderson getting eliminated in on Pocket Aces vs. Pocket Aces – there were four diamonds on the table – and Hal didn’t have the Ace of Diamonds.
