You're a Bunch of Factors

Today Tigers Clubhouse hosted the first ever Victorian Tournament Captain Bounty Event!!

With a $10 buy-in, an impressive crowd of 42 came down for the event, four of whom were Tournament Captains; Chris Kavanagh, Ernie Paterson, Jason Cogo and myself. Of course, whoever eliminated a TC received the $10 bounty!

At the first break only Jason had used a passport, so it was looking good for the TCs.
The first to surrender their bounty was in fact Jason, with Dane Atkin's A 7 standing strong against Jason's K 10, ninety minutes into the game. In the same blind session, Chris Kavanagh pushed with A 10 and was beaten by RJ McCaw's 4 6.
On the two hour mark I was taken out by Paul Florence, his Q 4 strong against my J 9.
No doubt quite pleased with his "last TC sitting" status, Ernie quickly had the smile wiped off his face when Mel Afferi's pocket queens held up against his A K and saw him crash out in 13th!! Mel went on to 2nd place with Joshua Foster the event winner and $160 better off!!!

A big thankyou to everyone who attended today's event and made it a great afternoon!!

For those who didn’t, be sure to head down to Tigers Clubhouse next Saturday to get in amongst the action and bag yourself a TC!!!

By all accounts a great day had by all, the players certainly enjoyed having us play with them, especially with the knowlege that we could win the cash so we would be playing "for something" unlike in the foundation games where we can win nothing. A bit of trash talk was certainly evident on my first table, and all in good fun to, oh and to all those players who said they were gunna take me out, well bad luck and better luck next time, i do believe i outlasted you all, so next time see if you can walk the walk instead of talkin the talk. Congrats to all and well done guys, next week, REVENGE of the TC's, see you all there.

Trash talk?? Really? Hmmmmm, we were quite well mannered

19/12/2009: Ernie makes history by being the first Victorian TC to be eliminated before the first break!!!! Well done Ernie for forever making the rest of us TCs look good

Yeah sure: I made history and am pretty sure that will stand forever.

I will cop it on the chin and won't discuss the raise to 550 with blinds at 25/50 blinds holding KK and what I lost to. That's the fun of being a bounty.

I am sure I will be back again at the next one so some other player can have the privilege of taking down a TC bounty with another great hand.

Oh well done to Rex: I think it was, limp with QQ and a check on the J high flop; played me to perfection, at least my bounty went to a worthy player.

Cheers
