Tournament Review for 5-13-2005 through 5-15-2005
Repeater of the week: HoldumGod, who FT'd the big one on PokerStars. Somehow out of more than 2,500 people, this guy made it to the final 9 in consecutive weeks–Harrington-esque, for certain. Pocketfiver "emmy bob" (emmy23on PokerStars) finished 11th in this one, just missing the final table.
Some other pocketfivers to post great results this weekend did so on Paradise, where members of this community monopolized the top 3 spots in the 100k guaranteed. deleteyou, parapokwins, and ProjectSix were the top 3 finishers in this one.
On Full Tilt, TheDonatorbarely missed the final table in the "Piece of the Pro" tournament, placing 10th. Since tournament tables on that site are 9-max, he didn't quite get into the last group.
Another close final table miss was had by wsop2005 in the $250k guaranteed on PartyPoker. He finished 12th in that event, which was nearly won by evenkeal(gigabet), who finished 2nd. Also on PartyPoker, thehatter(hatjr) got 4th in the $200k guaranteed on Saturday, and ZeeJustin finished 10th in the same tournament. mlabbe22 won the "Friday Special," and SamENoleplaced 13th.
Aawwnutz had a close miss on Pacific, finishing 2nd in their $100k guaranteed tournament.
On UltimateBet, a few noteable high finishes were had by sachdaddy(3rd), swat1025(9th), and soccer mom 2(16th).
