Any chiptalkers from Winnipeg or surrounding area? This Friday, May 26 there is a T10000 no-limit Holdem tournament with all proceeds going to the Special Olympics. Buy-in is $30 with re-buys of $15 for the first 1 hour 40 minutes.
63 players is a sell-out (nine tables of 7), and we have a dozen or so tickets left.

Hope to see you there...dealing starts at 7:00 sharp. My guess is that the place will resemble an aquarium. I so wish I could play in this. (I am tournament director)

PS there is a raffle for some top-notch chips during the evening. See my "Forgive me for I have sinned" thread for details.

Update... as of Wednesday night there are still 4 tickets left.

The tournament was a big success. Two short of a sell-out, absolutely no problems, and raised about $1500 for Special Olympics. One of the regulars from my home game took second, lost when his pocket 4's lost to A,7 when a 7 hit on the turn, both all in pre-flop.

Nice, I am glad it was a success. I am sure the Special Olympics will appreciate your efforts - YOU DA MAN!!!!!
