Second Annual Spacemonkey Poker Open

Well, technically the new name is the Foxboro Poker Open. My second annual deepstack event. Last year we had 15 players in a T10,000 event, blinds started at 25-50 and lasting 45 minutes per round. This was a two day event, but it was down to the final three for day 2 (which lasted less than 20 minutes!). You can read about last year here: linky

This year's event is tomorrow, Saturday October 28th. Currently I have 13 players confirmed and 2 more possible. I invited enough for 3 tables, but it is what it is. With my new batch of ASM's, this year is T20,000 baby. I also upped the prizes, which are posted here.


I was originally going to go with the Bellagio T20,000 schedule (starting at 50-100) (See the Bellagio schedule here), but opted to go with the Foxwoods WPT event schedule taking place in a couple weeks. (See the Foxwoods schedule here). The basic differences are minor:
  • Foxwoods has an extra low level of 25-50
  • Foxwoods has a 1200-2400 level replacing Bellagio's 500-1000 level
I'll have 10 minute breaks every 2 levels, and an hour dinner break. A couple of the race-offs don't fall into the scheduled breaks, so they'll be 2 extra breaks for that as well.


Cards should be in the air by 12:30pm. I'm going with 45 minutes levels. I figure we'll end by level 17 - so we should finish around 3am.

Well, I doubt I'll have updated during the day on Sat, but wish me luck and let me know if you have any advice ... I'll be around tonight.

Re: Second Annual Spacemonkey Poker Open

Thanks Captn!



So the dinner break will occur after level 7: 400-800 (100). Anyone care to take a wager at how many people will be left at the dinner break?

A wise man set the over/under at 8 with 13 players, and 9 with 15 players. Maybe I'll see if I can get some side action with this line w/ guys tomorrow.

Unfortunately, no. Didn't even think about it, actually. This will go on the list for next year's event though.

Too bad I didn't live closer to your area, I could always use another 'First Out' trophy to add to my collection.

Good luck at your game.
