what a turnout!

over 500 players sat down last night to play for the $5k Borgata Open seat. not surprisingly, players were coin flipping for their tournament lives from the get go. Pauly did an excellent recap of the action.

I had Pauly, Speaker, Drizz, BoneDaddy and several other bloggah favs at my starting table throughout the night. Tina ran the Hilton sisters into cowboys and hit the rail early.




I went out in classic bloggament fashion with QQ a few spots from the money bubble when i shoved from EP and got called by two players. One player held 77 and the other A9o. Obv the worst hand took it down when a 7 hit the turn.

Even when the field was narrowed to two tables, the action was fast and furious. I saw more A-rags hit the rail or double up than i think i've ever witnessed in a single tournament.

Evy Ng's fanboy of the 2008 WSOP Main Event was among the chip leaders most of the way ran like gawd and eventually took it down.

With the exception of the PokerStars blogger giveaway behemouth, this was the largest blogger turnout ever.

Congrats to Pauly on his 5 years at Tao of Poker.
