STARTPOST TITLE: Lavalife Tournament AUTHOR: Damian DATE: 6/09/2006 04:56:00 PM ----- BODY:

Last night was the Lavalife/Party Poker tournament. I qualified for this a couple months ago by finishing in the top 20 of a freeroll. There were lots of no shows in that one.

With 220 people qualified and even last place guaranteed a $25 Gift Card, there weren’t many no shows last night. Seems like everyone was playing for 2nd place (a 50” plasma TV). No one wanted the 1st place trip for 2.

I made it to 61st then my luck ran out. Blinds started to get too high at that point where everyone was pushing with any A or K. I still managed to win a $75 Gift Card. Although I’m not sure for what store though.

Actyper made it a little further and won a $100 GC while BrianSterling made the final table and won himself an ipod. This morning I logged into Party and it seemed like the final 2 were still playing. When I opened the table it looked like they had just set themselves to be away. NO ONE WANTED TO WIN! I guess we could have predicted that since the 2nd place prize was so coveted. I was about to post this on the PSO forum when one of the guys there confessed that he was one of the final 2 and Party/Lavalife agreed to give them both a TV.
