Poker Classic at the Horseshoe Indiana

Jan & Dan Numan made the trip to the Horseshoe and had a small amount of success in the tournaments. Jan played in the seniors event and cashed, Dan played in a regular noon event and placed 2nd.

Very nice trip.

The play was pretty fierce for the Bracelet tournament. It lasted longer than any of the free rolls ever do.

ABOUT THE WSOP
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the largest, richest and most prestigious gaming event in the world awarding millions of dollars in prize money and the prestigious gold bracelet, globally recognized as the sport’s top prize. Featuring a comprehensive slate of tournaments in every major poker variation, the WSOP is poker’s longest running tournament in the world, dating back to 1970. In 2009, the event attracted 60,875 entrants from 115 different countries to the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and awarded over $174 million in prize money. The WSOP in December, 2008 was named the 7th most admired sports brand in North America by the Turnkey Sports Survey, trailing only the older and more established NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR and PGA Tour among sports properties.

Couples Tournament Winners

Nicki & Ed Reining winners of the First Couples Tournament.
It seemed as if the couples were having a good time. I heard comments about what a good time it was.
It may be a tournament we will try again and see how it is received by the players. I know we will have to have more female players. They were in great demand, and some of the men could not find a partner.

Rules at the Table

Lets go over some of the rules and common courtesy at the poker table.
The Tennessee Poker League tries- to the best of our abilities- to stay with the rules that the WSOP and other professional groups play by.
All poker rooms in casinos are now smoke free. We started that last year and with few exceptions it has worked well.
Phones are not allowed at the table during a tournament. They are allowed in cash games, however--you will be dealt around if you are on the phone and your hand will be declared dead if you answer it after you have cards.
Discussing the board is something that should not be done. If you were playing in a cash game and it had a bad beat jackpot the house could call the hands dead if someone at the table was talking about the flop. Besides that--you give the players the unfair advantage of your thoughts of what is possible. Perhaps they had not seen the same thing or the possibility of the hand.
Moving Chips when you move Tables we have always had the rule that you cannot put the chips in your pocket or purse or anywhere else out of sight. Your chips will be dead and you will be out of the tournament.
Mike Green 2009 Numan's Free Roll Player of the Year Mike had a really great year in the free rolls and in the league games. He played very good all year, and rarely missed a game. Was amazing how he made the final table so many times.
