The Bike $150k guarantee had a pool of $185k proving my point that a $200k guarantee would have been easy to offer.No gamble in the casino owners anymore. The winner was Cau Nguyen who was fifth in chips at the start of the FT. Brian Patrick had $2.1m of the $5m in play and finished second. Top pro Nam Le grinded his way into third place. With Tuan Nguyen in fourth that gave Vietnam three of the top four cashes.
Cau Nguyen has been playing for eight years and considers himself an aggressive player.Thanks to Matt Snodgrass for the info.
1) Cau Nguyen $54k
2) Brian Patrick $28k
3) Nam Le $13k
4) Tuan Nguyen $10k
Tonight was another guarantee. A $545 with a $150k guarantee with two day1’s. Less than 200 players tonight.The $500 buy in is always on the high side for the locals. I noted Estrella Baltazar,Lila Murcia,Young Phan, Marcel Sabag, Kenna James + Soheil Shamseddin playing.
I asked Soheil what went wrong in the LO8,where he was chip leader with twenty players left and missed the money. Soheil informed me that he flopped a st8 to lose to a river flush, then he had a FH beaten by a better FH. Some days Omaha8 is like that.
Estrella Star and Vinny Vinh collected $1k from the $545.The following will return on Wednesday:
Haik Kyurumyan 241k
John Le 235k
Eric Hershler 153k
Turbo Nguyen 133k
Sarkis Semerdjian 89k
Jack Singh ,not Vietnamese but Indian won the bounty tournament. That could be Jack’s first win in a tournie.
Wednesday sees a potential small field for the 2-7 Triple Draw/Badugi at 1pm before a $335 NLHE at 6pm.
