Borgata Chop, Drizz Rolls

Filed in archive Tournament News on May 8, 2008

As I'm folding my way through another Battle of the Blogger Tournament series with the Wednesday night Mookie after an unsuccessful attempt at the Razz tourney last night, I thought I'd update here on the finish of Buddy Dank's maiden livepokerradio.com voyage at the Borgata.

The $500,000 deep stack tourney ended with confusion, and ultimately a four-way chop of the top prizes. Officially the win went to Schuyler Twaddle from Chesterbook, PA but also involved with the chop are Weiwen Lang, online wunderkind Alan "Bodog Ari" Engel, and Mark Reynolds.

Update on the Mook, made the break, did a diving leap resteal with 97s only for Astin to call with my favorite hand 99.

I did not suckout. I am a poker genius, please remember this because there was 15 levels of thought that went into play like that. Seriously, I think my timing is just a little off as this marks the 30th of these tourneys I've played in with no real bite into the bigger cash. Maybe one of the winners at the Borgata could offer a few words of advice to this struggling tournament donkey.

Congrats again to the crew at Livepokerradio.com on a great first major tourney broadcast!
