Big Money Sunday – March 7th | Poker From The Rail

Big Money Sunday – March 7th

Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail

It was an interesting week for your hack blogger as I made a trip south from my dungeon to sling chips with a few fellow scribes and basically solidify our status as a bunch of degenerates. There were cash games and a tournament which also locked my classification as a fishy donkey shove monkey but it was a great time. The highlight of my tournament action included drawing a seat directly to the right of poker legend Lee Jones and then hitting the rail before the first break. It was a great week that had a bunch of old school poker bloggers gather over adult beverages and finding anything we could to bet on. Great times that deserve their own trip report.

That also meant my time spent in front of the laptop and internet was severely limited by access issues and other things involving my previous statements. It was good to get away from the grind and live a little but now it’s time to jump back in with both feet. Starting with the Big Money Sunday tournaments which drew it’s regular big fields and interesting finishes.

It was obvious from following the twitter feeds throughout the evening we were seeing a deep run by several big names with the most notable finish coming from Paul “kwickyfishycake” Wasicka and his second place finish in the $750,000 Guarantee. This continues his hot streak for the year after taking down the WSOP Circuit event at Tunica and his 9th place showing at the 2010 Heads Up Poker Championship. Pro Matt “mattyv” Vengrin made a final table appearance in the Sunday Mulligan and new Full Tilt pro Caio Pimenta continues to impress since his debut with another $200,000 Guarantee final table. According the numbers, Pimenta’s ROI since joining Team Full Tilt is an incredible 123%. Not a bad way to kick off your red letter status.

Don’t forget to get your satellites and buyin’s ready as a MiniFTOPS XV kicks off on March 10th. More on that later.
