July 19, 2017: Great Runs by Dan Molatore and Steve Tamobline Fall Short of Cash

They both made Day 3 and they both got a sniff of the money, but ultimately neither Dan nor Steve were able to cash in the Main Event. Solid run boys and I know it hurts like hell to bust that tournament.

 

July 19, 2017: Congrats to Colin Genge on Cashing Seniors Event for $3074!

From Colins own words:

 

Day 1:

Got my big start after 30 minutes w pocket 3s next to  button who raised big. Called in 7 spots. flop A 8 3 w 2 hearts.  Checked to me, bet 500, button goes all in with 10 7 bluff, guy next to me shoves with A and two hearts.  Triple up.

 

lose two all ins w my AK then QQ but chip up anyway w set of 10s against guy 1 in 3 way all in.

 

limp AA, which I muck when guy 1 hits broadway w AK;  would have gotten knocked out if i raised.  Later, w 35,000 chips I limp AA against same guy who hits set of 7s, he calls my bet on flop, slow playing. I hit set of As on turn, he shoves I clobber him. Up to 70,000.

 

Big stack bluffs me with nuts and I go up to 92,0000

 

Having great time. Hope to win a ton for League. Great to see Brant still in it.

 

Day 2:

With 28,000 in chips and the blinds up to 3000 I shoved all in with 56 suited in the small blind since no one else had called or raised up to that point and assumed that there was a reasonably good chance I could get the big blind to fold or beat them. He called with A8.

 I needed to stay in for another 50 levels in order to see a $500 increase in pay out and thought I needed to exploit every opportunity to chip up.

Early on I folded A king three times after someone went all in with a 25,000 stack which I could've afforded to play against.  I was the one that should've been putting the big raise in and call if they shoved over top but I started out being too conservative and then I became too liberal. I needed a strategy that was somewhere in between or at least a consistent one

 

I cashed for $3074

April 9, 2017 Dan Molatore and Steve Tamboline off to the WSOP Main Event!!

Well after going 70 minutes 6 handed without busting anyone out late Friday, it took all of 30 minutes to decide the winners today.

 

The first casualty came when Steve Tamboline raised from the small blind and Jamie Hucul called from the big to see a flop of 578. Steve checked, Jamie went all in with 67ss and Steve snapped with 69 for the nuts. No mircales and Jamie was out in 6th.

 

Johnny Dai had come into the day with just 3 BB's. He found AT and shipped only to run into Jason Nadeau's 55. A 5 on the the flop and Johnny could not hit his gut shot on the river and he would drop in 5th.

 

Garry Juvelin would ship UTG 4 handed with QT only to be called by KJ of Steve Tamboline. The board ran clean and we were on our ME bubble.

 

Jason shipped from the button and Dan Molatore tanked. During the tank, Jason asked what the penalty would be if he showed a card. I explained it would be a one lap penalty. Jason thought about it and showed an Ace. Dan then folded and Jason showed A3 and needed to sit out the next 3 hands.

 

When Jason got back into the action he again shipped with A3. Steve called with K9cc. The board ran out 7cTd2d2hKh. The dramatic King on the river ended it. Dan and Steve had won the ME seats!

 

Dan and Steve played it out for fun and Dan won the tourney.

 

Congrats to everyone. It was a lot of fun and I feel we are sending some very capable players to Vegas.

 

We had one player, Andrew Creed, win a seat starting with only 1000 chips. We had Garry start with 3,000 and our two winners started the tourney with 4,000 (Steve) and 10,500 (Dan). Proves that anything can happen, and you should never give up.

April 1, 2017: Michelle Owen wins Event #10, Trevor Massey Wins Season Points

Michelle Owen outlasted Trevor Massey in another huge event with 103 runners. There were some interesting hands throughout the night, but none more interesting than a AA vs KK vs AJ vs a folded preflop QQ in a pot that had some controversy preflop when original raiser bet, next player pushed all in over the top with 14,300, Shawn Lange announce 7,500 and then Ryan McDonald pushed all in for over 40,000. Shawn had the QQ and would fold correctly preflop only to wath as he would have won the massive pot when a Queen hit the board.

 

It was a very interesting battle for the overall points lead and guaranteed prize. With Shaun Ali going out halfway through the night, the focus switched to Paul Deol and Dave Sims who both needed a 7th place finish or better to pass Paul. The other contenders were Trevor Massey who needed at least a top 3 and Jason Nadeau and Chris Fraser, but both of them would need a first and a whole lot of help. When Dave Sims busted one shy of the points and Paul, Trevor, Chris and Jason were still in, it started to get interesting. Both Paul ad Trevor had big chips at the time. Paul would go a little card dead, but he hung on enough to get his required 2,500 points and passed Shaun Ali. There were 6 players remaining and Trevor needed to finish 3rd or better to pass Paul. He did just that finishing in 2nd place and guaranteeing himself a WSOP trip. Congrats Trevor.

 

The in-the-point finishers were: Michelle Owen ($1,100), Trevor Massey ($1,100), Roger Grosset ($700), Ryan McDonald ($500), Jason Nadeau ($400), Ray Rohrback ($300), Paul Deol ($200), Chris Fraser ($150), Rik Rohrback ($150, rebuy), Mike Moffatt (non-league), Reena King ($100), Mike Taylor ($100, non-league), Rommel Catalan ($100), Tanya Refuse (non-league), Mike Reimer (non-league), Alyssa Webber (non-league), Guy Bottin, Darren Kennedy, Jim Prime, Jeff Scott, Jesse Forster (non-league), Jamie Hucul, Terry Goode (non-league), Mike Twitchell, Steve Mclarty, Brian Taylor.

March 11, 2017: Todd Fletcher Takes Down Event #9, Ray Rohrback Wins 10,000 Points, Shaun Ali Takes Over Points Lead

First off Blake Vailes failed to 3peat even though he did try twice by rebuying last night. A solid run nonetheless for Blake. We had an enormous 108 entries and Todd Fletcher ultimately won the event against Ray Rohrback. Todd had a decent stack most of the night but it was with 27 players left when he became one of the big stacks with a double knockout including yours truly when his AA held against my QQ and Kyle Coulthard’s KK in a classic cooler. Shaun Ali finished in 3rd place, good for 8,000 points and enough to leap frog over Paul Deol and Dave Sims all the way to the points lead. The leader in points at the end of event #10 will have a guaranteed seat so this is quite a significant feat.

 

Also of note Mike Honeyman all but locked up the Nadeau Fantasy pool by having 5 of his picks make the points last night.

 

The in-the-point finishers were: Todd Fletcher ($1,250, non-league), Ray Rohrback ($1,150), Shaun Ali ($700), Stan Zatylny ($550), Mark Scott ($400), Eddie Skoko ($300, non-league, playing for Mo Pannun), Mike Honeyman ($200), Roger Grosset ($150), Scott Brynen ($150), Andrew Krywaniuk ($150), Kal Kooner ($100, rebuy), Darren Barker ($100), Jamil Jutha ($100), Reena King ($100), Everett Wicklund, Ivan Mahood, Dan Cassidy, Dan Molatore, Rob Sims, John Hebel (non-league, playing for Brent Senko), Buddy Lane.

February 11, 2017: Blake Vailes Goes Back-to-Back for Event #8

Blake Vailes wins again, this time best a field of 88 players. We also saw both of the Lange brothers at the final table together.

 

The in-the-point finishers were: Blake Vailes ($1,200, non-league, playing for Dan Cassidy), Kelly Lange ($850, non-league), Damien Zillig ($600, non-league playing for Johnny Dai), Trevor Massey ($420), Paul Deol ($320), Mark Juvelin ($260), Brad McKibbon ($200, non-league), Dave Sims ($150), Shawn Lange ($100, non-league), Mike Honeyman ($100), Wade Antoniuk ($100), Rik Rohrback, Richard Wardroper, Everett Wicklund, Michelle Owen, Jamil Jutha, Keith Fisher, Andrew Krywaniuk, David Slater, John Forsythe, Heather Reid (non-league, playing for Ramiro), Thomas Davis, Eric Ruttan.

 

February 7, 2017: Blake Vailes Triumphant Return, Rik Rohrback wins Points in Event #7

Blake Vailes hadn’t been to a Die Hard event for a while but he made it count taking down Event #7 after chopping the money with Rik Rohrback in a field of 101 players. Rik gladly took the 10,000 points. The trio of friends consisting of Alyssa Webber (3rd), Todd Fletcher (5th) and Damien Zillig (7th) makes me think about implementing a no-shark clause. Well done guys and gal. Perenially late showers Fraser and Wardroper also final tabled making me think there might be something to their Hellmuth-esque approach to tardiness.

 

The in-the-point finishers included: Blake Vailes ($1,150, non-league), Rik Rohrback ($1,150), Alyssa Webber ($650, non-league), Ivan Mahood ($500), Todd Fletcher ($400, non-league), Chris Fraser ($300), Damien Zillig ($200, non-league), Bob Deforest ($150, rebuy), Richard Wardroper ($150), Darren Kennedy ($100, rebuy), Shaun Ali ($100), Buddy Lane ($100), Barry Stanford (non-league, playing for Stan Zatylny), Michelle Owen, Brent Senko, Robert Brechin, Ramiro Dominguez, Mike Twitchell, Jamie Hucul, Jeff Nason, Wade Antoniuk, Andrew Krywaniuk, Gord Edwards (non-league), Brant Taylor, Darren Callaghan (non-league), Mike Mittermuller

 

January 24, 2017: Mike Honeyman wins, chops first place with Paul Deol

October 30, 2016: Elton Ngan beats Brant Taylor

Another large turnout saw 98 players show up. The tourney moved at blazing speed until finally slowing down when the final table was reached. In the end Elton beat Brant for the title and 10k points. Shaun Ali, Everett Wicklund and Chris Fraser have now pointed in all 3 events and Everett maintains a solid grip on first place.

 

The in-the-point finishers were: Elton Ngan ($1,200), Brant Taylor ($1,000), Shaun Ali ($650), Mike Farnese ($500), Brent Senko ($400), Steve Tamboline ($300), Doug Cornelson ($200, re-entry), Mike Bigelow ($150), James Tichenor ($100), Grant Willis ($100, non-league), Darren Callaghan ($100), Niko Bourassa-Wright ($100, re-entry), Steve Mclarty, Ed Sue (non-league, playing for Kelli Cera), Everett Wicklund, Darren Kennedy, Rik Rohrback, Chris Fraser, John Forsythe, Mike Mittermuller, Ramiro Dominguez.

 

October 1, 2016: Jim Prime beats Trevor Massey. Everett 2nd Straight Top 3

We set a record with 90 unique players and a total of 104 buy-ins. We paid a total of 13 spots for this tournament and there were the usual plethora of suck-outs and crazy hands. I myself made a ten-high straight flush in one hand to eliminate two players. Mike Martin went on a massive tear in the middle levels, flopping quad 9’s in one hand with K9o to KO a player who held QQ and then 2 hands later held 93o in a raised pot only to flop T99 and takeout another unlucky soul. In the end he couldn’t quite hold onto them long enough as he finished as our unfortunate bubble-boy. When the final table hit the bigstacks tangled and tangled often. AA vs QQ was one such hand.

 

The in-the-point finishers were: Jim Prime ($1,200), Trevor Massey (re-entry $900), Everett Wicklund ($650), Roger Grosset ($500, re-entry), Dan Molatore ($400), Jamil Jutha ($300), Allan Foster ($200), Jason Nadeau ($150), Deepak Bhasin ($150), Shaun Ali ($100), Paul Deol ($100), Teigh Mckerl ($100, non-league), Johnny Dai ($100), Mike Martin (re-entry), Keith Fisher, David Malik (non-league), Hal Fellingham, Rob Sims, Reena King, Darren Kennedy, Chris Fraser, Steve Mclarty, Mark Juvelin.

We have 85 confirmed league members. We only have 5 spots remaining. If you want in let me know ASAP!! Just planning to drop in? Get your name to me now. Dropins will be in order that I know of you coming. Likely will have to await bustouts to get a seat.

 

August 24, 2016: Season #12 Starting Soon

Time to firm up a few things.

 

1) It looks like we may have more than 80 league members this year so if you know anyone that hasn't replied or any potential new members please let me know soon as I may have to cut it off at the first 90 for space limitations that reply.

 

Also with only two guys I haven’t heard from I have put them tentatively in the not returning column: Mike Felhauer and Tony Macedo

 

If you are one of these guys or know one of these guys please get me a response. If they all return we have 83 players. Likely a few won't so we are probably sitting around 75-77.

 

If your name is NOT on the website it means I don't know you are coming so please email me again to let me know I missed you.

 

2) We have 13 signed up for golf (check the front page). I have asked for 5 tee times, so that means we have room for 7 more golfers. First come, first served. I don't have the tee times yet but they will likely be in the 10am-1pm time frame.

 

3) Please remember that the money for the league fees is the equivalent of $500 USD this year ($50 USD or $70 CDN per event). I would prefer you bring USD, but I am also fine with Canadian. For first event please bring either $150 USD or $200 CDN for league fees on top of $50 CDN for the tourney portion.

 

So for event #1

Option 1: $150 USD + $50 CDN

Option 2: $250 CDN

Option 3: $500 USD + $50 CDN

 

For Events #2-8 (if you don't pay the $500 USD up front)

Option 1: $50 USD + $50 CDN

Option 2: $120 CDN (or whatever the current exchange rate is at that time)

 

If this is at all not clear please ask me via email. I will be exchanging all CDN into USD as soon as feasible after each event.

 

If you prefer you can bring the entire $500 USD on day one and then just be responsible for the cash tourney portion for the rest of the year. I prefer this as it makes easier for me but I understand most people prefer not to do this.

 

Looking forward to kicking off the 12th edition of the Die Hard Poker League!!

July 30, 2016: Die Hard Poker League 2016/17 Season Preparations

Hello everyone,

 

Well August is here shortly and it is time to start organizing the next version of the Die Hard Poker League.

 

1. Schedule

Below are my proposed dates for our 12th incarnation of the Die Hard Poker League. Please look closely at the dates and if you have any conflicts, especially if they may apply to multiple people, let me know and I may alter them. Tried to avoid any conflicts with holidays etc. The first date is solid so you can start planning around that one.

 

1. Saturday September 10th

2. Friday, September 30th

3. Friday, October 21st

4. Friday, November 18th

5. Friday, December 2nd

6. Friday, January 13th

7. Friday, January 27th

8. Friday, February 10th

9. Friday, March 3rd

10. Friday, March 31st

11. League Final Friday, April 7th, Sunday Apr 9

 

2. Membership

Also it’s is that time again. If you know you are joining the league again or for the first time, now is the time to let me know so I can start accumulating the list of returnees. Please email me and I will add you to the list of confirmed league members. Also if you know you are not going to join please let me know that as well.

 

3. Rule Changes

Also officially requesting any rule change suggestions at this time. The next 4 weeks is the ONLY time I take suggestions or consider rule changes so don't miss this opportunity.

 

a. One thing we will do this year is make the league fees in USD instead of CAD to insulate us from changes in the exchange rate. That means you are responsible for $500 USD. The tourney buyin will remain at $50 CAD.

 

b. We will be making the League Final a slower structure for the final 9 by stopping play shortly after making the money and playing out the final 5-9 on a separate day. This will allow people to have room to play when playing down to the big prize.

 

Looking forward to seeing you all again real soon.

 

Darren
