March 4, 2023, Andy Goosen wins Event #10, Johnny Dai takes 10,000 points and wins the guaranteed seat for finishing on top of league

In a field of 105 players Andy Goosen took it down outlasting Nathan Owen to win. Marcello Souza was third followed by Eric Aranasa in 4th. But in the battle for league points leader and the guaranteed minimum prize of $1300 CAD, Johhny Dai passed leader Jesse Forster by taking home 10,000 points when he finished in 5th place.

 

In the next couple days I will draw the seats for the Final and post up here. Please note the Final starts at 6pm and not the usual 7pm.

 

January 30, 2023, Chris McDonell wins over Dave Collier in 106 Entry Event #7

In a massive field of 106 entries which saw some people having to wait to be seated it was Chris McDonell who would ultimately finish on top and take down the first place prize. Dave Collier finished second to retake the DHPI lead which Jesse Forster had just taken over in the previous tourneys.

 

We also had an amazing $3,000 last longer going with 30 people fighting for some big side prizes. It was chopped 4 ways with $900 to Harry and $700 each to Dennis, Paul A and Graham.

November 10, 2022, All Time Stats and Die Hard Poker Index Updated

Just an update to let you know I finally got around to updating the All Time Leaders page and Die Hard Poker Index. Dave Collier remains in first in the DHPI, but lots of movement in the top 20 makes it an interesting update including Johnny Poker moving into the #2 spot. See links above on the right.

 

October 21, Michelle Owen Beats Dave Collier for 3rd Die Hard Title

Huge turnout with 91 buyins. Michelle Owen outlasted us all but I was pretty happy to finish 3rd place myself. It is now a long break before our next event, but then we have the double header on back to back nights January 6th and 7th. 

 

October 21, Georg Jancev beats G-Man Graham Spence to take Event #3

Great night of poker saw some big pots all night. The bad luck hand of the night appeared to be pocket Kings as time after time after time people lost big hands holding the cowboys, including to a runner runner straight, to runner runner flush and to 3 outer after 3 outer. Not the hand to hold last night. The final table saw some notable occurrences as we had Johnny and Tosca make the final table together, Paul Anaka make his third consecutive final table and a great 3 way battle for the win as eventually Georg and Graham dispatched Johnny to get headsup. The headsup battel didn’t last long and Georg took home the 10,000 points and $2,000. Well play guys.

 

October 8, Jesse Forster beats Dan Molatore in Event #2

Jesse Forster won the thanksgiving version of Die Hard after a 3 way chop of the money between Jesse, Dan Molatore and Abe Leiren. Abe’s 3rd place finish makes it two top 3’s in a row after being runner up in the first event this year. Paul Anaka and Dave Sims also have back to back final tables this year. All Standings are updated. Sorry for the delay.

 

September 16, Kelly Lange wins Event #1 holding off Abe Leiren who finished Second

The first event drew 89 entries and welcomed all back to the felts. Paul Anaka took 3rd and Dave Sims took 4th. Interestingly both Jamie Hucul and Raj Parmar busted on the same hand while starting with the same chipstack to co-finish 5th/6th.

 

September 16, Event #1 Tonight

Standings page has been updated. Its game day!!

 

September 14, Event #1 Starting on Friday

Looking forward to kicking off the new season this Friday. If you are dropping in as non-league member please email me to let me know. All league members must be paid up to $650 CAD (or $500 USD) by Event #1.

 

See you all for some poker in two days time.

 

August 21, Diehard League Starting Up Again!!

We are coming back at Guildford again. Unfortunately we are having trouble getting decent dates so at this point we are taking what they will give us to make sure we get through the season. Next year, if the date selection remains sketchy then we may have to once again look for another venue. For now we are a go. There are back to back nights in January and February which we will try and spread out but for now that is all we have. Potentially playing on a Sunday with an earlier start time might be an option.

 

As of right now I need to start seeing an interest list. We will go with the same format as always with 10 events being run between September and April.

 

Buyin for each tourney will be $100 and league fees for the season are going to be $650 Canadian (instead of previous years $500USD. All players need to pay the league fees prior to event #1. I will convert all of the league fees into USD after Event #1 to hold as year-end prizes. I would prefer to take the $650 via etransfer ahead of time if possible.

 

So who is in? Send me your $650 via etransfer lock in your spot at darrenkennedydk@gmail.com.

 

I will keep track of who has let me know they are returning and who has paid below and eventually on the standings page that will be created.

 

Who’s playing this year???? Email me or text me if you are in. If your name isn’t here, then I don’t know. Returning players get priority over newcomers.

Event 1 only: Mike Martin
