| Kramp claims this chair is ergonomically better for his back, I think he does it to punish himself for his bad play. |

WSOD 2011 - EVENT #2 - Pot Limit Hold Em
We had 2 tables of 8 start the tournament with a new blind structure for this event. In the money were...
4th - Co-Bra
3rd - Princess Leahy
2nd - Ali-G
1st - Drumroll please...as J-Lo's writers so brilliantly penned "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I drop, I'm still Dandy from the Bloch."
Dandy Bloch is first time bracelet winner. He is an Aries and enjoys long walks with his vest...

| The seventh sign of the apocalypse. |
Being that no one is familiar with Pot Limit, I'd guess that 90% of all bets were "pot". This turned the new structure into a shove fest. After the first three levels, it felt like if you chose to play a hand, it could be your last - no matter how many chips you had. On the other hand, you knew if you doubled up, you had another rotation of breathing room. I had a lot of fun in this one even though I donked out in 7th.
Update on the following;
1. Dandy Bloch has placed a $20 bounty on Nat X's head. Co knocked out and X and Dandy took the whole thing down.
2. Ali vs Big Stack on the last longer. This challenge was BS to incite side action, however Ali would have won it. There were more last longer bets amongst the group and Big Stack and I both were in the positive from the side action.
Here are some pictures from the tournament.

| Harvey missed the all black attire at the black table memo. His black heart makes up for it. |
 |
| Co takes out X and collects the $20 Dandy put on his head. So sweet! |
 |
| The losers side of the final table. We ended up starting a cash game where we sat, while the money winners duked it out on the other half of the table. |
 |
| Then there were two. Dandy made coin flips and Ali had a small starting range. Both strategies worked great in a pot limit format. |
Following the tournament, we had a few more guys come out and we ran two tables of .25 / .50 No Limit Hold Em, starting with the kids table.
The Blog Bonus was won by Big Stack Bobby Allen, the second most prolific poster, leaving the number 1 poster, Brain Kramp needing to win his money legitimately at the tables. A new page for all Blog Bonus winners has been started here.

| Sheldon timed his entrance perfectly to catch the first 3 players out at the kid's table cash game. |
 |
| Kirby and Special K picked out kid's toys as card markers. When the other two were getting theirs, I reminded Kramp that the doll he was given may contravene his court order, so I switched it to a little people lion. |

| Another.......tough........decision........ |

| It's like a poor Mexican zoo. Wherever you look, you see donkeys. Bwahhhh Hahhh hahhahahaha. |
 |
| Big Stack Brunson once again lives up to his name and played good, taking down some serious coinage. |
The Jackpot Bonus was won by Gosselin on his first night of many out at our home game. You can see the particulars of this hand and a picture of the big man on a new page I created for all Jackpot winners here.
New nickname given - Jerry is a friend of Dandy's who has come out a few times and is a really decent dude. He has been bestowed his Pass The Dip nickname - Jerry Bust. This is a rip of Jerry Buss the poker playing owner of the LA Lakers who also did not win our tournament.

looks like i left a little early..... whenever pancakes has that many chips in front of him you know that the game is easy!
We should have all known it was meant to be when the final table started with a Nickleback song...
Dandy was so excited to take this one down - he couldn't even process it at first. When he finally did, he was so giddy he, he had an awesome perma grin and couldn't stop gushing. AWESOME! I liked that he didn't even stay for the cash game, because he had a flight to catch.
Win a tourney, catch a flight - just like a high rollin pro...
Why did you leave so early Brain Kramp? Did you have an early morning meeting with your financial advisor? (You didn't want to lie about assets - gotchya.)
Can you buy stocks with gift certificates?
One word, Styrofoam, buddy, its the material of the future.
i had to leave early because the stench of fish was so strong i wanted to puke. that smell was mostly coming from you...... geez, just thinking of that smell makes me wanna gag!
It was a good night. Lots of fun. Thanks goes out to Clayton fo hooking up the chairs.
when's the next one clay? i need to get my game on and win some money!
Clay as always a very classy event, thanks for being the host with the most.
as X mentioned I think we should start every final table with nickleback song. good thinking.
I still cant believe i won the best was when my wife asked me the next morning at 6 am if i won her a braclet as she says every morning after an event. and i got to say yes.....
Best point of the night was when X got knocked out. Only because he was chirping all day at me. LOL sweet victory. now i want to win again
Dandy from the Bloch
and the mexican Zoo comment was sooo funny bahhhhhhh haaaaa
Dandy - You know how X and Brain Kramp love to talk-oh.
unlike X my walk is MUCH bigger than my talk.... X just likes to rant incoherrent sentences and play like he's retarded, and he learned everything he knows from clayton...... go figure
Listen Kramper - your walk is so unimportant. X even has a walk named after him, the X-walk. And to top it off they even put lights up and make cars stop in his honour.
You do walk the walk alright - sort of like the kids game where you run around a bat 10 times with your head on the nob and then try and return to the starting line.
It's very much like you sitting at a poker table, spewing chips and then trying very hard to break even.
