Full House
So after a couple of years of not hosting a charity tournament, my Knights of Columbus Council finally had one for a 12 year old that suffered a brain aneurism in early August. I agreed to basically run it (which meant I wasn't going to play
)... someone had to bite the bullet. We started with T15K starting stacks with unlimited rebuys and add ons till the first break, there were some complaints about unlimited add ons after the tourney, but hey its charity, more money in the end. Used a @BGinGA approved blind structure that I stole from another thread somewhere (thanks Dave!), you should have heard the grumbles and attempted corrections to the level 1 jump to level 2 blinds (25/50 to 25/75). All the local VFW and Moose lodge tourney players said level 2 should be 50/100, of course these are the guys that were approached first to run it and declined.....good guys that will always help when asked, but don't like to be in charge of anything. That also meant @links_slayer 's CPS chips he raffled off last winter finally got put to use.
So finally some pRon:
starting stack:
Action Shots:
Final Table:
Had 24 players with 26 rebuys/add ons totaling $1240 , also ran a 50/50 raffle on the side as well. Payout was 50% with the other 50% going to the family to help with medical expenses. Payout was $265, $175, $105, $55, and $20 (I know). In the end we will be giving the family a little over $700 from this event along with some other monies we have raised.
