So for the CPers that went to this, how did they do?

Any Flames made it to the final table?

Great time!! I went out about 30th with no rebuy and no add-on either so I was pretty happy in that aspect.

Sat at a table with Mcbackup (who was the last Flame in without losing his jersey) and then proceeded to knock out Johnson, getting his jersey.

Hi-light of the night was sitting with Lundmark to my left and Iginla to my right. The two of them get involved in hand heads up flop comes and Iginla checks it. Lundmark bets out 5K and Iginla moves all-in. By this time i've had a few beer and sorta convinced Lundmark to call. Iginla rolls over pocket aces and takes the pot leaving Lundmark severly crippled.

Few hands later Iginla takes me out. What an awesome time with lots of stories. I highly recommend anyone able to to take part in this event next year.

I thoroughly enjoyed the open bar...
I did knock out Moss, though.

ahh you were at the table next to me, we commented numerous times how we were glad to not be at your table with the Tequila shots.

For the record I too really enjoyed the open bar, perhaps a little to much.

No Tequila shots, just lots of Tequila Seven, hold the Seven...
Gotta loosen up the table somehow!

It's back!

February 23 this year, A Wednesday night seems kind of strange. Not sure if i'm going to play again this year but if anyone is thinking about it I would highly recommend it.

Sorry to bump old thread

Thanks - now if I can just convince my wife to let me ante up the $650 entry fee - I would love to attend this.

Happened last night, anybody play? I was thinking about it but the whole lockout thing and the fact that it was on a Monday night made me think otherwise.

I've been in it every year. Played with Jarome last night and had a great time. He was pretty darn excited about having Big Ern back in the lineup. The only problem with being at Jarome's table is that he's too good a poker player so you don't have much of a shot at his jersey! Great guy.

Raised $250,000 this year:

The overall winner of the tournament was Rob Zimmer, from title sponsor Stephens Fine Homes, who won a $10,000 Poker Championship ring from Jewels by Maxime’s, two tickets anywhere WestJet flies, two 2012-2013 Top Shelf Flames tickets and $5,000 cash. Second place went to Ernest Wyder and the third spot ranking was claimed by Cory Akins. The last Calgary Flame standing was Curtis Glencross.

There are always unlimited re-buys until the break, then one add-on at the break - that's where most of the money raised comes from.

They dropped it down to $550 this year, and sponsorship was half-price.
It was fun, as always, but I did not play very well this year - no cards either.

Yeah, the first time I played, I was shocked at the dough guys were throwing around on the re-buys. If you didn't walk in with $1000 cash in your pocket, you have to play extremely tight until the break!

when I played I think rebuys were about $200, was that still that case?

Being out of town really limits my attendance. The year I did play though I think I drank my entry worth of beer.

Yup. Re-buys and add-on are still $200.
Most people do 2-4 re-buys and one add on, from my drunken recollection.
