    Same situation for me. Europe was pushing all the time except for the three or four good hands I got.

    I thought I had him when I flopped a straight, but the turn got him the missing card and he wound up with the same straight so I had to split. No big winning hands because people folded anytime I had anything decent.

    I could've just tried to wait ireland out, but I decided it was time to call.

    In retrospect, I should've stayed conservative and avoided the coinflip hand to maintain chip advantage over third place.

    Also unfortunately not lucky with the hands. Got pairs twice, and never had Ace+ high card. That left me folding most hands with assorted rags, which occasionally hit after I folded them.

    world keeps getting pocket pairs and flops.. usa seems to be losing based on rigged cards?

    Through 16 tournaments (including 6 PM), every tournament has filled up and out of 64 slots, only once has a player not been able to play. That's pretty impressive.

    I think there was only one substitution (poweray->pareto), too.

    you got a hole cam or are you referring to the few hands that go to a showdown? i wasnt getting pockets pairs... although i did hit a few flops *cough* hahaha but anyways

    which odds do you think are more correct/make more sense- -500 or -150.....if its -150 then you've justified the correction right there.

    I wonder why it's titled 5-handed No Limit Hold'em Tournament when it's really 4-handed.

    Highly entertaining match between crazyparlayking and BlaxOr. Well played by both. Poker gods seem to have a crush on Blax at the moment.

    Good game guys.
