LymanWe got off to a great start with the 2008 Texas Hold'em tourney last evening.
A total of 26 vintage baseball card collectors participated in the shootout. Jason Barden (TheKidNYC) was the last player standing, riding into the sunset with the $130 top prize. Jeff Prizner (bicem20) took 2nd place honors and $78. Our own Brett Hardeman (BrettHardemn) walked away with 3rd and $52.
I will prepare and upload a more detailed post-game wrap-up to the Old Cardboard website in the next day or two at http://www.oldcardboard.com/misc/poker/2008/tourney01-results.asp. I will also update the Leaderboard for those who scored points toward the Old Cardboard bonus awards for the 2008 season.
Next tourney will be held Tuesday, February 26 at 7:30 Texas time (CST). The 2nd tournament (Old Cardboard #2) has now been set up with PokerStars as Tourney Number 74854086 (password for registration is e107e107). Early registration is encouraged to avoid any last minute misfires in registration or funding. Players can always "unregister" if a schedule conflict comes up.
Thanks again to all for making our first tourney a great time for everyone.

PS: Larry Ordet, sorry about the pocket 66's.
Edited to correct link; someday I'll learn to get it right the first time. LJH
