CONGRATS JOPLIN!!!!

FINALLY, Joplin wins a Border War!!!!  Joe Groce from Joplin and Leslie Thomas from Fayetteville were the last 2 players standing in Border Wars 9.  They agreed to chop up the money, taking home $750 each and play a final hand for the title and the PARTY.  Joe rivered a straight and took down the title.  Leslie had made an AMAZING come back to end up heads up.  When the blinds were 10k and 20k she had 4k in chips and was "ALL IN" in the blind.  She won the hand to triple up and was all in again with JJ which held up which was good for a quadruple up.  From there she was on auto pilot to heads up.  Joe on the other hand was a dominate force throughout the whole tournament, coming to the final table as one of the chip leaders.  He also won April's $50 bounty cracking her AA with Q 10, the flop was 10 10 5.  GREAT JOB LESLIE and JOE!  Here is a list of the rest of the final table and payouts.  Curtis Walbe NWARK $300, Glyn Moppin NWARK $200, Paul Chowning JOP $100, Buck Conway JOP $75, April Borup SGF $75 and last SGF player, Thomas Fenner NWARK $50, Tim Carpenter SGF $50, James Deer SGF $50. 

Also, the morning OMAHA tournament went much better than I expected.  We had 84 players and I'd say 75 had never played before.  But I think overall everyone had fun and some even left saying they liked it and would like to play again.  The final table at the Omaha tournament was POKER PUB packed with Victor Staelens from SGF winning over $600.  Laura Patterson (3rd) & Craig Thomas (4th) cashed from NWARK.  Jay Cote NWARK was the BUBBLE.  Kyle Glendenning (2nd), Joe Borup(5th), Cari Breckenridge (6th), Sandy Cheatum(7th), and Rick Gerard (8th) all cashed from SGF.  Brent Patton was 10th and the only player from Joplin to make the final table. 

All in all the day went well and I look forward to BORDER WAR 10.

Here is your chance to play with the pros and WIN $$$
wsop    
We are excited to announce our latest promotion! We are giving away seats to the World Series of Poker 2009 $1500 WSOP Buy In and travel package starting in June 2008! That's right, YOU now have a chance to WIN one of these GREAT NEW PRIZES  just by playing "NO ENTRY FEE ~ NO LIMIT TEXAS HOLD'EM" with The Poker Pub of SWMO!
We are starting our new WSOP Bracelet Event Buy qualifying the top 4 of each round nightly  Here is how it works:
 Players who make it to the final 4 of any session will  receive invitation cards, however, we will now be playing a qualifier every 4 to 6 weeks for the WSOP.  Each card a player gets will continue to be worth $100 chips in the qualifier event and the qualifier will continue to have 2 sessions. The change in structure will be the top 24 of each WSOP qualifier will get a card for the WSOP finals tournament.  The first invitation card will get a player into the WSOP qualifier and if they qualify more than once, the additional cards will be worth $500 chips each with no one being able to start the WSOP tournament with more than $1000 in extra chips. The WSOP tournament will be held the same way the TOC is currently run with 2 sessions playing down to the final 4.
  In addition to the final table of 8 @ the WSOP tournament, there will be one wild card seat.  The final table will be a 9 person event.  The wild card will be chosen from faithful poker pub supporters, ones who continuously support their bars and servers.  To qualify for the wild card seat, play 14 tournaments per week or for every $50 (not including tip) you spend on any night during poker you will receive an entry into a drawing to be the 9th player at the next WSOP tournament final table.  Give the tournament host a copy of your receipt to be entered.  The new structure is designed so no player will have a huge chip advantage over other players, reduce tournament field, and as always to have fun.     
 Finals tournaments  (times, dates & location in Joplin TBA) where the WINNER will receive a seat in a **WSOP  $1500 Buy In bracelet event at the 2009 WSOP  & lodging for two!  
**The 2009 WSOP event schedule has not been posted yet. Lodging will be for  2 people for 3 days & 2 nights. Payouts at WSOP events vary depending on the number of entries. Some restrictions apply.
GOOD LUCK to you all! Come out EVERY MONTH, earn your qualifying cards to these special events and take your shot at a chance to play with the Pros and WIN $$$!
