Last week, 101 players showed up on game day for the Ultimate Poker Forum Open, the biggest Blogger Poker Tour tourney to date. Good old No Limit Texas Hold'em was the name of the game, which saw kufolem battle back and overcome Haley's massive chip lead.
4 events remain, and while it's still anyone's Blogger Poker Tour, the lead lap seems to be defining itself. Viezeman sits atop the leaderboard via 2 top 20 finishes and a launch bonus. brodoughno, perhaps the most consistant playa on the tour, with three top ten finishes sits in fourth place. Winners kufolem, and natsdad sit third and fifth respectively, while DawgRoyal, week two host sits in second place.
Today, we add a twist to the blogger poker tour. No longer are we playing NL Texas Hold'em. Omaha is the name of the game. Irongirl's Omaha A Go-Go is next and we're here live at the Poker Pub with complete coverage of Event Four of the Blogger Poker Tour Season Two.
As always, we'll be following the action of the Beer Guy, the hostess, and some of the top players of the BPT Leaderboard. For up to the minute and 100% accurate chip counts, feel free to pop in to the official tournament update page.
There's still plenty of time to register for today's event. With two hours remaining before we shuffle up n deal, we have 90 peeps registered. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we surpass last week's field.
Anyone wishing to become a member of the Blogger Poker Tour may register here. Must be a blogger and have a blog to join...
We'll be back shortly for live coverage.
