BPT Grand Final Coverage

We're a bit under six hours until the start of the Blogger Poker Tour Grand Final Event. Each of the seven tournaments in the second season of the Blogger Poker Tour have been about leaderboard points. Register, play, go as deep into the tournament as possible, to accumulate as many leaderboard points as possible (and as an added bonus, finish in the money and tap into the $500 prize pool for each tournament). Do more "away from the felt" to refer players, which racks up more leaderboard points.

And throughout this second season, 188 BPT participants managed to accumulate leaderboard points. The chase is over, we're down to 20 players - the top 20 on the BPT Leaderboard. Gone is the $500 prize pool; there's no more leaderboard points to be had. This is it, what we've all been playing for - the Grand Final - the Quest for the tourney seat in the Aussie Millions... 20 of the best players on the tour, and there can be only one.

Blogger Poker Tour Grand Final$30K in prizes, a trip to the Aussie Millions. The Blogger Poker Tour - only at Poker.com!.

---

Today there will be over $25,000 worth of prizes awarded as a result of this Grand Final Event and the Blogger Poker Tour.

Players finishing 16th-20th will get a "second chance" of sorts, as they'll be awarded a Grand Final Coupon, which is redeemable for a grand final tournament of one's choice at Poker.com - to compete for a seat in the Aussie Millions, WSOP, WPT.

11th through 15th place will receive a complete poker.com chipset and poker.com playing cards.

Breaking through the top ten, the fourth through tenth place finishers will receive a special edition 4 gig poker.com Ipod Nano.
BeerGuy note: I received this prize for my finish in season 1's BPT Grand Final --- sweet prize, I must say!

3rd place receives a custom built poker.com/blogger poker tour six foot poker table, made by Keystone Poker Tables, which by the looks of it seems to be right down the road from the BeerGuy (or at least in the same area code... hmmmmmmm...). The winner will also be given the option to customize certain aspects of the table.


Second place receives a custom built 8 foot poker.com/Blogger Poker Tour poker table, again custom built by Keystone Poker Tables. The winner will also be given the option to customize certain aspects of the table.

And of course the Grand Prize for the 1st place finisher of today's BPT Season 2 Grand Final will receive round trip airfare to Melbourne, Australia, a $10,000 seat in the Aussie Millions, which is being played at the Crown Casino. Hotel accomidations, $2500 spending money and a poker.com/BPT prize package also will be awarded to the Grand Final Champion.

It doesn't stop there, by the way... A second "major prize" will also be awarded today as well. The Blogger judged as providing the best coverage of this season’s Blogger Poker Tour will be flown to Melbourne, Australia, to cover the Aussie Millions main event on behalf of Poker.com. This winner will also enjoy all of the benefits and perks of being a member of the Poker.com team, with 8 nights accommodation in the Crown Towers Hotel, a private freeroll in the Crown Poker Room and invitations to official Poker.com parties and the Australian Open Tennis.

Best of luck to everyone. I'll be checking back throughout the day and remember... be gentle at the Grand Final... I am, after all, the new guy.

Pre-game Shoutouts

Before the Grand Final gets underway... I want to take a moment to acknowledge some BPT peeps...

Actually, to start out, I think it's appropriate to first acknowledge everyone who played in, participated in, and embraced this Second Season of the BPT. Lots of time and effort and blogging and poker playing has taken place during this second season, and I am proud to have been a member of the community with each of you. Here's to the BPT Community, may it continue to prosper!

Second, a huge Poker Pub toast to Shane, our Commissioner of the Blogger Poker Tour (beerguy note: I did not figure out how to spell Commissioner, nor did I use spell check, copy and paste when you're in the right place sometimes does wonders). Shane did a phenominal job of putting up with us, keeping the tour organized, compelling, and real, not to mention his 5am walk through, coffee in hand on tourney days. Without him and the rest of the poker.com crew, the BPT doesn't happen. Here's to Shane, his hard work, and dedication to making Season 2 a success!

Thirdly, not that I am trying to open up a wound... but I have to give it up to the bubble - Rahaboss. He was 3 points away from making the Grand Final. OhioMike - event seven winner (hosted by your's truly) ran the table and just barely beat him out for the final spot - just cracking the top 20. Here's to breaking the bubble next season!

If I mention Rahaboss, I have to also mention Quackpot. He didn't bubble, but he was 1 referral away from Grand Finaling... Each referral was worth 20 leaderboard points...

Here's to Grand Finalists - Skinski, Irongirl, imjusthere4thebeer (referral leader), Kufolem, ZowieZ, natsdad, JayNYC, EgonOlsen, and Pearlsnapman, who each made at least one referral to the BPT this season.

Additional shoutouts to Caroon (3 referrals), gohabs1234 (6 referrals!), bergeroo, Sexygirl (5 referrals), actyper (3 referrals), drawdeadcom (3 referrals), thepurdle (2 referrals), and all others who have made referrals to the Blogger Poker Tour this season. Here's to taking an active role in molding and growing our community!

Next, a shout out to the hosts of the Blogger Poker Tour this season. Thanks for working on the organizational and marketing end to make this tour happen!

And finally, to our Grand Finalists... Each and every person today will walk away a winner. Best of luck (and skill) to all. Here's to one hell of a Grand Final!

Stay tuned...


Personal Thanks

Geez, the "new guy" seems quite thankful today... and rightfully so, I guess... He's part of this great Blogger Poker Tour, has a great family, and a great support group in the stands today. So, a special thanks to the greatest kids in the world, Abby n Zack... and to the greatest support group that money cannot buy, the members of CheckRayz.

Also, a special thanks goes to Mitch for causing me to lose faith, when he sucked out on my hammer drop...

Good luck and see everyone at the Grand Final!
