Red Hot Poker Tour

Tournament of Champions was held on April 1st, 2006.
An amazing event in downtown Toronto, which saw Daniel Negreanu be our host for the final table or the speaker system. TV camera on top of the table so we could watch all the action from anywhere in the bar and some of the most crazy hands in poker history!
Well maybe not history but Daniel said he had never seen a final table with so many bad beats after the flop.

The Final hand of the night that crowned our winner "Jimmy" was a shocker.
With the blinds at 6000/12000 and each player dead even with around 300,000 in chips (Jimmy had a bit more then James), it was all about limping in or saying all in...which is a unique strategy considering the amount of chips in play, and with the blinds so low (compared to stakes).

The button was on James, so he calls the 6000 and Jimmy checks the big blind. The flop comes 5 9 Q all dimonds...a dangerous flop if I ever saw one....Jimmy checks....and James says All IN! wow....what does he have? Nut flush? Set? ....

Jimmy says CALL! and stands up quickly throwing over his Set of 5's! James throws over Pocket Aces!!@!@! He limped with pockets to set a trap and the Jimmy set a trap after flopping the set by checking...amazing shit.

The turn comes an 8 and the river comes a King...Jimmy is our champ and has a seat at Daniel Negreanu's protege table.
