Star City CelebPoker GP: $40

The £100,000 guaranteed first place Stanley Star City Casino CelebPoker Grand Prix is a £1,000 No Limit Freezeout tournament taking place in Birmingham on the 7th and 8th September 2005.

Today I won an entry, on my first attempt, into the last $370 online final at CelebPoker on 28th August by finishing 6/122 in a satellite. I now have a 10% chance of playing in the Star City £1,000 GP since 1 in 10 will win a $3.5 package in the final. I would like it to be 100% of course! So, if I don't qualify in 2 week's time feel free to send the King of Poker your sponsorship proposals ;)


$40 Sat Results

Still at CelebPoker, I later finished 4/337 in the $500 freeroll. Usually when I am multitabling cash games, I have one or two freerolls running just for fun and to let off steam when I get a bad beat in ring play. Doing well in them is just a bonus.


Freeroll Results

Also today, I played two sats for the WPT Legends of Poker Tournament (Doyle Brunson's next tournament appearance as reigning champ):

In the $22 WPT Celebrity Shootout tournament at Hollywood Poker I finished just outside the top 100 out of 448 when a steal attempt with A5o from the CO committed me against 88 on the flop when I paired my kicker.

In the Coral/Eurobet $50 Legends of Poker satellite I finished 23/96. My all-in steal attempt with 98s was called by K4o and I didn't get lucky.

Finally, signing off on a good note, I got my first Round 3 ticket for the current promo at Bugsys Club. About time too! ;)

Winning the Star City GP next month would give me the bankroll to go for my goals (DaTreble) of winning an EPT event, a WPT event and a WSOP bracelet. Otherwise I can keep dreaming! lol
