Report From The Bay 101
Live blog & photos from the 2008 Bay 101
Tournament hopes and dreams of cashing in on the $1
million first place prize for the poker league crew
vanished at the end of day one of the main event. The
scene at the Bay 101 is a great experience, and
definitely the most fan-friendly stop on the World Poker
Tour that we have seen.
CONGRATS TO LARRY CULHANE!
Larry Culhane
from Lincoln was one of the 10
big winners in the Gold Rush
Championship.
He won a $3,000
package to play in a World Poker
Tour preliminary event at the
Bay 101 on March 9th.
Check out the video
montage we put together from the
championship!

What
a vacation, what a tournament! Brook
(pictured left-photo by Ryan Koffler) was
along to support state champions Ryan Koffler
(Dakota Poker League) and and Greg Anderson
(Minnesota Poker League)
in their effort, but ended up having the
tournament of his life!
Ryan Koffler busted
on day 1 making a bold move and enjoyed the
rest of his vacation in the Bahamas, enjoying
the beach, water slides, and of course taking
down various sit-n-go's in the poker room.
Greg Anderson took a bad beat and was
unable to survive.
