ByzHash saved by quads!

RTB takes down the tourney with KQ.

Final Standings

The top 20 places won a portion of the 5SBD prize pool. Here are the final standings from the tournament:

Player Bonus

The player bonus goes to the highest finishing player who upvoted each of the 3 official posts for the tournament (pick a day and time, pick the tournament, official announcement post). Even with a sixth place finish I was able to scoop up the extra 1SBD as the top finished who upvoted each of the three articles. I don't want to win this again without finishing first, so make sure to vote!

This 1SBD will fund an upcoming HORSE freeroll, which I am hosting weekly on Tuesdays at 2:00 PM CST. The prize pool is small, but this tournament is a lot of fun.

Upcoming You Pick It Tournaments

You Pick It tournaments are chosen and funded by you! The second tournament in this series will be held on 3/24 at 10:00 AM CST, and will be a 10,000 chip deep stack NLHE tournament. We are still building the prize pool (this article will go towards that prize pool) so please upvote.

Make sure to upvote the three official posts to qualify for the player bonus, and I hope to see you on 3/24 for You Pick It #2!
