On the eve before “The Big Game”, One hundred sixty-nine players came to the Walpole VFW for the January $10,000 Monthly Championship prize pool. First timer Najib Ishaq, from Rhode Island, was playing in his first ever Monthly and WON! Najib joined the EPT back in late November and qualified for the Monthly by winning […]
Dear Players, I want to apologize for not being able to be at the Monthly today. As most of you know, I run an UTZ potato chip route six days a week. The owner of the route told me that he needed me to drive on Saturday morning NOT because of the Super Bowl on […]
When will the snow ever end? A storm this past Thursday, a storm tonight and an upcoming storm on Tuesday? We have just a couple more Monthly’s before we can get to our Season 34 Championship Finals Weekend! We are here at the Walpole VFW and by the end of the night, someone will become […]
We all know that Ronnie Smith, from the Central Mass. region, is the all-time wins leader with 259 wins. That’s almost 100 MORE than second place….. But, did you know, we have a race for second place? Jim Gardner and Rob Stiegman, both from the Central Mass. region are neck and neck for second place. […]
Dylan Major, from the Southern Mass. region, played in his third EPT Monthly today and outlasted one hundred seventy (170) others to win the December Championship! Today, the snow was not going to deter Dylan from making today’s event. This 19-year old who goes to Bristol Community College for finance as his “major” won his […]
Jhonny played well today. He knew when to pick his spots to eliminate his opponents. When he reached the Final Table, he was a force to be reckoned with. He knocked out the first couple of players and then on the final hand, he was eliminated. Jhonny had pocket Queen’s vs. Dylan’s pocket Aces! Jhonny […]
Blinds – 60,000/120,000 Players Remaining – 2 Ron “should” have been out just before the Top 16. But he was patient the ENTIRE way! So much that he ended up in 3rd. His pocket Queens were no match for Dylan’s pocket Aces! A queen AND an ace fall on the flop. Ron could not catch […]
Blinds – 60,000/120,000 Players Remaining: 3 The Eastern Poker Tour’s all-time winner Ronnie Smith fell just short of getting another win. He ran card dead for well over and hour and finally gets 8♠ 9♠ and Dylan Major showed pocket eights. No nine or spade for Ronnie. Ronnie too is “Double Stacked” for the Season […]
Blinds – 100,000/200,000 Players Remaining – 4 Youngbok also made a return to the Final Table after a long absence. He is tough/fierce player. He was knocked out by Ron Burke when Younbok’s 9♠ 10♠ was not better than Ron’s A♣ K♥
Blinds – 100,000/200,000 Players Remaining: 5 After a long absence, Paul Adams returned. He grinded …and grinded…and then went card dead on this Final Table. Jhonny eliminated him in 6th when Paul had K♦ 6♠ vs Jhonny’s A♣ J♦ A naked ace won and sent Paul to the rail. Good seeing you again sir!
