Action was roaring early at the final table as the table broke down the to final 3 players rather quickly! With chips being traded between the three players (The General, Ryan Todt and Eric Desouza) seemingly every other hand, the three players came to an agreement and locked up $5,250 each as they played for the rest! With The General’s elimination, heads up play continued between Todt and Desouza until ultimately the champion was crowned🏆🏆 Erik de Souza took home “the bel

With a DOUBLE ELIMINATION during the last hand of play on DAY 1A, 35 players returned spread across four tables as they played on in hopes of capturing the $10,000 1st place prize and ultimate glory of being crowned tournament champion! As the “Bubble Burst” quickly into the day we had a lot of ”local legends” finish just shy of the final table but still ITM! A few names include “Captain” Jack Colon ($400), Chris “Slice” Paolino ($460) and returning champion Kevin Milas ($660

Jeff Krause is still alive with a healthy stack as the tournament just broke the 40 player mark! A “local legend” of his own, Krause has seen success both on the live and virtual felts. Consistency is the key to his game as he makes deep run after deep run in many tournaments (finishing just shy of the final table last BBC&C 2 Day $250, but made the money). When asked about his greatest poker accomplishment Krause said, without a doubt, it was becoming roommates with Adam Jo

-These are currently the TOP TEN chip stacks for Day 1B listed below in order from greatest to least.

Table #800 (featured above) houses F

Mike Hinkle found a nice spot for an early “chip up” as he battled the Button (B) from the Small Blind (SB) in a heads up hand. At the 300/600 level action folded around to the Button who decided to make a raise to 1,500. The Big Blind (BB) was away from the table during the start of the hand, leaving 600 “dead money” in the middle and only Hinkle left to act from the Small Blind (SB). He laid the call. FLOP: Q♥️5♥️2♠️ Hinkle decided to lead with a “check” over to B who decid

Most seasoned tournament players will tell you that, in between the joyous moments of victory, often times tournaments can be truly gut-wrenching! There is no better way to sum it up then to say you need to "try and try again." There's a lot of factors at play! Luck, timing, knowledge of the game, math, psychology, adjusting on the fly to fit certain situations and opponents... the list of "to-do's" is endless! And if everything aligns you may just get lucky enough to find yo

As the clock struck noon, cards hit the air as players continue to vigorously fill the tournament area on their quest to find a Day 2 bag and a chance at a $10,000 top prize!

Knowing when to step on the gas and when to hit the brakes in poker is an acquired skill that takes practice and patience to master. Experience really pays off for Dennis Rainville in a hand where he displays how good defense can, often times, prove to be the best offense! Dennis R: A♣ J♣ Middle Position (M.P.): K♣ 10♠ Small Blind (SB): XX Big Blind (BB): XX At the 2500/5000/5000 level Dennis R. decides to come in for a call UTG+1. Action folds around to a player in Middle Po

Featured left to right are a few locally known players who are still in the hunt! Alan Abbott, Keith "Romo" Romanovitz, Ashford Cooper, Peter Dunn and Lori Gleason.

An action packed hand landed in Mark Martin’s (Keene, NH) favor as he more than tripled up! The hand played like so... With blinds at the 600/1200/1200 level Martin and two players to his left decided to “smooth call” the blinds. Small Blind folded and the Big Blind opted to check their option. UTG+1: 6♦️6♠️ Martin: Q❤️9❤️ Middle Position (MP): XX Big Blind (BB): K♣️J♦️ As if it were scripted the K❤️J♠️6❤️ flop brought MAJOR action. Both BB and UTG+1 decided to check their mo
