[Mika Ollila]

For some reason it seems that Vegas has suspended the rakebackltd account that I was going to use as the bounty player. I'll try to get hold of their support to get this account registered to the tournament. If not successful, then other bounty will be designated.

[OAK100K]

i did manageto register yesterda an accout to vegas, i didnt have before.

i send twice mail to support to inform about late registration, no reply..

any info ?

pat

[OAK100K]

te poker king dint made the registation in time

[Mika Ollila]

For some reason our affiliate account rakebackltd still seems to be closed. Since support did not manage to get this account functional in time, the bounty player has been set to KEEPSITGOING.

Player who knocks out KEEPSITGOING will win the $100 bounty. Any prize money won by this account is added to the next Rakeback Community Tournament.

[Mika Ollila]

DRINK__BEER has won the $100 bounty by knocking out the bounty player KEEPSITGOING to 11th place. Congratulations!

[Mika Ollila]

The first player to drop out from the final table was MYLLYMIES in the biggest pot of the tournament so far. Although MYLLYMIES had only a handful of chips when he went all-in before flop with 10 9 he did have a monster open end straight and flush draw, but did not hit it.

DRINK__BEER collected the $10075 pot with higher two pairs than STINGERJOHN's eights and sevens.
