The Bounty Snatcher - Friday the 13th Style Results

2009-03-14T01:00:00.000-07:00

We had a total of 32 entries for our second Bounty Snatcher tournament.

The secret Friday the 13th Bounty was drawn and as it turned out it was the 13th person that signed up for the tournament (very freaky since the draw was 100% random by table-seat then we looked up to see who was in that table-seat).

The players continued to dwindle as the special bounty still lived on until there were 13 players remaining and then the special bounty was slain and one lucky player received the $160 special bounty.

The Sanctum of the Sixth was equal to five players (32/6 rounded down) and when we hit that point in the tournament the bounties paid were in the quantities of 10, 10, 7, 3, and 2.

There were four spots in the money, the player with 3 bounties went out 5th, followed by the two players that held 10 bounties each, with the 2 bounty holder finsishing second and first went to the Troy H with his 7 bounties.

Congratulations to all the Bounty Snatchers and especially to Troy H for his win!

side note:

We are currently looking at possibly doing another Bounty Snatcher on June 12th which is in conjunction with the AVP Meet happening on June 13th (AVP is AllVegasPoker.com)

The Bounty Snatcher returns in Friday the 13th Style!

2009-02-02T12:53:00.000-08:00

Not only was $1,200 given away during a great game but Paul M. from Seminole, FL started a hand holding the Q and J of Diamonds with three-way action preflop. There was a bet, a raise, and a reraise in the preflop action!

The flop came out A, K, 10 of Diamonds giving Paul the Royal Flush and he managed to get one caller on his all in action!

They turned their cards and the table erupted with a roar when they saw his Royal!

Paul then got the big surprise when they all told him he just won $5,000! He thought it was maybe $500 or a $1,000.

Congratulations to Paul on the big win!

(The Diamond Royal Flush had not been hit since September 5, 2008.)

Club Royal Flush hit for $4,958!

2009-01-02T15:08:00.000-08:00

The New Year starts off with a BIG BANG as a local, regular player finally hits a High Hand Jackpot and hits it BIG!!

Congratulations to Dave S. aka The OD aka Scrappy Dave from North Las Vegas, NV for hitting the Club Royal Flush.

It was one of those days, those days where I knew something was going to hit....

When I arrived for work this morning I see Dave sitting in the nine-seat of the $1/$3 No-Limit game that went all night and as I walk by him I say something like, "Now that you've stayed all night why don't you take down one of those Royals!"

Then about 30 minutes later when more daytime staff showed up I made the comment that "a Royal is getting hit today" - I could feel it coming (of course I also track everything there is to track so I knew statistically that we were way behind on Royal Flush hits which showed in that we have one at $5,000 and another ready to cap out at $5,000 so it was more than just a feeling).

We had just started doing the green color up for the 2pm tournament when I hear Dave yelling, "CHRIS! COME HERE!" so as I walk over to the table I can see two of the three Club Royal cards on the flop and the third one on the river and he is standing up all excited. He had moved all in on the river and was telling the guy who was contemplating a call that he had it, there was no poker face at all.

The other player involved in the hand could not tell if it was just theatrics or for real so he called and was then shown the two remaining cards for the Royal Flush!

Again congratulations Dave, you've certainly started this new year out with alot of gusto!

So who will take down the $5,000 Diamond Royal Flush?

It could be YOU!

Hot Summer Cash - Weekly Winner # 6

2008-08-08T23:00:00.000-07:00

Hot Summer Cash - Weekly Winner # 6

Lightning does strike twice!!!

David Lundy, our first $5,000 winner from Week # 3, came back to Vegas to collect his $5,000, hung around and played some more poker. Had more than 15 hours last week and was here for the drawing last Friday but did not win.

He kept on playing, hit two Quads, collecting 20 tickets before he had to leave early Saturday morning. Before he left he made the comment that he figured out how to win... he just had to leave.

Well it worked because to the dismay of all the players present David Lundy wins again!

Because he could not get 15 hours of play in before he had to leave he will only win $2,500 this time, but I am sure he'll be back soon to collect it.

Congratulations again David Lunday from Dallas Texas!

RICHARDSON, TX

is the winner for our 3rd Drawing and
is our FIRST $5,000 WINNER!

David has over 30 hours play in the week before the drawing, including an 18-hour monster session the day before he left.

I was able to talk to him on the phone to let him know he had won and he said, "Thanks again Chris. Your phone call was a Terrific Ending to a very long day of being stuck in two different airports and 11 hours to get back home to Dallas. "

He'll be making a return trip to Vegas to collect the $5,000 and perhaps you'll see across the tables again!

Congratulations David!

Follow Up:

Dave came back this week to collect his $5,000 and hung around a few extra days hoping to hit lighting twice.

Hot Summer Cash - Weekly Winner # 2

Hot Summer Cash - Weekly Winner # 2

is Alaina L from Hershey, PA

Seen here sporting her $2,500 prize

Alaina and her husband decided to check out the local burger joint
instead of being in the poker room at the time of the drawing.
Rumor has it that he just about fainted when they came in Saturday
morning to get into a game and asked who won last night.

Congratulations Alaina!

Hot Summer Cash - Weekly Winner # 1

2008-07-04T23:00:00.000-07:00

We had our first weekly drawing and Mark S. from Tamarac, FL is the winner!

- FOLLOW UP -

Saturday morning, Mark came to the poker room to get into a game and asked for a reprint of his Players Club card. Michelle recognized his name as the winner of the drawing and happily notified him that he won $2,500 last night.

He was very surprised and happy as it added to the joy of the reason why he was in town, which was for his son's wedding that took place Saturday afternoon.

Congratulations Mark on being our first weekly drawing winner!

Spades Royal Flush hit for $5,000

2008-06-19T21:48:00.000-07:00

Albert J from San Diego wasted no time
in taking down the Spade Royal Flush
that just hit the $5,000 cap a few days earlier!

Congratulations Albert!

Clubs Royal Flush Hit for $5,000

2008-06-14T02:40:00.000-07:00

Lighting does strike twice!

Actually it struck more than twice... details after the picture.

Feliciano is a regular around the TI Poker Room and in the early hours of Saturday, June 14, 2008 those hours spent in the room paid off in the way of the Clubs Royal Flush, which had not been hit since January of this year, and it paid off in the amount of $5,000!
Congratulations Feliciano!

This is on table #2, seat # 5, which interestingly enough adds up to lucky number 7!

Before Feliciano took that seat there was a lady, Robyn, that hit a Quads jackpot for $100, then about one hour later hit another Quads jackpot for $100, then a short time later she called it a night.

Feliciano sits down and shortly after that hits the Clubs Royal Flush for $5,000 and then on the VERY NEXT HAND hits a Quads jackpot for another $100 and then also vacates the seat in a little bit.

The seat is still hot and another player had been in it for only a short amount of time when he too hit Quads for $100.

In a span of about 4.5 hours Table 2, Seat 5, had four Quads and a Royal Flush!

Hearts Royal Flush Hit for $3,181

2008-06-13T02:20:00.000-07:00

It was about 2:20am when Justin looked at his hole cards to see the Ace of Hearts and Jack of Hearts.

The flop contained two more of the cards needed for the Hearts Royal Flush, they were the Queen and Ten of Hearts.

Then, as I am sure his heart was pounding, the river produced the King of Hearts and a windfall of $3,181!

This was no Friday the 13th for Justin!

Congratulations on the hand and jackpot!

Royal Hold'em & No River Hold'em starting July 1st

2008-06-11T07:39:00.000-07:00

Royal Hold'em
Royal Hold'em is played with a 20-card deck using only the Aces through Tens, 2-6 players, and is otherwise a standard Texas Hold'em game with each player being dealt 2 cards with 5 community cards on the board.

The game is fun, fast-paced, and you'll never see two bad cards!

No River Hold'em
Do you like a game that is more strategic and are you tired of getting beaten on the river? Then No River Hold'em is for you! The game is played similar to Texas Hold'em, using a full 52-card deck but each player is dealt 3 cards, then there is the standard 3-card flop and a turn and then there is No River!

The game offers a fast paced, exciting, and highly strategic gaming experience.

The games will be offered in Limit (starting at $3 & $6) and No Limit (starting at $1 & $3 Blinds) versions and on Tuesday mornings at 11:00 a.m. we will have a Royal Hold'em tournament (Limit format).

The Revolution Has Begun!

Poker Room Hours

2008-06-11T07:16:00.000-07:00

There has been some incorrect information floating around the various poker room news sites, blogs, discussion groups, etc.

To answer your questions about the room's closing time:

The TI Poker Room stays open until there are no games, and this is where the misinformation has come in. During the week we will typically go down to no games between 5am and 7am. During the weekends we typically do not lose a game and thus are open 24 hours.

This is 100% dependant upon you - we have staff in place to continue the games 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year!

Please feel free to call us at any time at 702.894.7291 if you have any questions.

TI's First Bad Beat Jackpot

2008-05-19T16:55:00.000-07:00

I was in my office, getting ready to leave for the day, when I heard "JACKPOT!" slight pause, "JACKPOT!", another slight pause, then with even more enthusiasm, "BAD BEAT JACKPOT!"

The commotion is coming from table # 3, in the front of the room - the table with the big "window" rail. It is a No Limit game.

It turns out a player had just sat down with his $300 buy-in and on his first hand he gets dealt a pair of sixes.

There is considerable preflop action (I am not privy to all the information but there was four-way action preflop with about $70 each in the pot).

The flop comes down:
3 of Diamonds - 4 of Clubs - 6 of Spades

The new player has flopped three sixes but unknown to him the player to his right has flopped a straight and holds the 5 and 7 of Diamonds.

The turn is a the 4 of Diamonds! The new player now has a Full House, Sixes full of Fours! He moves all in and gets called by the player to his right who flopped a straight and has turned a Straight Flush draw!

Sure enough the river is the 6 of Diamonds! The new player is excited he has Quads, shows them and the dealer yells "Jackpot!".

The player to his right immediately shows his hand and is even more excited as he shows the 7-High Straight Flush and the dealer yells "JACKPOT!" and realizes there is now a qualifying bad beat and yells "BAD BEAT JACKPOT!"

The new player received $500 for having a qualifying losing hand AND $100 for having Quads - so he got all in for $300 on his first hand, lost and still came out of the hand with $600!

The player to his right took down a monster pot of $800+, $250 for having the winning hand in a Bad Beat jackpot, and $250 for his Straight Flush!

There were six other players at the table and they each received $100 just for being there!

One new player to the game had just sat down and missed that hand, but it's a good thing for everyone else or that hand would not have gone down the way it did!

Congratulations to everyone!

Cash Jackpots

2008-03-06T17:46:00.000-08:00

Great news for cash jackpots!

Cash jackpots being paid from a promotional pool that is funded by players is now considered a wagering pool by the IRS.

What does this mean for you?

When you hit a cash jackpot at the TI that is $600 or more you will receive a W2-G instead of a 1099-M as it is now considered gambling winnings. This means you have the ability to counter your jackpot wins with gambling losses!

When you receive 1099-M's it is treated as income and you are not able to deduct gambling losses.

So come on down to the TI and hit those Quads, Straight Flushes, and Royal Flushes and don't forget that from 4am to 11am in N/L games ($1/$3 and up) and Limit games ($4 & $8 and up) the Quads are worth $200 each and Straight Flushes are worth $500 each!!!

New Carpet

2008-03-05T06:48:00.000-08:00

We have been open just under two years (April 12th will be our 2nd anniversary) but today, March 5th, they are installing new carpet!

The original carpet was getting torn up real quick around the seams and it showed stains real bad. Hopefully the new carpet will hold up a little better! It will be interesting to see how it looks in the room; it is so hard to pick carpet based upon a 2"x2" blotch.

UPDATE - The new carpet looks very nice! Everyone has said nothing but good things about it.
