Organization of Vietnamese Professionals

We had a great time Saturday night. We had two full tables with 18 players. It was nice to see several new players come out. We played for about 2.5 hours and then broke for hamburgers and hotdogs. Thanks to Bach, Phong, Charles and John for cooking those burgers and dogs. Hey John Dinh, lesson learned: If you get knocked out early, you get stuck with the cooking so don't get knocked out John :). 1st place went to Jimmy "Luckbox" Vo. Jimmy couldn't lose and could have played any two cards blind and still win. He tortured his opponents by sucking out on them. Runner runner flush, A6 vs A2 and he pairs the 2…I could go on. Even my AK of hearts couldn't compete with his offsuit Jack 10. However, Jimmy played well and had such a big lead that no one could catch up. Nice job Jimmy!!!! 2nd place went to Lan Nguyen. Lan always makes the final table but this is her first time cashing. 3rd place went to Tri "the Killer" Phan. Tri also finally cashed for the first time. Nice job to Lan and Tri. Vincent Vo was once again the bubble boy. He played so well but the cards didn't cooperate. Eventually Vincent will cash. It might take 10 more tries but I know he'll be able to do it. Nguyen Luu tried to defend his title but got knocked by yours truly. (Hey Nguyen, next time I raise, don't move all in on me unless you have AA :) ). Finally, thanks to Dave Ngo for hosting. He was a great host and everyone had a fantastic time. I am headed to Atlantic City for the Borgata Open so I am not quite sure when I'll host the next tourney. If anyone wants to host a poker tournament in the next couple of months, let me know. Until then, Bob
