No-Limit Hold-Em Tournament (tentative dates proposed)

Hi All,

I always thought it'd be kinda cool to see a vendor do this, but since none have done it yet, why not Gnu-Tek?

So here's the deal. You enter the tournament with a $20 buy-in, winner-take-all. Potential prize(s) are as follows (available for any model Subaru):

-Megan Racing coilovers (track or street)
-set of Rotas
-set of Falken Azenis (popular sizes)
-set of Defi gauges with triple-pod
-Cobb Ap v.2
-Exedy Clutch
-Seibon carbon fiber trunk
(more options to come)

The winner of the tournament will be able to select their particular prize. Obviously, refreshments and all the items necessary will be provided.
Thanks for looking, and have a nice day.


EDIT:
To confirm your position on the list, please pm us your real name, as well as your choice for the date. Collection of the money will occur at meets over the course of the following weeks. Eventually, 2nd and 3rd place prizes may be offered as well if the tournament size deems it. The tournament will be at the shop in Concord.

Tentative DATE:

June 2 Saturday at 8p.m.

updated OFFICIAL LIST:
1. DemonPossessed (confirmed)
2. Ivegotthenuts
3. Jay784 (confirmed)
4. 07impreza
5. gunmtl (confirmed)
6. xqwizit (confirmed)

Count me in! Will there be secure parking? To a thief a bunch of nice Subaru's in one location would be prime target for something to happen. Perhaps first one out of the tournament becomes watch dog for the night? Or maybe I'll just take the bus there...

I love it, I'm in. Though I would ask the set up of the tournament to not have blinds move up too quickly and starting stacks be a little deeper so this isn't a luckfest. Thanks.


Also why not a 1st 2nd 3rd place? Winner takes all, again, involves too much luck. The 2nd and 3rd place winners can have smaller prizes.
