Operation Dib Dib Dib - FAO of Kayroo

Flushdraw

As many of you know, tonight we ran a private tournament on Pokerstars in aid of the scouts. Kayroo was looking for a fundraiser so we set-up a $20 STT on stars and we had 28 takers. Because people were giving up their time, the small rule we put in place was that the people that finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd could keep $40 and ship the rest back.

Thr prize pool was $560, minus the $120 leaves $440 for the Kayroo project. I also received a very generous donation of $150 from Semibluff, so the total raised was $590.

The €€€ equivalent to this is €445.

Trippie offered to use his account for the transfer of funds so everyone who cashes is shipping the cash across to his account and, on behalf of the lads on the poker forum, he'll give Kayroo the money raised next time he sees him.

The tournament started at 8.30 irish tim tonight and is still going on as we speak. It started with the following 28 players..

White Knight, Oleras, KevK, Damo72, ArmaniJeanss, ocallagh, Hoki, Smoothcall, 5starpool, Trippie, Gillybean72, Strewelpeter, Jayminator, Killme00, Macspower, Digiman, tmck?, Cooker3, Flushdraw, Lazare, Rx8, TommyGunne, ElectraBlue, BigCityBanker, Smurph, Conbro, Roadsweeper, HectorJelly

Myself and Gillian sent Pms to over 100 boardsies. We will have missed a lot of people, so apologies for anyone that would have liked to contribute but didnt get a chance to play. If anyone would still like to contribute, you can transfer $20 to Trippie01 on stars and that will go towards a good cause and help to give some disadvantaged kids a chance to continue with the scouts.

Thanks to ocallagh for originally suggesting the idea. Thanks to Gillybean72 for expanding the idea and taking it further, and for also sending out PMs and helping with the while organising of the event. Thanks to Trippie for allowing us to use his account for holding funds, and thanks to all the guys at boards for taking part.

We started the final table about 9.30 and its still ongoing. The FT looked like this so if anyone wants to rail teh conclusion, its tournie ID 158239591

ArmaniJeanss

5th, my AK no match for AQ aipf, one of the basic rules of Stars these days.
Flopped a set early against RoadSweeper but never got to do a slowroll :mad:

Great fun.

ArmaniJeanss

Tony, I cannot believe ye went to all this trouble. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it.

One thing though, Trippie: you are a degenerate degenerate man.

As a Scout leader I spend a lot of time around people who regularly volunteer as a matter of course but every time I think I've seen the limit of people's ability to look beyond their own needs and help others I am surprised again and again.

Thank you all so much.

Fair play to everyone that cashed for sending the full amount to the holding account. wp lads, very generous.

Thats $710 including Donals $150 so we have €534 and if we get $20 from Doc, we are now up to €550

Gillybean72

Great result! Thanks everyone for the support.

I've received all the cash now i only have to stay away from the plo tables long enough to withdraw it. Im going to hold onto the cash for a day or so in case anyone else wants to donate the 20 quid. If you do its Trippie01 on stars to send it to.


cheers again

BigCityBanker
