Tournaments were already shutting down then (Bay 101 Shooting Star had just ended in a multi-way chop so they could shut things down) and all that was left to come in were some straggler results of which there is exactly <em>one<\/em> big enough for me to report on and that&#8217;s from the Pacific Northwest\u2019s new #1, <strong>Seth Davies<\/strong>. Davies extended his lead over Scott Clements (which was only $13K on lifetime earnings for each of over $8.2M) by taking 2nd in the <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pokerdb.thehendonmob.com\/event.php?a=r&amp;n=669099\" target=\"_blank\">partyPoker MILLIONS $50K NLHE Sochi Super High Roller<\/a><\/strong>, an event with 31 entries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a lot of other people, the <strong>COVID-19 quarantine <\/strong>put a real hitch in my poker giddyup. I only had a little money left on <strong>Ignition<\/strong>, and ran it down with a bad streak of $2 Jackpot Sit-n-Gos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/2PokerGuys\/status\/1246160684938858501\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jonathan Levy <\/strong>and <strong>Grant Denison<\/strong> put together a deal with <strong>Nitrogen Sports<\/strong> (who&#8217;s been a sponsor of their podcasts) to recreate the currently-shuttered <strong>Portland Meadows Poker<\/strong> schedule. I missed the first Saturday noon game but did play Saturday night and Sunday noon, seeing a lot of the regulars like <strong>Jackie Burkhardt<\/strong>, <strong>Liz Tedder<\/strong>, and, of course, Meadows club owner <strong>Brian Sarchi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mutantpoker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fullsizeoutput_238e-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mutantpoker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fullsizeoutput_238e-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mutantpoker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fullsizeoutput_238e-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.mutantpoker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fullsizeoutput_238e-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.mutantpoker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fullsizeoutput_238e-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mutantpoker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fullsizeoutput_238e-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.mutantpoker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/fullsizeoutput_238e-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Did last night\u2019s freezeout and made it to 5th place as 2nd largest stack but got into a pissing match with the 3rd largest stack in a blind v blind battle and he rivered a flush after we were all in, so I still haven&#8217;t cashed one of those. I&#8217;ve had a bit more luck playing 0.0.1\/0.02mB to 0.05\/0.1mB PLO there (roughly $0.07\/0.14 to $0.35\/0.70 blinds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I&#8217;ve had the chance to play three tournaments on <strong>America\u2019s Cardroom<\/strong>, inclufding one PLO and a 7-Card Stud Hi-Lo tournament. Who knew it would take the end of the world to finally get me into a Stud\/8 game? Almost played one of those \u201corganized on <strong>PokerStars Home games<\/strong> with play money but \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcthis guy\u2019 is collecting real money though Venmo and will pay the cashers\u201d games because it was HORSE, but something came up, I didn&#8217;t make the money transfer, and the whole PokerStars system apparently went down that night while they were 90 minutes in. So, a win for me, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay safe and wash your hands!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had already written part of this post when I got the news about the passing of Calvin Nithikhun Sr., known by a lot of us in the Portland poker community as Twitch.
