I know you have to accomidate many different countries, but have to ask anyways. I am one of those people that work in sales and work on Saturdays, even Sundays some weeks. Have you looked at other potential days/times?

Its great that its still raising money for charity just a shame there couldnt be another 50 players involved.

Great work Earl:)

I know you have to accomidate many different countries, but have to ask anyways. I am one of those people that work in sales and work on Saturdays, even Sundays some weeks. Have you looked at other potential days/times?It's been changed around a few times and found out that this time seemed to grab the most players on a regular basis. I'm hoping to maybe get one going in the future for maybe cancer research or the likes on another site for another day . ;)

[skinski]

57 players yesterday, not to bad at all, wish we could get it up to a hundred , maybe next month

[skinski]

[DangerMouse]

Congrats on the win Skinski, well deserved.:cool:

[skinski]

Congrats on the win Skinski, well deserved.:cool:Thank you Danger . That particular win means a lot to me . :D

[skinski]

This months Charity Ball winner is fellow mod DangerMouse ! Grats on winning that shield , wear it with pride . :D

Btw folk , this game is now on the entire Merge Gaming network . That would be both Carbon and Nordica here at Poker.com . ;)

[DangerMouse]

Thanks, I`ve wanted that shield for ages, so I`m really pleased to finally get it. And I take it from the guy who organised the entire thing. Couldn`t have scripted it better if I`d tried :D

[Porkrind]

Ski,
Now that things have settled down on the homefront for me I will donate..... Oops I mean to say....... Crush and dominate all opposition in pure Helmuthian fashion.:D

[skinski]

Thanks, I`ve wanted that shield for ages, so I`m really pleased to finally get it. And I take it from the guy who organised the entire thing. Couldn`t have scripted it better if I`d tried :Dlol . Can't think off too many I'd want to see take it from me , you are one of them . Grats again .

We'll be looking forward to seeing you at next months game Pork . :cool:

[skinski]

41 players today and $82.00 raised . It seems the more we promote this game the fewer players we've got the last few months. I would have thought putting it across the entire Merge Network would have increased the player base , but it hasn't . Sad

Thanks to all that showed up and to those that promote the game ....

Today I pretty much lost it all with two hands, big slick was very unkind to me today, has been tho lately . Laughing

Mad4Cards won the game and got me on MSN. She transfered her winnings of $33 over to my account and that will be added to the charity as well . Thank you Mad !!

[skinski]

47 players today....$94.00 raised for Make a Wish.

[skinski]

Just thought I'd post that the last Charity Ball saw 64 players at the felt. It was good to see the numbers start climbing up. :)

What a final table ! I finished second and I think his name was "wassfudgie" beat me heads up fair and square ! The two times I pushed against him and he made the call he had me beat.

This week saw 52 players for $104 raised . Thanks for coming out folk, I truly enjoyed the game this evening.

[skinski]

A huge congrats goes out to DangerMouse for winning today's 5th Street Charity Ball. That's his second win at this tournament. I went out 14th when my bullets got called by a pair of jacks and they caught a jack on the flop to knock me out. Today's game saw 45 players and raised $90.00 for the Make a Wish Foundation. Good Game to all that played !

[DangerMouse]

Thanks Earl. As always it was an enjoyable game. Pretty pleased with the win as I was the short stack with 8 players left. My hands held up though and I was able to get back into it and take it down. Funny thing is I only made registration by 5 minutes.

Just wishing I`d played on a different skin so I`d have the shield twice :D

48 players today in the Charity Poker Event. $96.00 raised for the kids.
