@famososMuertos

I just realized that I have single handedly kicked out all the players from your gifs. Has it ever happened? Just shows what a night I had. Biggest luck for sure in that hand when I had 44 and got straight.

See you all on losers table, if you dare 

I'll be there and I can't wait to kick your ass man...


@SteamTyme I have updated the sheet - thank you very much for your help.

@Hhampuz Will you be so kind and do the raffle when you get to that?

Ticket count is not up2date if I'm right.

This sunday will be fun, hopefully I'm sunrunning like Trofo yesterday. Just watch the bustout gifs from last night!

[Steamtyme]

@SteamTyme I have updated the sheet - thank you very much for your help.

No worries glad to help when I could. I did realize though that I F'd up the lovely formatting that would have auto populated the prizes and what not but i will just drop the info here and everyone can comb over it and cross reference the sheet to see if I f'd up.

We have 121 entries that paid and played - 121*400 = 48,400
Add in the 11 donations                           -   11*400 =  4,400

Total being                                               48,400+4,400= 52,800

Divide that up by 2 and you have    -    26,400 for the lottery, and 26,400 Added to the Finale prizepool. If I remember correctly.  Meaning there will be 3 prizes available for the Lottery @ 8,800 Chips a piece.
   

Good luck all, and "May the odds be ever in your favor"

Mate, you were unstoppable yesterday. I've played all the games in our series, and I don't remember something like this ever happened. Great performance, and well deserved victory in the end. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart! 

Overall, I have an impression that it was the most action packed tournament in all our series so far.

GG, everyone! GG, indeed!

[1r0n1c]

wow Trofo, good Job yesterday, that was very impressive!!

@ efialitis: I can´t remember that we had a runners-up finale in the past, is it the first one?
The 10k chips are sponsored by SwC?

I sucked this series so hard, but I´m very happy to be able to play that "losers" tournament next Sunday
Thanks again to everyone who is involved in the organisation, especially to you efialtis!!!

Do you already know when series #5 is going to start? It literally became something like a traditional habit to my Sunday evenings.
I love you all guys  <3

[Trofo]

Thank you mate, the stars really aligned themselves for me yesterday.

We had runners up finale in 1st, 3rd and 4th (this) series. In first series it was played on different day and in this last two series it is played at the same time as finale. Only second series was without runners up tournament.

[tyKiwanuka]

The rankings after 8/8 tournaments. Gratz to everyone who made it into the Grand Final



For this series, we have two special awards given out by a jury that consists of just me:

Most Improved Player

This award goes to jayce/NoobHere You really had great results this series and this is no fluke as the results especially in the last 3 tourneys show. You also won your first tournament ever and jumped quite some places in the Money Finishes list. Well done

Most Valuable Player

This award goes to efialtis/youcantwin Without you, this series wouldn't be possible, but this is not the only reason you get this award. You get it, because you add so much fun to this series with your big mouth....Grand Final missed again, although you were a lock for this right from the start. I think without a wildcard you will never get there


I have also updated the stat sheets, where everyone can have a look, if interested. We still have two players (morvillz7z & Betwrong), who never missed a tournament, thats stamina and dedication Betwrong now has a little cushion on Obaming in point finishes, who himself is leading the pack in money finishes. Murat still has the best average finishing position and I doubt any of the regular players can take his place in the future, unless he decides to join a tournament again in the future


@Steamtyme

I have slightly different numbers for the lottery (or the updated sheet has).

123 entries and 12 donations (you missed the one from @Hhampuz yesterday), which leads to these numbers:



1670 tickets were given out in total (440 via points, 1230 via just entering tournaments), and these are the numbers for all the players:

Improved: #0001 - #0114
Iv4n: #0115 - #0236
jayce:  #0237 - #0358
arallmuus: #0359 - #0476
Betwrong: #0477 - #0592
seek3r: #0593 - #0694
morvillz7z: #0695 - #0803
bitmutiny: #0804 - #0880
kolloh: #0881 - #0975
SteamTyme: #0976 - #1068
webtricks: #1069 - #1168
efialtis: #1169 - #1244
Hhampuz: #1245 - #1330
1r0n1c: #1331 - #1415
Globb0: #1416 - #1508
famososMuertos: #1509 - #1559
Trofo: #1560 - 1639
figmentofmyass: #1640 - #1650
yahoo62278: #1651 - #1670

Please everyone check your numbers and see if everything is correct.

If @Hhampuz is ok with handing the draw over and everyone else has nothing against it, I thought it would be cool, if @Globb0 could do the lottery draw live in his stream, maybe shortly before the Grand Final next Sunday. Only of course, if you are fine with taking this huge responsibility as well Globb0


Good luck to all players for the Finals and see you maybe for a 5th series in the future

That'd be great! If Globb0 wants to do it I'm happy with it and will for sure tune in

[jayce]

I think he hates everyone lol, he has been knocking everyone out so far. Globb0, webtricks, pitkins , Betwrong, Mollok, Bitmutiny, Me and you . Jayce is the only one left and the only player that managed to survive all those all in heads up against Trofo. Everyone lose against Trofo in all in showdown

I had pocket J and Trofo had pocket 4, turned out he had a straight. Can you even imagine that to happen? I was smiling when I know that he only had pocket 4 and this could be my chance to double up because I am in favor to win but yeah he is lucky

If this is a bounty knockout tournament, he would be getting alot of bounties so far for knocking everyone out. So far he had knocked out 9 people, 8 from the final table

Edit : Jayce down , Trofo knocked him out. Congratulations Trofo

Yeah that moment between you and Trofo was the most shocking one in the game. Congrats Trofo, you was a beast yesterday lol.

nice job taking down the last qualifier, @Trofo. great performance in this series by @jayce too, racking up those cashes.

i'm bummed that i missed yet another week with you guys. i was all geared up to play this weekend (was gonna play some sunday guarantees too and throw on @Globb0's stream in the background) but then another last minute work call came in. i've just now touched down ~1000 miles from home.

i hope SwC hooks us up with another series because i totally shit the bed on this one.

Thanks foma! I have a great luck in this series Yeah I hope there will be a next series and see you and tyK on the table again.

Thanks tyK! Hope to see you and foma back in next series ) Tbh I'm trying to follow your playing style mixed with Webendo by webtricks lol as we were often playing on same table in the previous series. And of course your trivia is always interesting to read. So you deserve Most Intelligent Player

[iv4n]

Awesome! This will be a great intro for the final and runners-up game!

Congrats man! You had a good run in this series, I wish you luck in the final game!
I agree that tyK deserves a special award, and that can easily be Most Intelligent Player!

Good luck to all players for the Finals and see you maybe for a 5th series in the future

Good luck to you too! I really hope we will have 5th series!!!

[Globb0]

Yes I will be up for that (with a bit of help as to the how)

Also I think why not start the stream a bit earlier maybe 1 hour before the 2 finals.

We can play some marbles, draw the lottery and run through some stats and graphics and things from Famosos Muertos

Will be awesome.

Ill be working on some more special content as usual to keep it fresh and fun.


Good luck everyone (who stole my finals place!)



*edit* PS I hope you got your gran signed up to my twitch Efialtis    *

*edit edit* I commit there will be another series and or some other single games

[tyKiwanuka]

Yes I will be up for that (with a bit of help as to the how)

Cool

Hhampuz was using random.org for series 3 and you might want to use that one too. Just put min 1 and max 1670 and start to generate:


Source: https://www.random.org/

In this example seek3r would have won (congratulations ) and all his other tickets are voided afterwards (#0593 - #0694). So if you generate f.e. 611 next, you check the ticket numbers list and would have to generate a new number for 2nd prize, until a non-void number shows up. You need 3 non-void numbers in total as there are 3 prizes.

[Globb0]

OK then thanks for that instructions.

I will propose to draw the lottery 30 mins before the start of the big games. OK?

[kolloh]

Good idea, watching the drawing on stream will be more exciting!

[efialtis]

Finalists have been registered:

wow Trofo, good Job yesterday, that was very impressive!!

@ efialitis: I can´t remember that we had a runners-up finale in the past, is it the first one?
The 10k chips are sponsored by SwC?

Do you already know when series #5 is going to start? It literally became something like a traditional habit to my Sunday evenings.
I love you all guys  <3

I think except for one time, we have always had a runners-up finale and yes, the 10k chips are generously sponsored by SwC.

Regarding #5 --> I will post updates in our general poker discussion thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5217547.0 (whose OP still needs to be edited/updated, LOL)

[tyKiwanuka]

I will propose to draw the lottery 30 mins before the start of the big games. OK?

Yes, sure, though I am not involved, so don't really have a say. But if you see no one opposing this idea, just do it at that time, I will watch


Here are the prizes I calculated on top of the BIG BTC ticket, hope this is correct.

The Chips Prizes for Grand Final

Place	Sponsored by SwC	From Chips Pool
______	___________________	___________________
1	25,000	13,500
2	15,000	8,100
3	10,000	5,400

The prizes for small final will be 5,000/3,000/2,000 for the Top3 as always.

When everything is said and done (and sent^^) 237,000 chips were paid out in total in this series.

Series 1: 310,000
Series 2: 224,000
Series 3: 257,600

15.38 players joined the tournaments on average in this series. We "lost" four regular players (figmentofmyass, SyGambler, BitcoinGirlClub, myself) from the series before and two new (seek3r, famososMuertos) joined for this series. I might give my comeback for a possible 5th series and figment too I guess. That would make it around ~19 regular players, which is a good number to get two tables full every Sunday.

I am not really sure if I would want you to join us - betrayal, bad manners towards me... Tough call...

[jayce]

Congrats man! You had a good run in this series, I wish you luck in the final game!
I agree that tyK deserves a special award, and that can easily be Most Intelligent Player!

Good luck for you too mate and everyone Would love to watch the lottery drawing from globb0 as well

[figmentofmyass]

tbh, i'd rather donate the 0.0028 BTC i overpaid in fees to a one off or monthly forum game like Globb0 wants to organize:

Im also thinking of running a bigger 1 off free roll or low stakes forum game, perhaps monthly?

I also had a mind about a few prizes but that is the type of tbc stuff.

Might depend if people are prepared to chip in for or donate prizes.

given the value SwC is adding to the series championship, i think it'll go further there. hopefully none of the finalists mind!

[bitmutiny]

Yay I made it!
