2009 Season is Off and Running

The 2009 season is off and running, as 9 events have been held, and we've had 8 different winners. Last year's regular-season champ Jason Vida is the only player with multiple wins on the season, but he's in 3rd place in the current standings. Harry Dang is on top, and newcomer Gregg Found is in 2nd after one event played in. Found also had a big win with the Kamalakin Makin progressive jackpot. After Edge won $8 in the first event of the year, it took us until the 8th event to have another winner. Found took down $51 with his Kamalakin elimination...

Next event is the Kenton Wong Farewell tournament, and keep an eye out for 2009's first major on April 12th - The Tradition. $45 buy in for that, and the pot is already up to $67.

And of course, the all-important Bonanza Jackpot has already crossed the $200 threshold -- we're at $201 and still a week left in February. Last year, for the season, the Bonanza ended at $712!!

Good stuff so far this year, that's for sure!

Brief standings are to the left, but expanded standings are right here for all to enjoy:
