January 14, 2005

The second full night of the Oregon Poker Tour was also the second time the OPT had gone to Grounded Coffee Shop in Walbridge for the game. This night would reach OPT history as the first game would be the largest game the OPT had ever held.

OPT Game #:
4
Players:
38
Payouts:

1st - $91.00
2nd - $12.00
3rd - $6.00
4th - $3.00

That's not a mistake: 38 players paid $3.00 at a chance to win over $90. This would eaily volt whoever won to the top of the OPT Leaderboard. Who would do so?

Fourth Place ($3.00)
Third Place ($6.00)
Second Place ($12.00)
Adam Bloomfield
Mike Schiewer
Teresa Wagner

Winner ($91.00)

Instead of someone volting to the top of the OPT Leaderboard, Emily extended her lead over everybody else, having won the largest game in OPT history one week after winning the largest regular OPT game to date the week before.

But the OPT was far from finished for the night, as now 24 players stuck around to try their luck again.

OPT Game #:
5
Players:
24
Payouts:

1st - $58.00
2nd - $9.00
3rd - $3.00

It's odd to think that the OPT lost 14 players between games, and it still was a large game.
