One year ago, six players gathered at the house of Co-founder Tim Dugan, sat around the dining room table, and played the first ever OPT Real Money Poker Tournament. Randy Tunsion, Jerry Pickering, Cory Stevenson, Ray Welch, Luke Shortridge, and Tim Dugan played in the first OPT Tournament. Since then, the OPT has grown into a community of 63 people, and the list keeps getting larger. One year later, eighteen players arrived at the place it all started for a night of poker action.

The Winner ($39.00):
Stephen Howard |
* Red indicated busted on same hand |
Stephen "Stringy" Howard won his second game, having busted only one person out of the entire 18 person tournament.
The second tournament of the OPT Anniversary night was the largest non-major tournament the OPT had ever seen . . . and probably the most people ever in Dugan's house at any one time. Twenty-two players paid $2.50 to play in this poker tournament. With over $40 going to the winner, who would use this huge tournament to make a push up the OPT Leaderboard?
