For now
Team Manager, Ekolod1

On march 13-14 team Potraiser visited the PAF/Sviten Springcruise with a team of 4 players.

Representing Potraiser in this tourney was Potit, Gnaget8888, verdict, and team manager Ekolod1.

Starting stacks were 15K, with 30 minute levels.
The tourney started out great for Ekolod1, who really dominated his table and was up to around 70K in level 5.
Also Gnaget8888 ha a good start, and took the lead at his table as well.

Potit and verdict had a difficult day on day 1 and never really got things working their way, but fought good untill the field was down to the last 45 players when they both got knocked out.

Ekolod1 finished day 1 with 38K in chips, after a rough last halfhour, and Gnaget8888 finished day 1 with 48K.
37 players survived day 1.

On day 2 Ekolod1 again started to build his stack up to 60K, when he lost a big 35K pot with KK against AK all in pre.
He then managed to build it up again, and the final table was approaching.

Gnaget8888 was playing solid poker all day, and building his stack slow and steady.
With 11 people left in the tourney the 2 Potraiser players were seated next to eachother on one of the remaining 2 tables playing 5 handed.

Both of the players had good chipstacks with around 140K, with an average of 85K, when the final table bubble bursted.
Unfortunately it was Ekolod1 who went out on the bubble in a monster 300K pot when he raised A 9 and got one caller.
The flop was 9 8 4, with 2 diamonds.
Ekolod1 elected to checkraise all-in on this flop and was called after about 4 minutes of deliberation time by his opponent holding QQ.

On the final table Gnaget8888 kept on playing solid poker, and was called by the gentleman who eventually won the tourney when he reraised all-in for 116K holding A 3 against the first raise of 32K from the mentioned gentleman who called with AJ that held up.

Gnaget8888 took down 6th place for a payout of €1200.
All in all a good performance by the team, and yet another final table for a Potraiser player.

The first event of the livetour was completed yesterday. Potraiser arranged a great structured tournament that gave plenty of room to maneuver, and resulted in some really good play.

Team Potraisers Pro Simba84 made a good effort but was eliminated in fourth place. Eventually the battle for the title came down to 2 local guys from Uppsala. After starting the heads up as a 2 to 1 underdog -ALER- defeated MrJanzzon to become our first Potraiser Live Champion.

Potraiser would really like to thank all praticipants, and hope to see you and some friends to our next event in Stockholm on the 20th of September.
