Live Reporting
Day 1D registration is over, with 1E just getting started in level 2. We had a monster field of 146 entries in 1D, so we will have 9 players advance to day two, with 19 total getting paid. Players who cash in the event but do not advance to day two can play again, but do not qualify for the double bag bonus. Players who advance to day two can play again and they get $2,000 for every time they bag after the first, with the biggest stack advancing to day two.
We had 98 entries in Flight 1C, which gave us 13 players in the money and 6 players advancing to day two, including Anthony Mender bagging a monster stack of over a million chips. No doubt some of these players will be back to play another flight and take a shot at the $2,000 double bag bonus.
We have 9 more flights to go, with day two starting at 4pm on Monday, May 11th.
Registration is now closed for Day 1C, and open for Day 1D. Day 1C drew 98 players with 7 advancing to day two and positions 8-13 getting some cash for their trouble as they bust out today. The whole field for the morning flight is now in the money.
Registration for Day 1D will be open until approximately 8:50pm and Day 1E starts at 9pm. You can play tournaments all day at TCH! Value Town!
You can find more coverage of the Poker Atlas events at Texas Card House this week over at the Texas Card House Houston Blog. Our pal Kyle Miller is here doing a great job with coverage on the events from the TCH side and we love his updates.
Kyle knows the room, the players, and Texas poker in general, as well as anyone, and we're lucky to have his insight into the local scene as we work on our own coverage.
Here are the players and chip counts from Day 1B of our Valuetown™ Event. Remember, there is a $2,000 bonus for bagging twice!
We have the bags from Day 1A, which finished late last night. A number of other players cash and we will have fully updated cash amounts and bags soon.
David Shaw, hailing from Houston, Texas, has been part of the world of poker for the past 20 years. He started his career in home games and ended up in professional card rooms soon after. Known simply as "Shaw" among his peers, Shaw is currently focusing on the mid major Player of the Year race, channeling his extensive experience and skills honed over two decades in the game.
With more than a million and a half dollars in tournament winnings, most of them here in Texas, and the support of his partner Jessica Richards, Shaw is a serious force to be reckoned with in the Texas poker scene.
Jessica Richards, known affectionately as "Gorjess," is a well known figure in the Texas poker scene. Jess hails from Houston, and though she has only been serious about the game for five years, she has amassed more than half a million dollars in tournament winnings.
Richards journey into the game began after a decade of dealing and running a private home game. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she transitioned from dealing to playing, inspired by watching her partner, David Shaw, and poker streamers on Twitch. Richards' foray into online poker was successful, culminating in a major tournament win on PokerBros. Her live poker career took off when she secured her first WSOP Circuit ring in the Ladies Event in Choctaw.
A mother of three, Jessica balances her poker pursuits with her work at Chip Leader Coaching and managing a luxury balloon and event styling business, Ace Of Decor. Her most significant poker achievement to date is finishing third in the Champions Main Event, sharing the final table with David. Jessica credits poker with transforming her life, providing her with confidence, independence, and a supportive community.
All we know is that her bright smile and bubbly personality make here a favorite here at TCH and we look forward to seeing Jess light up a table every night! As you can see in the video, she's even smiling when the cards don't fall her way.
A great looking group today, with 87 entries already and late registration still open. We have two more flights today as well, a standard flight at 5pm and a turbo at 9pm. Both of the later flights should end by 1am.
