Thank you to everyone who came out to this event! It was a great time, lots of fun.

We definitely learned a lot about this, and I for one ws excited when Trent announced it as the "first annual"

Cant wait to see everyone at GenCon!

Yeah baby! Next year we'll do it again!

I'm looking forward to the Trent Tokens 2nd Annual Poker Tournament

Also, a big thank you to everyone who helped organize the event. Including those who volunteered to be dealers and could not play.

Thanks, see you at the next one!

As someone who admittedly knows very little about how to play Hold'em the bet escalation seemed to go quick and seemingly was set that way to shorten the tournament correct? Would it be possible to extend the time/slow pace of play next year/con? I understand it was so volunteers could play (appreciated it as i was build) but could someone talk to Lori and get an idea on shift times to see if better timing works? Ie. start a little earlier so it doesn't feel as rushed?

Thanks to Wade for being patient and correcting my mistakes of play.

Thanks! We're taking all of the info learned from this one and will apply it to the next one. See you then!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended the 1st Annual Trent Tokens Origins Poker Tournament. I think it was a fun time for all, so much so that we'll do it again next year. Stay tuned for that announcement, and I hope you can make it to that one if you missed this one.

And another big THANK YOU to The Falcon and Wade, who were instrumental in helping to organize everything. I appreciate everything you guys did, and of course thanks to our dealers and tournament director.

The winners of this year's tournament were:

1st Place - Gregory Griesenauer
2nd Place - Wade Schwendemann
3rd Place - Eric Garcia
Trentslayer Award - Henry Henwy
