UPDATES:

POLCER TRIUMPHANT:
Ben Polcer of New Orleans, LA won the title after a
deal was constructed between the final five plaeyrs.
Marshall White and Charles Johnson both earned
$44,120. Richard Connart won over $38k and Russell
Boyette over $32k.
Last Woman Sitting Jaymie Virtusio (you might notice
a pattern this week) won $15.6k.
Great to see David Champion, Angela Monroe, David
Aker, Greg Gough, Donnie Phan, Chase Tuner, Wade
Smith, Cody Stanford, Stanislav Angelov, Jerry
Giroir, June Jenkins, Salvador "Buddy" Villaluz, and
Jason Bergeron make deep runs too.
With almost half a million in the prize pool there
was a lot of money to go around. 147 players cashed
after Bag Bonuses and multi-bags were calibrated.
Donnie Phan became the first player to ever bag four
times. Phan won the 4 Bag Freeroll which gave
him an entry in every single event in the series.
Results to follow below.
LADIES NIGHT:
Good night for the ladies as Melissa Smith won the
Sunday Sizzler for over $14k and Lisa Roberts the
ladies event for over $4k.
Roberts in the Ladies event bested a final table
that included Briggite Thomas, Arlene Berghold,
Kimberly Crawford and Kerri Rumble who all cashed.
Over in the Sizzler Melissa Smith bested Barry Usery
in short heads up play.
Usery won over $9k for second place.

GCP TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP:
YOUSSEF ALY WINS THE TITLE:
Youssef after a long chop negotiation took
the title in the inaugral GCP Tour Championship.
In a field populated only by top finishers, Aly was
the ultimate top finisher, winning the trophy, the
Marker's Mark, the WPT World Championship seat and
the one of a kind GCP Tour Championship trophy.
He also won $17,206 cash to go with the $10,400
seat.
Jaime Kizer and Chico Pho, like Youssef both from
Tennesse, also earned $23,205 for second and third
place. Bryne Wilson of Birmingham made over 10k for
fourth. Edward Staples won $7602 for fifth.
Brenda Eskridge finished as the last woman sitting
winning almost 6k for seventh.
Matt Higgins, Joshua Heinze, and Susan Murphey
rounded out the final nine making the stream.

GCP
NEWS:
BACK TO BALLY'S
If you missed our December tournament because you
were busy at the Wynn with the WPT World
Championship, there is no excuse to miss our return
there April 11th - 17th. Partnering with Southern
Poker and Bally's this stop has a very Texas theme.
Don't miss their signature Texas Stack event, the
Sheriff's Bounty and the opening Roundup. Always a
lot of fun visiting the good people at the top of
the boot and those of ya'll just over the border in
Texas and Arkansas. Here's an early look at the
schedule.
SOCIAL MEDIA FREEBIES:
Don't miss out social media giveaways currently
running on our Facebook page. The first for our
Pearl River event is awarding TWO $600 seats into
our WPT World Championship satellite.
All you have to do is guess the total number of
players in our GCP Tour Championship. Don't go over.
The first social media contest for Bally's is giving
away THREE seats to three different winners: they
include a $350 Sheriff's Bounty seat and two $250
Round-up seats. Talk about easy to win this contest
only has 14 entries in it as of this writing. That's
like a 1 in 4 shot. Can you cut and paste a
meme or a photo? Then you got what it takes to win.
Get it in there!
Pssst, coming soon... The second social media
contest giveaway for both tournaments and spoiler
alert it's a big one AND the same one with the
winner earning a shot to play a big one in BOTH
series. Stayed tuned to GCP for more information.
NEW PODCAST:
Should drop this weekend. After a little roundtable
discussion with Gene D, Wild Bill and Ben Saxton we
featured a recorded interview Ben did with the late
Pat McNamara. Pat, a New Orleans poker reg, shared
stories about his career in Hollywood, working with
Spielberg, and his love for poker.
ROOMS ALMOST GONE:
If you are planning to come to Pearl River Resorts
you better book now. We are essentially out of our
best deal in poker deals, and are now directing
players to contact Pearl River Resorts directly to
book a room. Make sure you get the poker tournament
rate (if there are any rooms still left in that
bloc).
If you can't get a room at the resort, we recommend
the Best Western Plus (breakfast included) just down
the street. Here's
Tripadvisor's rooms and rates.

SPECIAL PODCAST:
Look for a special podcast to be uploaded soon. It
is the interview Ben Saxton did with Patrick
McNamara a recreational tournament and cash player
from New Orleans who recently passed.
We will miss Pat. The actor and director who worked
with Stephen Speilberg and Richard Dreyfus also
worked with some idiots at GCP on some of our silly
videos. We will miss his jokes, friendship and
mentorship.
HARRAHS NEW ORLEANS:
Tournaments are back. After a brief hiatus the
weekly tournaments have resumed at Harrahs, New
Orleans.
That means every Monday and Wednesday at 6pm and
Saturday at 11am.
Then once a month, the first Saturday of every
month, the Gladiator returns. On that Saturday, the
$500 NLHE deep structured Gladiator
will take over the 11am slot and the $200 Saturday
will be pushed back to 2pm.

Eleven players split the
loot in the final tournament of the Million Dollar
Heater. Each won $3,346. One player did not report.
No slouches in this group including Mark Davis, Adam
Cotant, and possibly the player of the series
Brittany Rodriquez who cashed four tournaments.
FINAL THANK YOUS:
Big thank you to Adam Nash, Mary Cracchiolo Spain
and all the staff at the Beau Rivage. Also to the
the hardest working tournament staff and dealers in
the business.
This past week brought long hours, unexpected
challenges, and a ton of great tournaments and
results. And most importantly, thank you to all the
players who packed into the Million Dollar Heater
creating some amazing prize pools.
