I thought it was great. It was good to talk to all the NLOP people and hear what’s coming. I hope this continues and hope to win a seat next year.

Enjoyed the tournament. Was a good time even though I had hoped to get to the final 10 (finished 12). Appreciated the time and effort that went into the tournament. The food and drink were also appreciated. Hard Rock provided my wife with a little slot machine profit so that was nice. Mike Sexton proved that he is a professional with his actions and announcing. I will try to make it again next year. Maybe they should invite all first year qualifiers back and make it a 200 person tournament. Hope NLOP grows and just gets better.

LET ME FIRST START BY THANKING NLOP, YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB, MY ONLY ISSUE WAS THAT I WISH THE PAYOUT WAS A LITTLE MORE EVENLY SPREAD BUT NEVERTHELESS I HAD A GREAT TIME AND ENJOYED THE TOURNMENT. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SO I CAN GET ANOTHER CHANCE, AND CASHOUT IN 1ST PLACE. I TRIED TO PLAY VERY HARD AND WAS TOUGH TO MAKE MY WAY BACK IN CHIPS, I GOT AS LOW AS 3,000 CHIPS WHEN THE BLINDS WERE 1K AND 2K I WENT ALLIN AND TO MY SURPRISE EVERYONE FOLDED WHICH GAVE ME SOME LIFE. FEW HANDS LATER I DID IT AGAIN AND SAME RESULT, IT WASN’T UNTIL I WENT ALLIN THE 3RD TIME AND GOT CALLED AND DOUBLED MY STACK. AND FROM THERE I MADE MY WAY TO THE FINAL 3. THE PLAYERS PLAYED REALLY GOOD TO MY SURPRISE IN THIS TOURNMENT KUDOS TO YOU ALL ON YOUR PLAY. THANKS AGAIN NLOP.

I thought the tournament was well organized from start to finish.
NLOP staff made a conscious effort to talk to, and more importantly, listen to all who were there, before, during and after the tournament. We were given the chance to meet people we normally only chat with. They provided food and drinks at their expense in an after hours party. They gave us the opportunity to win up to 20,000 in cash…..And lets not forget all this was FREE from an internet poker sight. So thanks NLOP, for a job well done on your first live championship. Our host Mike Sexton was fantastic. I enjoyed all the players there. The competition was intense. Everyone who i had the chance to play against were very good players, very little junk play. This was by far the toughest tournament i have ever been in. And was profesionaly put together. I look forward to next years championship and meeting all who are there.

I agree with pokerstud, what was disorganized? They said at 12:15 we start, and thats what happened. The Hard Rock is awesome!! Definetly the place to be in Vegas right now. NLOP was great as were their people. Was suprised at how many people did not understand the house rules and had no live poker experience. Yes I plan to win another seat and attend again next year.

I am shocked that you guys would take this area to moan and groan about the cards you received and bad beats.

How about the guy that came in that finished 2nd? He was rivered with the ace after having HuckFuzz all in. That was a difference of $15,000…….yes a $15,000 swing.

And you guys are complaining about one simple bad beat.

This was a phenomenal opportunity to play for FREE with a chance to win $30,000 in prizes. I had never been to the Hard Rock and was totally treated excellent, played in a super poker room and had an open bar party.

Hello?????????? Who is complaining?

I thought it was a great experience and a great place to play at. I will definately be trying to win another seat again next year. Hope I get cards that dont get beat on a the river. Had a bad beat on a ace,king in my hand and the flop was ace,king, jack. And get beat by a river jack for half of my chips. Everything just went downhill from there. But played for about 4 to 5 hours first before going out. Plan on winning next year, you can count on me for that!!

I thought the tournament was a little disorganized. You guys set up the times for check in and etc. Why couldn’t you keep things on schedule? Otherwise, enjoyed the tournament.
