2009 is Dead! Long live 2010!

Well, many amazing things happened at Cake during 2009. And besides the amazing things, I joined as Cardroom Manager. Heh.

Seriously, it’s been an eventful year for us and we ended it with a bang, shipping over $50K to 1$ickDisea$e for taking down the $250K guarantee event this past Sunday. Here’s what the final table looked like when we got down to ten players:

The Final Table of the Final $250K Guarantee of the Final Year of the Decade

Then the railbirds did their thing: rooting for their favorites, booing their favorite villains, and moaning at the cruel defeats that no-limit hold’em always delivers. Me, I provided commentary and the occasional bad pun when somebody busted out.

Finally, we got down to RonnieBardah and 1$ick. Trailing in chips, Ronnie decided to jam with a very respectable pair of pocket deuces. But 1$ick woke up with an equally respectable AT. He said, “Sure, let’s flip for $20K.” Here’s the flop:

1$ickDisea$e hits an overcard, leaving Ronnie with two outs

Ronnie couldn’t hit his two-out miracle and 1$ickDisease took down $50,500 at the final flagship event of the “naughts”.

But it’s a new year and we’ve got big things planned for you. More tournaments, new software, new promotions, and a million reasons to play at Cake Poker.

We’ll see you at the tables.
