The chips. The purple $100 chips were sponsored by the Caslavkas, and the black $250 chips were sponsored by Alyssa Bostwick, Pete Caslavka, and Wayne Rawley. M&R stands for Money & Run, Wayne's awesome action-adventure serial for the stage—Impact has produced five of the episodes so far.

Table D, early in the event. The guy pointing is Geoff, one of our excellent volunteer dealers. Across the table in denim is Casey Jackson, known to Impact fans as Iago, Banquo, and our original Run.

Table E, early in the event—Reimundo is dealing

Table A, early in the event—Cory is dealing, blinds still at $10-20. The guy in the shades went on to win the tournament. He was the only one in shades.

Table A, later in the tournament, blinds at $75-150. Jeff is dealing, and we've just eliminated the $10 blue chips and are switching them out for higher-value chips.

Table B, later in the tournament

Table F, late in the tournament—down to three tables, blinds now at $150-300

Table B, late in the tournament, blinds now at $200-400. Across the table is Christine, who owns Northstar Mortgage Group, which sponsored table A.

Table F, late in the tournament. Everyone was hanging on at this table, while players were starting to drop like flies at other tables. In the Berkeley jacket is Pete Caslavka, a former Impact member who was a chip sponsor and drove up from LA just to play in the tournament.

The final table, blinds now at $500-1,000. Jeff is dealing. Across the table are E.T., who finished fourth; Ragnar, who finished third; and Ellen, who finished second.

The final table. Van, the overwhelming chip leader, folded his way to the finish line at just past midnight.

WINNER! Van won the iPhone plus movie tickets and a Spenger's gift certificate.
