SOLD OUT: Not only is this New York Main Event league SOLD OUT, but the last signup was our debut Main Event overall champion, Artie Rastelli. It's been a while since we've seen Artie at the live events, but he's continued to play the Main Event Online and wants that second overall title. Could Artie win it all and bookcase these two overall champions?

I've never met Artie, so I look forward to meeting him on the 18th. I'll see all of you there.

Now we HAVE to fill up the Sunday Main because we have $5,000 worth of food and beverages paid for already. Let's make this a three-day event and have some fun on Sunday. If you have any interest at all, drop me an email or a text and we'll take care of you. I mean, Tom and I can't each and drink that much alone, so c'mon, how about PLAYING TWO this weekend and joining us on Sunday? Thanks all and good luck.

Okay, we're not giving up on Sunday's events in New York City without a fight. We're doing our best to get one or two live events on Sunday in NYC, so if you have any interest at all please reach out to Tom or myself. I see a glimmer of hope ahead and it would be great to have three solid days of live events on the East Coast.

Okay, here's the updated lists for the 10 am Main and the 2 pm Auction Championship. Let me know if you'd like to join us in the City for one more day of fun at Dave & Busters:
