And it's over! After just 2 hours and 20 minutes long tournament with over 50 people playing and fighting for the first prize we now have our first steemit poker tournament winner at http://www.bluffave.com/steemit. He earned 80 SBD, some WhaleShares and my admiration! Well played! And also thank you @tuck-fheman for the realization of the idea!
It was expected that professional poker players will take the final table into their own hands.
Those are the last 2 minutes of the tourney. A lot of all-ins were there and as you can see, @brnofre was really short-stacked. He then had some lucky cards and won the whole tournament!
My journey through the tournament was very weird. For me the tournament started in the early morning and I was very tired. I don't know how, but I slept through the first 20 minutes of the tournament. I was even more tired after I woke up to play. My stack was down 20% and it was time for some all-ins, as the blinds were already big. I was lucky to survive so long and end on 12th place. JK suited was just not enough and @travelersmemoire destroyed my dreams of the final table.
This is why I was calling you to play too too. Poker is not only about skill, but also about luck. You could probably even try to always all-in all your cards. Maybe you would get into the final table with this strategy! :)
WhaleShares tokens were an addded prizes from me for busting me out of the tournament, winning the tournament or being second. Those tokens can increase your post payout, your post visibility on steemit and in the long-term, your reputation.

@travelersmemoire busted me out of the tournament as I had no luck in the all-in with him. He won 10 WhaleShares that I used to upvote a post that he wanted me to upvote.
Already 100SBD guaranteed.
