I think he meant that the maximum bet was $50,000.

Although seeing as you've put $1,000,000 on Spuff 'can someone remind me how to stand up again' Waffle, he'll probably take the easy money.

DanK returns to his blackboard very sheepishley

Minimum bet $50,000

Maximum bet $50,000

I will however honour MrBricks bet.

DanK walks to the streets realising he has made a stupid error

I will not be taking bets on myself anymore. I win, I get prize money, yet have to pay out. I lose, I get no prize money, yet have to pay it. Lose Lose for me!

Still taking bets on all other players though!

Ladies and gentlemen,

All 4 games have played! They were quite intense matches!

The following 4 people are through to Round 3:
Paul_Trabotti (LV)
Hogan (NY)
SpuffWaffle (CH)
DanK(CH)

Round 3 :
Paul_Trabotti vs Hogan.
SpuffWaffle vs DanK.

Even though round 2 hasn't officially ended yet, the players should feel free to continue at their convenience.
Just make sure you've played your match before 2nd of August midnight.

Good luck guys.

Ps. Everyone who lost in Round 2 will be paid out 1,250,000 momentarily for ending in 5th place.

I would like to publicly thank Karma-Couture for organizing and running this event.   Although the tournament is not over, my time, unfortunately in the tournament is.  Karma you did a fantastic job, organizing the pools, replacing contenders who were unresponsive and making the tournament just an overall success.   I sincerely hope that there is another one, and when there is you can bet Ill be gunning for that 1st place prize!!

Thank you very much Turtleneck! Thats really kind of you!
In the future there will definitely be a follow up on this event.
Hopefully next time it won't take people by suprise why the backrow is shuffled, haha.

I'm still waiting anxiously to hear back from our 4 remaining players.... The last 2 rounds I expect will be very intense.
It's ok though, they've till the 2nd of August... I'm just being impatient...

Karma my good lass, you really must learn to calm thyself and let us play at our leisure. Chess is not a game to be rushed and flailed at. Unlike your coital experiences no doubt. I kid of course, I only kid, I didn't mean to imply that you'd ever bumped the proverbial uglies.

Anyway, moving swiftly on, you'll be happy to know that DanK and I have just finished our matchup, and I fortunately just about scraped my way though.

Turning to DanK, he shakes his hand heartily.

You played well lad, and I wish you all the best in your third place playoff. I'm sure that I'm just as eager as yourself to see who that'll be up against.

Good to hear you are making progress, SpuffWaffle. I've got a lot of money riding on you.

Heh, you may as well kiss it goodbye Alabama. Been pure luck that's gotten me this far. Well, luck and drugging the opposition. You know what they say though, all's fair in love and random chess.

I am glad, Spuffwaffle, that so far your progress has been unhindered. I am looking forward to making a tidy profit from that schmuck of a bookmaker. It will add nicely to the funds I gained from selling you those A-grade roofies. I trust you put them to good use.

wakes up after several days of a drug induced sleep...

Not fair SpuffWaffle, not fair.

Was a tough game SpuffWaffle. I never got into it. A mixture of a hangove and severe diarrhea meant it was always going to be an uncomfortable game for me. But well done though, and even though I will lose A LOT if you win *Glares at MrBrick* it will be brilliant for Chicago if we manage to get 1st and 3rd!

Ayame creeps into the room where next matches will be hold, a big bag on her back. Looks around if she's not seen by anyone... All seems to be clear. Ok the, lets start working.

Grabs a chair and pushes it towards one of te walls. Climbs on it, steps back and gets some white thing from the bag, it looks like a bedsheet. Damn it is a bedsheet, but somethng is on it. She grabs a hammer and some nails and climbs up the chair again. Softly she nails the bedsheet to the wall, one nail on every corner and some in the middle of each side.

The she steps back and looks at her work. She smiles, she is satisfied. On the sheet is something written. It says:

Hogan for champion, he's the best in playing chest.

She gathers all her stuff and leaves the room again.....

Basti Artadi screamed like a little girl for the police...


GO HOGAN!!! HULKAMANIA RULES!!!

Heres to SpuffWaffle stomping out the hopes and dreams of HULKAMANI. 

CHICAGO RULES!

Ayame grins......

it seems my support helps Hogan.

Fingers crossed for next round.... I hope they will let the sheet on the wall untill the championship ends

DanK returns to the streets with his blackboard

This is it people! Hogan (NY) managed to beat Paul_Trabotti (LV) in Round 3!
Which makes Hogan the other finalist besides SpuffWaffle (CH).

DanK and Paul_Trabotti were not messing about after their losses and directly set up a time and date to play for 3th and 4th place.
Congratulations go to Paul_Trabotti (LV) who managed to win from DanK (CH)! But really, also congratulations are in order for DanK who became 4th out of 24 other people.
This is an awesome result!

Second place will go home with $6,000,000 and 3 CD's!

Goodluck Hogan and SpuffWaffle!
