Stay Away From Stars

During Liar’s Dice, there were 241 people that came to play. They liked the new rule of there being only 45 minutes to play one round so that people could get to bed at an early hour instead of a late one.

After the opening ceremony, the first player out happened a few minutes later and was given the goodbye song. After all the games were finished, there were 42 winners that moved on to the semifinals with 6 tables of 7 players each.

After the opening ceremony, the first player out happened a few minutes later and was given the goodbye song. After all the games were finished, there were 42 winners that moved on to the semifinals with 6 tables of 7 players each.

In semifinal #1 Doug Galullo defeated Teresa Moore, Steve LeWinter, Sage, Mathew Wilde, Shane German, Connor Masterson and Richard M Shay in Semi #1.

In the second semifinal, John Coussis took out Tom Robinson, Michael Dauer, Erica Kirchner, David Buchholz, Hennessy Gorham and Edward Lihler.

Semifinal #3 saw Haakon Monsen, Noah Engelmann, Philip Shea, Jonathan Cookin, Henry Allen and Kevin Collins defeated by Jessica Brown.

In the fourth semifinal Robb Effinger sent Grant LaDue, Charlotte Paravda, Missy Youells, Lola Davidson, Lynda Shea and Mark Love packing.

The fifth semifinal saw the GM’s dad, Bruce Reiff, beat Mat Thomsen, Nicole Yuhase, Susan Cornett, Ashley Worley, Bruno Wolff and Dave Rynkowski.

In the last semi Nico Parauda sent Andrew Emerick, Sean McCulloch, Bruce Garnett, Blair Morgan, Kelly Czyryca, and Lex Jackson to bed early.

These finalists were Jessica Brown, John Coussis, Ross Effinger, Nico Parauda, Bruce Reiff, and Doug Galullo. For the first bid of the finals, it was an overbid at eleven 3’s and then went to twelve 2’s. John Coussis was heard saying, “Whatever gets me to bed faster” and then proceeded to bid fourteen fours and won the challenge. The first person out was Nico Parauda who lost all 5 of his dice to the call he made. When Bruce Reiff made his bid, Doug Galullo asked “Did you even look at your dice” and Bruce said yes. As the bid went to Ross Effinger, it was the same bid he was planning and he didn’t know what to do. When it went to John Coussis, he said to himself, “Why did I win my game?” In fifth place was Bruce Reiff who called on stars when he didn’t have any but everyone else had at least one star. Next out, in fourth place, was Doug Galullo who lost all his dice with a star bid also. Going out in third place was Jessica Brown who lost 3 dice on a star bid with none. Bruce started to sign Oh Canada when John kept complaining that he wanted to go to bed before the next person went out. Finishing in second place was Ross Effinger who lost his 3 dice when also lied on a star bid. That left John Coussis as the champion without ever bidding stars in the finals and finally getting to go to bed. In fact, due to the new 45 time limit, the entire tournament was over by 1am!
