One February evening back in 1929, a group of seven well-dressed mobsters working under the leadership of gangster and bootlegger, "Bugs" Moran, were were lined up against a garage wall and machine-gunned to death. Their executioners were dressed like cops, so the victims thought they were being subjected to a routine bust and offered no resistance. In fact, the hit had been ordered by Alphonse "Scarface Al" Capone and went down in history as the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre.
More than 75 years later, the rough and tumble leaders of a gang of
degenerate poker players known as the 4SPT, Jeff "Complex Slim" Holsey
and Jennifer "The First Lady" McDonnell, have ordered another hit.
Staring at the wall this time are the Winter Season Points Leaders,
Kevin "Seattle Slew" Halstrom, Dino "The KCBP" Dinovitz, Vaughn "Vonnnn
Sannnndmannnn" Sandman, King Richard Baxter, and Susan "High Noon"
Firooz. Take them down and you won't be sorry.
The Details
The Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre will feature
This major tournament event will be held this Saturday, February
19th at Club Med. The tournament will start promptly at
Entry fee is $30 ($25 to main pot, $5 to Massacre the Saints). Payout will be determined once all fees are collected. Boasting the biggest pot in 4SPT history, this major tournament will have everyone gunning for the crown.
Massacre the Saints
$5 of your entry fee will go towards a special Winter Season headhunter's bounty
- Massacre the Saints. If you take any of the following players out of the
game, you will earn a percentage of the Headhunter pot (based on the number of
total players in the game):
- Seattle Slew - 45%
The KCBP - 20%*- Vonnnn Sannnndmannnn - 25%
- High Noon - 15%
- King Richard - 15%
*The KCBP has decided to go into hiding and won't be showing his face at the Massacre. So, we've redistributed the percentages to the other top 4.
Of course, if any of
them are tough enough to survive the Massacre, they will take home their own
bounty.
Club Med
Zak and his wife Nancy are generously opening up their home to a record SIX
tables – meaning that we can accommodate up to 50 players. You got pretty
spoiled last time you were at Club Med, and while it still promises the swankest
accommodations, this time it’s strictly BYOB and there won’t be any cake…
We will send directions via email once we've confirmed your seat in the game.

You must RSVP here in order to secure a seat in the Saint Valentine’s Day
Massacre. We want this to be our biggest tournament yet, so we encourage you to
