Tournament #7 is in the books and it was our biggest one of the season.  We had the maximum 30 players for the first time.  Kevin H decided he didn't like crowds and exited first for the second tourney in a row.  We didn't lose another player for almost another hour until Scott C left in round four.  The pace certainly picked up as we lost four more before the end of the fourth round.  Mike S earned 4 bonus points when he sucked out  against me busted me out in 12 place.  The hitman of the night was certainly Will M who had an incredible 8 knockouts.  Jerry T had the misfortune of being this weeks bubble boy going out in 7th with Will's help.  Matt F was able to hold on to sixth place and pick up some cash.  Mike S was next to go in fifth followed by newcomer Blake M who finished fourth.  Amazingly that gave Will his fourth consecutive knockout and an amazing chip lead.

Will got three handed with Darlene J and Jeff J with virtually all the chips.  At one point Darlene was down to 500 and Jeff had about 1500 in chips and they were both all in against Will who had the remaining 43,000 chips.  Darlene went home in third and Jeff was able to double up and stay alive.  With a 10:1 deficit in chips when they got heads up Jeff basically made two plays, fold or all-in.  In the most amazing come back I've seen in our league. Jeff managed to avoid Will when he had big hands and tangle with him when he didn't.  After about 15 minutes of heads up Jeff completed the miracle come back and knocked Will out  Congratulations to Jeff on his second win of the season.  Of course as the current chip leader and previous winner both bounties will be on Jeff's head next time.

Well tournament number 6 is in the books and it was my personal favorite so far.  We had 28 players this week including 26 league members.  Kevin H was the first to go, heck I think the Ravens were still winning when Linda K busted him out.  The first of the special bounties was awarded to Don G when he took both Darlene J and Gary R out on the same hand.  Don earned the extra 2 points for taking out Gary the points leader coming into the week.  Tom J went out in eighth place as his pocket kings were cracked not once but twice in back to back hands.  Karen D got the bonus points for taking out Tom.  Matt F followed Tom out the door busting out in seventh and earning this weeks distinction as the bubble boy. Adam B made the money by finishing sixth followed by Kevin C's first tournament cash this season with his fifth place finish.  We played four handed for about 20 minutes before we finally lost Jeff J in fourth.  Jerry T soon followed in third leaving just Karen D and myself.  After seeing Karen repeatedly suck out with the worst hand all night I was a little nervous playing her heads up.  Luckily the good karma from the Steeler's awesome come from behind win stuck with me and I was able to win my first tournament of the season.

With this week's win I am also now the points leader meaning I will have both bounties on my head next time.  The next tournament is the 29th of January, hope to see everyone then.

Happy New Year to everyone.  Sorry for the slow posting on the results but the holidays and year end at work got in the way.  Tournament number five is in the books and it was another good one.  We had 28 players including a few first timers.  I almost managed to be the first player out two weeks in a row when first timer Simo H managed to cripple me early.  I had 9,9 and managed to get all of his chips in while he had A,7.  I was looking great when the flop brought a third 9 for me and an ace for Simo.  Unfortunately the board also brought an 8,6,10 so that Simo backed into a straight leaving me with only about 200 in chips.  Fortunately for me Christina M must have had some last minute shopping she remembered about because she decided to be the first to leave.  Mike S took her out and that started to turn into the theme for the night.  Mike took out 5 of the first 11 players of the night. 

Dave M ended up being the bubble boy for the night busting out in 7th place.  Jeff J took the last paying spot finishing sixth followed by the nights hitman Mike S.  Mat K was next to go followed by Dominic D.  Tom J and I had a great heads up match that lasted over 30 minutes.  The tournament finally ended when I got pocket aces and managed to beat Tom's pocket 10's.  Oh wait, Tom's picture is at the top not mine you say?  That can't be right unless of course he sucked out and caught his ten on the board and finished me by cracking my aces.  And of course that is exactly what happened.  Congratulations to Tom on his win.  Tom will have the extra bounty on him next tournament as well as Gary who continues to be the points leader.  The next game is January 15th, hope to see everyone there.
