2012 - 2013 Tournament #3

Third tournament of the season is in the books and it was another good one.  We had 28 players include a couple of first timers.  Bob D made it to his first game of the year and left after about 45 minutes when Karen D made him the first casualty of the evening.  He was followed out the door less than two minutes later when Greg E was taken out by Bob L.  Steve S made an unusually early exit when Dave M got him soon followed by first timer Marcus H by Gary R.  Next to go was another first timer Dave W when I sent him packing.

The final table was seated when Joy C was busted out by Mike S.  The first to leave the final table was Karen D when Tom J eliminated her.  The next to go was Janine R by Matt F.  Mike S was next to go in eighth place also at the hands of Matt F.  Tom J ended up this weeks bubble boy go out in seventh, ousted by Bob L.  Darlene J held on to make the money when Matt F got her in sixth.  The last of the first timers, Tom J4th, took fifth place taken out by Steve N.  Once we got to the final four we had about the most competitive match we've ever had.  We played four handed for over 45 minutes before Bob L was finally sent home by Steve N.  I then sent Steve N to the rail in third place leaving Matt F and myself heads up.  Matt and I went back and forth for about 40 more minutes before his Q,5 was finally able to stand up and get Matt a well deserved win.

Ron T stays atop the points but Matt and I are making up ground.  Tom J is also close joining myself as the only other player to make all three final tables this season.
