2013-2014 Tournament #2

The second tournament of the season is in the books and it was a fun one, well at least for some of you.  The tournament got off to a fast start with Tom sending Steve S packing just twenty minutes into the night.  Tom's glory was short lived as he was sent to the rail by Dave D before round two was in the books.  I was next to go, also at the hands of Dave.  At this point it was becoming obvious that Dave was the ultimate luck box tonight (just kidding Dave, sort of).  Mike S playing for the first time this season sent Kevin C to a very early seat at the cash table.  Darlene was next to go at the hands of Ron T.  That put two of the final three from last week on the rail very early in the night.  Mitch C and Matt F when next to go, both at the hands of Bob D.  Kelly M sent her husband away next making for an interesting ride home I'm sure.  Bob D and Dave D spent the night doing their best Miley Cyrus impressions playing the wrecking balls with six knockouts each on the night. 

The final table was seated when Dave D got his fifth kill of the night taking out Karl.  From here Bob D started his assault on the final table taking down Janine, Billy W and Mike S all in a row.  Joy got in on the action sending Mark L out on the bubble.  Bob D got his sixth and final knockout of the night finishing of Derrick.  Dave D then got his sixth knockout eliminating Bob D and putting himself three handed against Joy and Kelly.  The girls teamed up on Dave and Joy eventually disposed of him.  Joy's run to the heads up battle was an amazing one being down to only 300 chips at one point at the final table.  After a great heads up battle that lasted at least 40 hands Kelly managed to come out on top and get her first league victory.  The great finishes by Dave in back to back weeks though left him in the top spot in the points.

2013-2014 Tournament #1

Okay, I'm going to try to do a better job keeping this up to date this season.  The first tournament of the season is in the books and it was an entertaining one.  It started off pretty fast and furious with Sharon getting knocked out courtesy of Steve S within seven minutes of the first deal.  A mere ten minutes later Theresa also let Steve get the best of her.  The pace started to slow down from there with only Joy getting sent to the rail in the second round.

The final table was formed when Kevin C was sent packing late in round seven by Dave M.  Everyone tightened up with only Bob S busting out in the next two rounds.  New member Dan T did a great job making it to eighth place eventually getting knocked out by Tom J.  Seventh went to Bobby N, playing for the first time in about five seasons, when Janine sent him packing.  Janine continued her destruction by sending Derrick home in sixth and on the bubble, soon followed by Dave M in fifth.  Darlene then sent Janine home in fourth leaving Tom and Darlene to try and team up on Dave D for the top spot.  The three handed battle was short lived with Darlene getting busted out in third by Dave.  Dave only needed a couple hands to finish off the win sending Tom home in second.

Interesting note, this was the second season in a row that Dave managed to win the opening tournament of the season.  It also gave Dave at least one win in four consecutive seasons.
