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.
