What a Great start to the new season!!! We had 25 players in each game!!!
Game 1 had K8 Skillman exiting in 3rd leaving a heads-up battle between your Tournament Director and Rick Martin!! After Rick makes a move all-in with 2/5 I make the call with 10/10.... The flop comes down A35... WoW, Rick has quite a few outs.... But, He doesn't get there and I take the win!!!
The middle game had Alpha take all the chips for 3k added to game 2, and Pete in 2nd for 2k and Ted in 3rd for 1k!!
Game 2 Alpha used his extra chips to get to the final table, but his run stopped there finishing 8th! After a pretty sick call from me, you had to be there to see, Mark left in 3rd place and left a heads-up match between Luke and myself!! After a few hands it was finally your TD coming out with 2 wins on the night!!!
Hope to see everyone next week at 6:30 and 9:00!!

Week 23 Recap!!

Another great turnout tonight with 19 players in each game!!

Game 1 We had Milo exiting in third leaving a heads-up match between Lisa "Sugarmomma" and Joe "Buzz"!! It didn't take too long for "Buzz" to take all the chips and become the winner!! Congrats Joe!!

Game 2 We welcomed a newbie, Ryan Repsher! Then we also welcomed back Lori and Sherri!! After Ray Zindel took a hike in third, it was a heads-up match between the lovely ladies Lori and Anna! Chips were going back and forth for over two blind levels, until Anna finally finished off Lori for the victory!!

Anna's first and fifth place finishes were enough to earn her the best combined score and the $10 gift certificate!!

Get ready for some extra points... Double Points next week for the last game of the season!!!
