Last Game of the Year at NPP Looked Like the Others

The last live round of NPP went pretty much the way the whole year went – Herbavor running hot and the rest of us six players chasing. Herb got hot early and stayed that way. Fourputt showed up for his bi-annual visit and The Wall also made his quarterly appearance.

Herbavor was the big winner in the ring game. Larry P was second and Matchy third.

The tourney was a shorter version since some guys had to get up early. It started out as a replay of the ring game as Larry P took the early lead in chips. Herbavor took over with a good size chip lead, but he couldn’t hold onto it. Matchy took Herbavor out. I took Larry P out, and 7forty7 took me out. Matchy finished first and 7forty7 was second – the only two spots that collected bling.

So Herbavor hung on to the top spot by just a little as Matchy closed the gap with his tourney win.

The next NPP game at the Palace is January 20th.

Look for the 2006 Nik’s Poker Player of the Year Awards posting – coming soon. – Nik Faldo
