Doneill Destroys the NPP 2nd Quarter in Five Rounds!

Eight players showed up for the 2nd Quarter Final to be part of the Doneill Death March.

The only player missing that still had a shot was Nahanni. I'm surprised by that absentee. However, Boother and Beerhog showed up to add gusto to the festivities.

10 min: Gusto was given early as Beerhog (8th) and Rownder (7th) get all-in with Doneill (TT). His [T] hits the flop to eliminate the (AA) and (JJ) of Beerhog and Rownder. Ouch!

Rownder can still finish 1st with a Boother, Rennzzo, Duder, Doneill, Tigercub finish, so he is not eliminated yet!

Chips:
Doneill 4100
Duder 2080
Tigercub 1679
BigLou 1450
Rennzzo 1450

20 min:
Chips:
Doneill 4000
Duder 1945
Tigercub 1740
BigLou 1430
Rennzzo 1345

30 min:
Chips:
Doneill 3745
Duder 2283
Tigercub 1500
BigLou 1310
Rennzzo 1165

33 min: BigLou gets healthy as his (QQ) runs over Boother’s (JJ).

40 min:
Chips:
Doneill 3745
Duder 3608
BigLou 2595
Tigercub 825
Rennzzo 665

45 min: Boother (6th) ran into BigLou’s straight to end his night as spoiler. That elimination ends Rowder’s hope to clinch a seat tonight. But the man still has a stranglehold on the total points seat right now!

48 min: Tigercub (5th) has to go all-in with (99) and gets action from Duder with (AK). An [A] on the turn ends Tiger’s hopes for a seat in the 2nd quarter - as he needed a 3rd or better finish with help.

50 min:
Chips:
Duder 4933
Doneill 3045
BigLou 2882
Rennzzo 740

52 min: Rennzzo gets back in it as his (AK) doubles up against BigLou’s (99) with an [A] on the turn. Must be the night for (99) to go night-night.

Break: Four players left – all with a chance for the 2nd Quarter Seat!
Duder 4983
Doneill 2995
BigLou 2892
Rennzzo 1130

65 min:
Chips:
Doneill 5095
Duder 3108
BigLou 2292
Rennzzo 1505

67 min: BigLou (4th) hits a straight on the flop and sort of slow-plays it. Duder calls him with (As 7s) and one spade on the flop. When the turn is a [S], BigLou bets a good amount but Duder calls and hits the [S] on the river. BigLou can’t lay it down and he is out of contention for this seat tonight.

71 min: Rennzzo hits quad 6’s on Duder to take 2nd place now behind Doneill.

75 min:
Chips:
Doneill 4765
Rennzzo 4225
Duder 3050

This has been the Doneill-Duder Show all night. Where did this Rennzzo guy come from?

85 min:
Chips:
Doneill 7680 (won big pot on Ace-high!)
Rennzzo 2225
Duder 2025

86 min: Duder (3rd) hits a pair on the river and gives it a go, only to find Doneill had hit his straight on the same river card. No seat for Duder tonight.

Heads up:
Doneill 10,000
Rennzzo 2000

If Rennzzo wins this, they both get a seat, since they would both have 35 points! I don’t know if they had calculated that out or not. The big chip lead makes it irrelevant anyway.

90 min:
Doneill 7500
Rennzzo 4500

92 min: Rennzzo (2nd) hits a flop with (Js 6s) with a [6 3 2] flop. Trying to buy the pot right there, he moves all-in with top pair, but Doneill has (32). No help arrives and Doneill claims seat #3 in the finals!

What a butt kicking handed out to the rest of the NPP boys by Doneill!
He only played in 5 of the 12 tourneys and takes the seat! Wow! That is a 1st class crush!

1st – Doneill 38 pts (seat #3)
2nd – Rennzzo 32 pts
3rd – Duder 31 pts
4th – BigLou 34 pts
5th – Tigercub 30 pts
6th – Boother 14 pts
7th – Rownder 33 pts
8th – Beerhog 17 pts
MikeNiks (28 pts)
Nahanni 26 pts
ArcticBlast 16 pts
Aqualung 7 pts
Sev4TSev 3 pts
McGuiness 3 pts

You got to love the closeness of the race! Seven players had a shot on week #12.

Total points race is posted on the side of the blog.

wow! sounds like a good game! Congrats to Doneill. I'm bummed that I missed it. I had a night meeting and didn't get home until 9:00...poop! Actually, I'm bummed that I missed as many games this quarter because I did have a slight chance and winning a seat. Oh well...I guess there is next quarter.
