Tigercub Wins to Take the Lead in Quarter #3

Nine players hit the virtual felt this night. Dave the Dog made a triumpant return from a half year hiatus. For some of the newcomers, this entire blog and then league idea was Dave's. Feel free to cuss him every chance you get.

30 min: The play was cautious and slow early. After all, we have a long way to go in this quarter. But finally BigLou (9th) has to go all-in with (AT) and runs into Doneill's (AK).

This looks familiar. Will Doneill continue crushing his NPP buddies?

34 min: DavetheDog calls Doneill's all-in with (Jh Th). Doneill's (AK) loses as a [J] hits the flop. Ouch! The 2nd quarter champ is crippled.

35 min: Doneill's (8th) luck did not improve. He gets all-in in a rare three-way with Duder and Rennzzo, and Duder hits the straight.

41 min: Those chips must be cursed because Duder (7th) goes all-in when his (AK) hits a flop of [A9X]. But Beerhog is holding (A9). Like I said, those chips appear cursed. More on that curse later.

And then fireworks begin for a while.

47 min: Rennzzo gets hurt badly as his (AJ) loses bets to Tigercub who holds (A5) and an [A5X] flop.

48 min: Short stacked Rennzzo (Kh Jh) gets some chips back as his all-in gets called by another three-way with Nahanni (77) and Tigercub (KQ). He hits his flush on the flop, and Nahanni picks up a side pot with trip 7's.

49 min: Rennzzo (6th) can't be saved as his next all-in (T6) runs into Tigercub's (AK).

50 min: Another 3-way??? What is going on? Tigercub (77) and I (Mikeniks-Faldo) get hurt (QQ), as Nahanni's all-in with (KJ) hits a [K] on the flop.

56 min: Well, they used to be rare, but not tonight. Another 3-way. This time we all get all-in on the river! Nahanni's (5th) flush is buried by Tigercub's 555JJ full house for side pot action. But the main pot is mine with the JJJ55 full house.

Whew! Break:

Beerhog 6040
Mikeniks 3680
DavetheDog 2000
Tigercub 1780

65 min: I got paid back by Tigercub as his QQQ55 full house beat my 555QQ. I knew he had the (Q) but called anyway. Where's my sign? Anyway, I went from 2nd to last.

76 min: I (Mikeniks) was getting very low. But Davethedog (4th) beat me to the bubble as his (AQ) hit a pair on the turn [Q]. But Beerhog had (T5) and had hit the flop [TT6]. Ouch! No lady to save him on the river.

77 min: I (Mikeniks) follow the Dog as my (AQ) ran into Beerhog's (TT) and I got no help.

Well heads up and Beerhog has 10000 and Tigercub has 3500. Remember when Beerhog won them, I mentioned that Doneill's chips may have been cursed?

80 min: Beerhog 7500 - Tigercub 6000
85 min: Beerhog 7000 - Tigercub 6500
90 min: Beerhog 3000 - Tigercub 10500

95 min: Beerhog (2nd) makes his move with (74) as the flop [TT7] hit him. Tigercub calls with (QT)! A [44] turn and river give the Cat the better full house. We saw that all night!

Congratulations Tigercub8189 on win #2 on NPP!

I know you mopes would never let me get away with this!

2nd hand of a SNG on Bo Dog. I have JJ and raise 3 BB from middle position. Two callers.

The flop is [Js Th 8h]. Hate the hearts so I go all-in. Both call. One guy has the heart draw and the other guy (97) unsuited!!!!

The straight takes it and I get the side pot of 151 chips. Obviously I am buried in 9th place.

I come back and win it!!!
The man has alligator blood!
