A wild and crazy night at the internet NPP tourney! But some things stayed constant – Boother ruled!
First, we welcomed back BigLou - who has been hitting the white ball with the funny sticks on Tuesdays.
Ten players entered and – technically - only two left at the 1st break! Nahanni sat out all the way to the break, and ArcticBlast didn’t play a hand until it got 4-handed!
Crazy!
It took a while for the first casualty, and then a poker game/suicide mission broke out!
33 min: 7Jokers (10th) is gone first and Tigercub was the murderer. So we are now at one table.
39 min: Tigercub (9th) slow plays (QQ) and for some reason bets into Doneil holding (A6) and a flop with an [A] in it.
44 min: A rare double kill as Beerhog’s (88) holds up and takes out BigLou (8th) (Ks Js) and Duder (7th) (Ah Kh).
46 min: The bad beat of the night! Oh, there were others, but because of the amount of chips involved – since it was the clash of the big stacks – this hand wins it.
Doneill (6th) has to get all-in when his (Kh 6h) makes a flush on the turn. Boother calls with the (Ah) and the [4h] hits the river. Boother now has a monster stack!
50 min: Mikeniks-Faldo (5th) has to make a move all-in with (Ac 5c) and is called by Beerhog with (99), and didn’t get enough help. Sure, an [A] hit the turn, but PS has already dropped a [9] on the flop.
56 min: ArcticBlast survives an all-in and Nahanni (4th) finally blinds out.
Break:
Boother 11,309
Beerhog 2355
ArcticBlast 1336
71 min: Beerhog (A3) cripples ArcticBlast (QQ) when an [A] lands on the turn.
75 min: Beerhog and Boother both call down ArcticBlast (3rd).
Heads up – and Boother has a 12 – 3 lead over Beerhog.
79 min: No epic battle for Boother tonight. His (33) beats Beerhog’s (2nd) (77) with a [3] on the flop and it is back to back wins for Boother. Nice job!

god! I am so bummed I missed it! argggg! congrats booth. wish I was there.
I can only play next tuesday for this quarter because after that, my parents will be in town for 2 weeks. (I only get to see them twice per year, so I won't be playing while they are here (well...at least while they are awake)).
Copy and paste the link....look who finished ninth. I am confident a write up will follow. We are in the NPP, Boother is in another league!
