7Jokers Expands His Tourney Victory Lead!

This win puts 7Jokers three ahead of his closest rivals for most NPP tourney wins! Impressive! This is not a bunch of ribbon clerks he is besting.

Seven made it to the game tonight. I suspect the Comcast internet being down contributed to the lower than average turn out. I didn’t make it as my internet did not return until around 8:30 pm. I was just about to head to Buffalo Wild Wings to make sure I caught the tail end of the tourney, when Comcast got it running.

Yes, I would have been to BWW or a Holiday Inn Express if I needed NPP points. Instead I waited it out at home.

?? min: Duder (7th) is the first one out. Maybe someone can tell us what happened.

45 min: ArcticBlast (6th), who’s luck is the only one close to being as bad as mine, flops trip 9’s – calls all-in on the turn – but Doneill had hit a straight.

58 min: Tigercub (5th) is short stacked and makes a move with (AT). Doneill is holding (KK). An [A] on the flop teases the Cat, but a [K] on the turn dashes any comeback.

Break:

Doneill 4665
Hlam 2830
7Jokers 2085
Rennzzo 920

64 min: Rennzzo (4th) (Ks Jc) goes all-in over a Doneill (Kc Th) bet. Doneill hits the heart flush, taking the heart out of Rennzzo.

66 min: Hlam14 (3rd) takes a beat from 7Joker’s flush and loses shortly afterwards to Doneill.

Heads up: Doneill 7300 and 7Jokers 3200

70 min: 7Jokers hits a big hand and takes a 9000 to 1500 lead!

71 min: Doneill (2nd) goes all-in with (76) and 7Jokers takes it down with (A6). Another win for 7Jokers!

1st – 7Jokers 31 pts
2nd – Doneill 28 pts
3rd – Hlam14 5 pts
4th – Rennzzo 17 pts
5th – Tigercub 33 pts
6th – ArcticBlast 13 pts
7th – Duder 13 pts
Nahanni 44 pts
Boother 34 pts
Beerhog 30 pts
Faldo 15 pts
Aqualung 10 pts
Matchy 5 pts
BigLou 5 pts
DavetheDog 3 pts

Boother needs a win to tie Nahanni, as long as Nahanni doesn’t get any points on the last week. Should be an exciting night of poker!

Total point race is on the right side of the blog.

weeeeeeeeeeee!!! so does that mean that I qualify for sure even if I don't play???

Yes, it means you qualify - even if you don't play.

The Tournament Committee is researching the bylaws to see if women are even eligible to play in the Final.

We are calling Augusta National for a copy of their rules.

yeah...this is probably a first...I mean, other than you playing in the final, there probably haven't been any other women who have qualified.

Ouch! Now that was uncalled for. I never tease you, do I?
