K9isadog Wins His First NPP Tourney!

Over a field of another eighteen players, K9isadog overcame a few monster stacks of his opponents to take this one. He also had and lost a monster stack himself, but rallied nicely. K9isadog becomes the 44th member of the NPP Walk of Fame!

Returning to the NPP felt tonight was Duder1123. Welcome back!

Now remember – we have a week off before the exciting 3rd quarter final. Five players are still in the running for the NPP finals seat.

This is an excellent opportunity to RECRUITE for the league and the blog! And this final tourney of the 3rd quarter would give rookies a chance to give it a try before the final quarter race begins.

On to the action:

16 min: UMichPoker (19th) loses to Theedouble*d.
28 min: A short-stacked (SS) LittleRedElf (18th) loses to a SS Duder1123, who hits a straight on the river.

34 min: A very rare double kill as Kensik (17th) (66) and TresStooges (16th) (AQ) lose to K9isadog’s (QT) two pair on the turn [8QJT].

39 min: Absea98 (15th) sees his (As3s) run into Meatsword’s (KK). Tight play follows, but it exploded after the break! As you can see, we had some short stacks who did not try to fight the Break Monster.

1st Break:
K9isadog 5866
Theedouble*d 3586
Douge2 2675
Akensi 2375
Tomservo2 2340
Budda627 2165
Tigercub8189 2076
ThePunk75 1802
T3chlady 1510
Meatsword 1448
Rennzzo 1018
Wingsfancurt 645
Funtoon 570
Duder1123 424

Here starts some carnage.

61 min: SS Duder1123 (14th) goes with (K9) and sees a SS Wingsfancurt (QJ) pair the [J] to take it down.

63 min: Douge2 (13th) (KdQd) gets out flopped as Theedouble*d (JT) hits a [J] on the flop. Lots of bigger cards were out – flopped tonight. An awful lot!

65 min: Budda627 (12th) sees his (66) get out – flopped by K9isadog’s (A8) with an [A] on the flop.

68 min: A SS Wingsfancurt (11th) pushes with (AJ) but K9isadog (A3) makes a straight! Ouch! Now things settle for a while, before another rush to the exits.

81 min: Funtoon (10th) has to go with (A2) and K9isadog calls with (Qh 8h) and wins with a [Q] on the flop.

82 min: A SS Akensi (9th), Meatsword and Tigercub8189 take it to the river and Meat’s two pair take it down.

84 min: An AIPF ThePunk75 (8th) is called by Meatsword, Theedouble*d and T3chlady. Meatsword bets the other two out with (33) and it takes the pot.

86 min: A SS Rennzzo (7th) has to try with (Kd 9d) but can’t catch to T3chlady’s (44).

91 min: Success is fleeting for T3chlady (6th) who is AIPF with (AJ) (48%) against Meatsword’s (KQ), but a [K] on the flop and the Lady has yet another tough NPP exit.

The exit door gets a rest for a little while – until:

108 min: A SS Tomservo2 (5th) has to try with (Kd 7d) but can’t catch K9isadog’s (KJ).
115 min: A SS Tigercub8189 (4th) is all-in with (A5) but can’t catch Meatsword’s (AJ).
116 min: A SS Theedouble*d (3rd) sees his (KJ) run into Meatsword’s (88).

Heads up: Meatsword 22000 - K9isadog 6500
But a lost hand right at the break makes it closer.

2nd break:
Meatsword 17266
K9isadog 11234

125 min: Meatsword 13500 - K9isadog 15000

127 min: Meatsword (2nd) goes with (QT) but K9isadog has (A3) with an [A] on the flop.

Congratulations K9isadog.

1st – K9isadog
2nd – Meatsword
3rd – Theedouble*d
4th – Tigercub8189
5th – Tomservo2
6th – T3chlady
7th – Rennzzo
8th – ThePunk75
9th – Akensi

Standings are on the right side of the blog! Five still have a shot for the 3rd quarter seat in the NPP Finals!

Reminder: No tourney next week. We return to the NPP PS felt on September 15th. Bring in new players for the 4th quarter!
