Vanettej Wins His 1st NPP Tourney!

Vanettej held off a hard-charging Fourbetbluff and twenty-five other players to win NPP’s tourney #6 of the year.

Suetman1 had another final table as she gradually makes it the resemblance of a race for the first seat in the NPP Finals. K9isadog …finally was kept from a final table for the first time this year. Nice run Dog!

Sorry for the delay in setting up the tourney. I rushed home from Toronto to get it done. My new employment has me ....I guess, losing my memory. I thought I had posted it, but had not. Hat tip to all who emailed, Bigbrimar…and to Bigbrimar who called to tell me I had screwed up!

There is nothing like sitting in traffic behind someone going 10 mph just because there is snow on the ground and you have to get somewhere. I have a stress test scheduled soon, but I think I just had it.

It did not seem to hurt the turnout, so thanks for your patience everyone! We also welcomed back Merhibka to the league.

As I mentioned, I was out of town on business and had a ton of emails to answer, so tournament reporting is spotty. My employer has decided to wait five weeks before getting me email access…or a computer to do my job. Not that it slowed the workload mind you.

Obama Motors took five weeks to deliver a ‘non-working or set up’ computer to an employee. But I’m sure they can handle the nation’s healthcare flawlessly.

On to the action:

14 min: Rennzzo (27th)
34 min: A short stacked (SS) Tomservo2 (26th) (99) (16%) and Mistermusic5 (25th) (KK) (66%) go with great hands, but Suetman1 (JJ) (17%) is trapped in too and hits a full house for the double knockout!

40 min: Derf-63 (24th).
47 min: A SS LittleRedElf (23rd) has to go with (QJ) but runs into Meatsword’s (AQ).

48 min: T3chlady (22nd).
56 min: Birdy333 (21st).
57 min: BigDaddyTman (20th) has his (JT) with a [J] on the flop, run into Meatsword’s (KK).

1st break:
Meatsword 5115
Phil1976224 4765
Fourbetbluff 3895
Suetman1 3265
Pre01 3195
Theedouble*d 2555
Absea98 2335
Kensik 2048
K9isadog 1960
Douche_Splat 1875
ThePunk75 1760
Vanettej 1660
Bigbrimar 1522
Mikeniks-Faldo 1230
Merhibka 830
Tigercub8189 815
Odds2win777 725
Akensi 510
Biglou93 440

61 min: Mikeniks-Faldo (19th) tries to get back into the tourney with (55), but loses the coin flip to Suetman1 with (AK) and an [A] on the flop.

63 min: K9isadog’s (18th) streak of final tables is ended by Absea98 with his trip 4’s.
65 min: Tigercub8189 (17th).
67 min: Merhibka (16th).
70 min: Biglou93 (15th).
75 min: Akensi (14th).
78 min: ThePunk75 (13th) has to try with (66), but Suetman1 is holding (KK).
82 min: Odds2win777 (12th) goes with (22), but cannot catch Theedouble*d’s (77).
83 min: Phil1976224 (11th) bluffs with (T6) but runs into Vanettej’s (AK). This was the kick-start Van needed I guess.

87 min: Bigbrimar bubbles (10th) with (AJ) against Kensik (AT) as a ten hits the river.

90 min: Vanettej continues his moves as he dents Theedouble*d’s stack. Van raises standard and DD calls. The flop is [Jh Jd Ks]. A go broke board for sure.

Van check-raises DD and gets called. The turn is the [3s]. The exact same check-raise scenario is repeated!

The river brings an [8d]. Vanettej bets enough to be pot committed and after some thought, DD lays it down. Ok, what did you two have?

91 min: Absea98 (9th) goes with (JJ), but Vanettej is holding (QQ)!
101 min: Meatsword (8th) goes with (77) but Douche_Splat is holding (QQ).
110 min: A SS Kensik (7th) has to go with (94), but can’t catch Suetman1’s (A6).
117 min: A SS Pre01 (6th) goes with (AT), but cannot catch Douche_Splat’s (QQ).
119 min: Theedouble*d (5th) goes with (44) but loses the coin flip to Fourbetbluff’s (AK) when an [A] flopped. AK won all the coin flips tonight it seemed.

2nd Break:
Douche_Splat 13730
Vanettej 12865
Fourbetbluff 8585
Suetman1 5320

150 min: Douche_Splat’s internet went out at this point. This slowed the hands down to a crawl. This is a tough break for all concerned, and another minor but irritating bad break for Faldo. I had not even had time to unpack. There is no way I was going to have the time to post this tourney tonight now.

A now a SS Suetman1 (4th) has to go with (KQ), but Vanettej has (AA).

155 min: Douche_Splat (3rd) finally blinds out.

Heads up: Fourbetbluff 24000 - 16500 Vanettej
160 min: About the same chips.

164 min: Now the shorter stack Fourbetbluff (2nd) goes with (A9) but Vanettej is holding (QQ)!

Congratulations to Vanettej on his 1st NPP win and welcome to the Walk of Fame. He is the 50th player to be placed on that walk.

1st – Vanettej – 24 points
2nd – Fourbetbluff – 19 points
3rd – Douche_Splat – 15 pts
4th – Suetman1 – 12 pts
5th – Theedouble*d – 9 pts
6th – Pre01 – 7 pts
7th – Kensik – 5 pts
8th – Meatsword – 4 pts
9th – Absea98 – 3 pts

Every one else earned one (1) point! Standings on the right side of the blog!

1. It's important to have a woman, who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job.

2. It's important to have a woman, who can make you laugh.

3. It's important to have a woman, who you can trust and who doesn't lie to you.

4. It's important to have a woman, who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.

5. It's very, very important that these four women do not know each other

Yours truly,
