A tough night of poker for the better hands tonight it seemed. Lots of AA, KK, QQ and TT beaten….and that was just the hands Faldo played! Other people had similar fates. Such is poker sometimes.
We welcomed back Fourbetbluff and Odds2win777 to the 3rd quarter action. They got the usual warm NPP reception tonight too. Wingsfancurt missed tonight as he is in Las Vegas to catch some WSOP action.
On to the NPP action:
17 min: Mikeniks-Faldo (20th) sees his (KK) lose to ThePunk75’s (Ah 3h) flush on the turn. That was the final nail in my “big hands lose” coffin.
22 min: Fourbetbluff (19th) missed it watching the one below.
23 min: A short-stacked (SS) Theedouble*d (18th) (A6) can’t catch Meatsword’s (JJ).
29 min: Mistermusic5 (17th) sees his (AA) run into a [T] on the flop with Tigercub8189 holding (TT).
36 min: Odds2win777 (16th) has (AA). Douge2 calls with (42), with a [2] on the flop, and hits a [4] on the turn.
Like I said, big hands had trouble tonight. Of course I got them tonight. But at least I had company.
37 min: Meatsword (15th) misses his flush draw (Ks 5s) and Douge2’s (99) hang on.
38 min: Tomservo2 (14th)
40 min: Derf-63 (13th)
45 min: Funtoon (12th)
53 min: Eyekall (11th) sees his (44) lose to T3chlady’s (Ad 3d) with a [A8A] flop.
54 min: Tigercub8189 (10th) takes his brother’s bubble spot.
55 min: A SS K9isadog (9th) goes with (QT) but can’t catch Yecats423’s (AA). They held up!!! The table gave PokerStars a standing ovation.
59 min: The break monster got LittleRedElf (8th) as his (88) loses the coin flip to xxxKdogxxx’s (Ac Kc) with an [A] on the river.
1st break:
Douge2 9359
xxxKdogxxx 7875
Yecats423 3396
T3chlady 3375

77 min: A SS ThePunk75 (6th) goes with (KK) and gets quadruple-teamed, losing to xxxKdogxxx’s straight.

89 min: Yecats423 (4th) sees her (AQ) lose to xxxKdogxxx’s (A9) when the flop comes [998].
97 min: A SS T3chlady’s (3rd) comes up short as her (K9) runs into xxxKdogxxx’s (KJ).
Heads up: Douge2 14000 - xxxKdogxxx 16000
Get ready for the marathon!!!

105 min: Heads up: Douge2 18300 - xxxKdogxxx 11700
110 min: Heads up: Douge2 17200 - xxxKdogxxx 12800
113 min: They see a flop of [4d 5d 3c]. Kdog bets and Doug calls. The turn is a [Qh]. Kdog makes a pot size bet. Doug goes into a think tank, before re-raising the pot! Kdog’s turn to tank, but he eventually folds.
Ok, what did you guys have? I put Doug on a double draw and Kdog on a pair of queens. That is my guess.

145 min: Heads up: Douge2 16800 - xxxKdogxxx 13200
150 min: Heads up: Douge2 19800 - xxxKdogxxx 10200
152 min: Kdog is down to about 4000 and both players hit full houses! Doug has 4’s over 8’s and Kdog has 4’s over 9’s!!!! We continue!
154 min: xxxKdogxxx (2nd) finally has to go with (8h 3h) but Douge2’s (99) holds.
