Nahanni74 Returns to NPP…and Crushes the Field

Welcome back Nahanni74! Well sort of. Not if you are going to treat us this way.

Just kidding. Nahanni (Jennifer) comes back and was near the lead or had the lead thorough out the tourney and bested 17 others.

Also returning was Mowin4116, after a long break, and Odds2win777 after a short one.

What I noticed tonight was that a lot of players behind pre-flop caught up and held after the flop. You will see what I mean.

On to the action:

11 min: Not a friendly greeting from the NPP faithful, as Mowin4166 (18th) is short-stacked (SS) and loses the race with (Kd Qd) to Pre01’s (AT).

14 min: Theedouble*d (17th) slow plays his (QQ) and trips on the flop into a disaster, as Nahanni74 hits her straight on the river.

21 min: A double kill by Wingsfancurt, as his (77) takes out Suetman1 (16th) (AQ) and Odds2win777 (15th) (KQ) with a [7] on the river.

23 min: Derf-63 (13th) Sorry I missed it playing my own hand into disaster.
32 min: A SS LittleRedElf (14th) sees his (QT) with a [Q] on the flop, run into Douge2’s (AQ).
38 min: A SS xxxKdogxxx’s (13th) (QT) with a [T] on the flop, runs into Nahanni74’s (AT)!
50 min: A SS Tigercub8189 (11th) sees his (AQ) lose the coin flip to Yecats423’s (44).
51 min: Yecats423 (10th) goes out next when Douge2 hits his flush.
58 min: Absea98 (9th) sees his (AQ) run into Funtoon’s (AK).

1st break:
Pre01 5205
Wingsfancurt 5038
Nahanni74 4895
Funtoon 3940
Douge2 3592
ThePunk75 1905
T3chlady 1465
Mikeniks-Faldo 960

65 min: Pre01 (8th) sees his (88) run into Funtoon’s (QQ).
72 min: Now a SS Douge2 (7th) sees his paired 6’s run into Wingsfancurt’s (JJ).
79 min: A SS ThePunk75 (6th) loses with (TT) to Wingsfancurt’s (AJ), as a [J] hits the river. Ouch!

83 min: A SS Mikeniks-Faldo (5th) goes with (66) and gets called by Wingsfancurt with (AT), who hits a [T] on the flop.

110 min: A long battle ensues before T3chlady (4th) goes with (99). But Wingsfancurt is there again, this time with (AQ), and hits the [A] on the flop.

2nd break:
Nahanni74 10780
Wingsfancurt 9850
Funtoon 6370

133 min: Finally, a SS Wingsfancurt (3rd) goes with (K9 – is a dog), and Nahanni74 correctly calls with (Jc 8c). The [J] falls on the flop.

Heads up: Nahanni74 18000 - Funtoon 9000
135 min: Nahanni74 18000 - Funtoon 9000

139 min: A SS Funtoon (2nd) has to go with (4c 3c), but Nahanni74 is holding (K6).

Congratulations to Nahanni74 on the win! Nahanni is already up there on the Walk of Fame, but takes yet another step.

1st – Nahanni74 24 pts
2nd – Funtoon 19 pts
3rd – Wingsfancurt 15 pts
4th – T3chlady 12 pts
5th – Mikeniks-Faldo 9 pts
