Matchy Wins NPP #2 – With a Great Comeback!

Ten players made it to the felt this evening! It was the usual brutally tough NPP game. Broke up into two 5 – player tables, it took quite a while for the first casualty to occur so we would move to one table.

Min 39: A late arriving (blinded down) short-stacked Aqualung (10th) made a stand with (AQ) but ran into Beerhog’s 55 as was gone.

Min 50: A late arriving (blinded down) short-stacked Duder (9th) called a kind of short-stacked Rownder’s raise. The flop is [AJ8]. Rownder goes all in with (AQ) and Duder called with (A7) and got no help.

Min 59: A short-stacked Nahanni (8th) goes all-in with (A8) and runs into Rownder’s (AA).

At the break:

Rownder 5340
Mikeniks 2290
Beerhog 1855
Boother 1770
ArticBlast 1640
Sev4TSev 1510
Matchy 595

Min 67: We had a rare three-way all-in; Boother (7th) all-in pre-flop with (A7), Beerhog (6th) with (QJ) and Rownder with (77) after the flop of [79T]. No {K} for the Hog and Rownder goes from chip leader to monster chip leader!

Min 68: ArticBlast (5th) goes all-in with (77) and runs into Rownder's (QQ).

Min 72: Sev4TSev (4th) goes all-in with (Q6) after a flop of [Q94] and Matchy makes the call with an over card and a inside straight draw with (KJ). A {T} arrived on the turn and the plane is grounded.

Min 83: Matchy continues his comeback with (KJ) against Rownder’s (QT) and then an (AK) with (AQ). Now Matchy has the chip lead.

Min 94: I (Mikeniks-Faldo) went card dead pretty much from the break. I have to take a flyer with an open ended straight draw and it fails (3rd).

Min 100: The hand that ended it had a board of [8d 4h Jd] [4d] [3s]. After bets on the flop, turn and river, both guys hit hands: Rownder (2nd) a flush (Kd Qd) and Matchy a full house (84). Congratulations Matchy!

1st – Matchy (15pts)
2nd – Rownder (7pts)
3rd – Mikeniks (Faldo) (8pts)
4th – Sev4TSev (4pts)
5th – ArticBlast (1pt)
6th – Beerhog
7th – Boother (7pts)
8th – Nahanni
9th – Duder
10th – Aqualung (10pts)

Thanks Boother, it was one of my more bizarre wins. I suppose it could be argued that any win by me is bizarre! You had a similar comeback from the morphine drip last year I recall.

You are correct Chesky, but I don't think it was against Rownder with a huge chip lead like he had last night when he knocked me out!!! I would never have thought he would have given up all those chips (sorry Drew).

Sure Matchy!
Sterling Heights.
Hooters is on Gratiot on the east side of the street - somewhere between 12 Mile and 14 Mile Road.

Take I-96 to Gratiot and go north on Gratiot.

I will be sitting at a table by myself as Beerhog would have been bounced out by the time you get there.

PS: Great win last night! To be 7th in chips with that line-up in front of you and win??? WOW!

Did 747 get directions?

Hooters is on the corner of Gratoit and 14 mile. Just north of the diving range.

I sent 747 the address, Herbavor.

Beerhog wants to go to BWW on 15 Mile, just west of Hayes instead of Hooterville.

So, Matchy - meet us there.

FYI guys - the girls at the Gratiot and 14 Mile Hooters have always been the finest I have ever seen as a collective group - and that has not changed thru the years.

Although one in Nashville, TN came very close.

That BWW is on the north side of 15 mile just west of Utica road.

What time will you be there?

Beerhog says he can be there by 1pm. I am planning on 3pm.
