Well, he no longer can be called ‘rookie’. The newest member of the NPP stable of players, McGuiness007 (Tim), wins his first tourney on one very snowy night. The weather made Nahanni, Rownder and Tigercub late and stopped Matchy from playing all together.
But the worst of it ...was finding out Boother was in the Bahamas! That - I did not need to hear. On to the action. Slow start - fast finish.
40 min: A rare three-way all-in when a short-stacked Sev4TSev (7th) went all-in with (65) and was called in two places by Tigercub (A8s) and Nahanni (TT). The flop had an [A] in it, so the plane crashed, the cat got fed and the lady lost with the lead. A sign of things to come.
50 min: McGuiness calls Nahanni’s (6th) big blind. The flop of [443] gets a bet from McGuiness and a call from Nahanni. A [5] on the turn give Nahanni two pair and she goes all-in – only to run into the Scot’s trip 4’s.
Break:
McGuiness 3800 (taking pots from tourists)
Mikeniks 2465 (made up from slow start)
Rownder 1765 (dangerous amount of chips)
Tigercub 1540 (Not the best card run)
Beerhog 930 (Mikeniks hurt him 5 min before the break)
78 min: A short-stacked Beerhog (5th) goes all-in when his (K2) hits the flop of [229]. But McGuiness calls with (99)! Beerhog ran into a hot player. Watch this.
80 min: Mikeniks (4th) - I got hurt by McGuiness earlier in a blind battle and now I am the short stack. I hit the flop [Q64] with my (J6s) in the blind - again - and make my stand. But McGuiness is holding (99) and I get no pardon from the governor.
82 min: Rownder (3rd) also had his two pair run into a McGuiness set of trips. Sorry I don’t have the details. I wrote down the wrong hand number. Hands were flying by. Note the minute counts.
83 min: Tigercub (2nd) goes all-in with (Q7) and a flop-turn of [766A], but McGuiness has (AJ) and no lucky seven for the Cat.
Congratulations on your first win at NPP, McGuiness - and welcome to the Walk of Fame!

1st – McGuiness [18 pts]
2nd – Tigercub [7 pts]
3rd – Rownder [17 pts]
4th – Mikeniks [22 pts]

oh my god...another person begged for chips tonight? good lord! this never happened once last year (at least when I played)...and now this year it has happened almost every game...like WTF? weird.
Congrats McG!
Now let's start talkin' live NPP at Matchy's on Feb 23 @ 7pm. Usual NPP rules will apply. I expect game to rap up around 1am, I can't hang w/ you guys 'til 3! All you guys and girls are welcome. It may be chilly in my basement so dress accordingly. I can probably round up 1 or 2 non-posting locals as well.
I'll start by saying I am in.
im in matchy. good job mcg.

Good evening,
I cannot make Matchy's house on the 23rd.
Also, I am expecting an offer on Friday. There are 2 casino's in Davenport and 1 3rd across the river in Moline. The Isle of Capri has sign-age calling on the public to come visit their new poker room. I look foward to that.

Where is all the poker excitement...seems to have gotten up and left. I guess we all got the mid-winter blahs.
Mike are you in? Tolly? Sparty? Boother?
I don't want to play heads up w/ the Hogg all night!
It looks like I am out for the game at Matchy's. I am planning on playing in a fund raising tourney in Wixom that evening. $125 buy-in w/ 1st paying $5k based on 80 entries.
Chesky, I wouldn't worry about going one-on-one with the Hogg all night....you are pretty good with that already...I've seen your right forearm!!!
