Eight players finally made it to the game this evening. Rownder was a little late registering and Nahanni was a little late starting and ArcticBlast were a lot late getting started. But all made it in plenty of time to be factors.
21 min: Beerhog gets crippled early as his (AQ) ran into BigLou93’s (QJ) with a flop of [QJ5].
25 min: Mikeniks-Faldo gives Beerhog some life as my (55) fails as his (A3) hits an [A] on the flop. Don’t give chips to Beerhog as he will make you pay for your generosity.
39 min: Nahanni gets her stacked whacked as she tries to take ArcticBlast out with (33) and a flop of [A24]. But Arctic puts the freeze to her as his (KK) holds up against the straight draw and trips catch.
44 min: Last week’s winner Tigercub8189 (8th) exits first as his big hands early earned him no chips. Then with a flop of [448], he goes all-in with a semi-short stack and (A8). BigLou9393 calls him with (48)! Ouch!
48 min: A short-stacked Nahanni (7th) doesn’t get the Faldo gift pack of chips. She goes up against real card players, instead of me, with (AT). Both BigLou93 and Duder (K9) call her. The flop is [359]. Duder bets and BigLou93 gets out of the way. Duder trips his 9’s on the turn to end the lady’s night.
59 min: I’ve (Faldo) told everyone – never, NEVER go all-in short-stacked right before the break. I am convinced the Poker Stars software is designed to clean up the debris right before breaks.
I’m (6th) short-stacked, thanks to my 70 hand run of garbage cards and rotten play. I read BigLou9393 for a draw of some kind with a flop of [As 7s 2c]. I go all-in with (KJ) hoping to buy it or hit a pair. BigLou93 had paired the ducks, no help arrives of course and I am out of there.
Gee, yet another bubble finish for Faldo. Go figure.
Break:
BigLou93 4345
ArcticBlast 2850
Duder 2835
Rownder 1000
Beerhog 970 (way to come back!)
64 min: ArcticBlast (TT) and a shorter-stacked Rownder (AT) hook up with Rownder all-in and hitting an [A] on the flop. They virtually change positions in chip count.
66 min: ArcticBlast (5th) gets hit with nearly simultaneous death blows as his (QQ) runs into Rownder’s (AA). A tough run for Blast after the break, that is for sure!
73 min: Rownder (4th) tries to make a grab for the gusto but the cards do not cooperate for him this time. Now short-stacked again, he makes his stand with (JT) and runs into BigLou93’s (KT).
75 min: Duder (3rd) was getting grounded into dust by the big stack, BigLou93 (as was Beerhog). Duder goes all-in with (77) and BigLou93 calls with (QJ) and BigLou93 hits the straight on the turn to end the night for Duder.
80 min: That leaves the Beerhog (2nd), who made a great comeback and dodged the bullets without ever having a big supply of chips the whole night. He dribbles in his last little bit with (Ts 3h) and a flop of [8s 7s 3s], for a pair of 3’s and a flush draw. BigLou93 calls with (54) and hits a straight on the river to close it out!
Nice win BigLou and way to tough out a place finish Beerhog.

Nice win BigLou!
Before I leave for Vegas, I found this just uncovered letter. Must have fallen out of Beerhog's pocket at BWW while he reached for his embroidered hankie to wipe his eyes after eating a "mildly spicy" chicken wing:
From: Playgirl, Inc.
Centerfold Division
To: Beerhog
Dear Sir (we think),
We regret to inform you that we will be unable to use you in any centerfold.
On a scale from 0 to 10, you scored a -2 with our panel of women judges from ages 40 to 80 years old.
We tried to get the 18 to 39 year old panels to vote, but they could not stop laughing long enough to reach a decision.
Should American women ever change their tastes in male bodies so drastically - or all go blind - we will notify you.
In the meantime, don't ever call us. We might call you.
Sympathetically,
The Editors of Playgirl Magazine.
PS: We commend you for your unusal pose. Were you wounded in a construcion accident or do you ride a bike and hit the center bar continuously?
Last night in cards Boother won the most, Matchy second...and the waitress Nicole third. Basically if you were Canadian you lost money. Beerhog you shoulda been there, maybe next time.
