The newcomer and NPP destroyer Doneill continued to smack us around thru most of the evening. He started out beating the daylights out of us - with no mercy - and then got aggressive! It was very impressive poker.
Beerhog made a nice comeback at the end to win it!
The tourney of seven players was over in less than 80 minutes total!
14 min: BigLou (7th) slow-played his KK pre-flop and went all-in post flop, but Doneill hit trip 5’s.
33 min: ArcticBlast (6th) was late getting involved and had got blinded down some. He had to make his move with (TT) and ran into Doneil’s (AK), who hit the [K] on the river.
40 min: Tigercub got run over by a short-stack like me (Faldo). My (55) and Tiger’s (Ah Qh) hook up in a coin flip. Tiger gets his [A] on the flop, but I hit my [5] on the river.
51 min: Tigercub (5th) is put out of his misery when his (Q3) hits a flop of [KQ8] but Doneill’s (JT) picks up the [9] on the turn for the straight.
57 min: Rennzzo (4th), who also was late getting to the game, had to make his move with (Th 9s) and a flop of [Tc 7c 3c]. I (Mikeniks-Faldo) was also short-stacked and had to call with (Qc 9h). The turn completes my flush.
58 min: I (3rd) test the Poker Stars “eliminate short stacks at the break theory again for verification. I have (KT) and get called by Doneill with (44), and of course don’t improve.
Break:
Doneill 6433 (on fire all game)
Beerhog 4067 (was the short-stack when still 7-handed)
67 min: Almost identical in chips, they both call the blinds and the flop is [756]. Doneill bets the minimum and Beerhog calls. The turn is a [J]. A repeat of the flop action.
The river is a [9] and all heck breaks loose. Doneill goes all-in with his 7-high straight and is called by Beerhog with his 9-high straight. A little cold deck for the Don.
69 min: Beerhog’s (J2) beats Doneill’s (2nd) (76) to end the night.
Congratulations Beerhog! Maybe now you can pay for those $350 cigars (box of ten).

Beerhog, when are you going to pick up your eight cigars for $420?
i thought it was 6 for $600.
beerhog
Don't try and scam me! It was 4 cigars for $750.
Or you can use the installment plan my Uncle Angelo taught me.
See, you can pay me $200 a month for 3 years and you will still only owe me $525.
To you fathers out there....
Happy Father's Day.

Hope the Iowa flooding is not in your area.

Iowa flooding is in the center of the state. I am hanging out on the east side, where it is fine.
