CrackBuyer Wins His 1st NPP Title Against a Record Field!

CrackBuyer has knocked at the door of the Walk of Fame quite a few times, but was always been turned away. Sometimes outplayed, and sometimes it was an unlucky card. But this time he kicked the door down with the most players ever holding it back.

Twenty-four players entered tonight, breaking the old record by two! And we want to welcome the four new players also; Absea98, Addictedtoem, Fixyourbuggy and Suetman1.

On to the action:

36 min: As Hlam14 pointed out, play was on the tight side tonight. No casualties until Sirgash (24th) had his (33) over taken by Duder1123’s (KJ) when a [K] hit the board.

37 min: Then a small rush of casualties. Fixyourbuggy (23rd). A typical NPP welcome to new players, as you will see as this tourney moves on. But hang tough Buggy!

Sorry, with the volume of players, there is no way I can get all these hands and play mine too. I am lucky to get the time of the elimination.

38 min: Addictedtoem (22nd) - ditto Addict. We are hard on newcomers.

44 min: Tigercub8189 (21st) – Missed this and it was at my table! Watching the next one out’s hand.

45 min: I did see this one as Duder1123 (20th) goes all-in with (44) and a full house, but loses to Akensi’s Quad Tens! He is not out on this hand but is taken out soon after this.

47 min: Absea98 (19th) - It's not you, it's us.

48 min: Jager244 (18th)

50 min: Acesovru (17th)

51 min: Theedouble*d (16th)

53 min: Mistermusic5 (15th)

55 min: ThePunk75 (14th)

Break:
CrackBuyer 7105
Rennzzo 5345
Akensi 3880
Littleredelf 3675
Suetman1 3535
Whilden 2947
Douge2 2685
Hlam14 2490
Kensik 1435
Nahanni74 1188
Biglou93 735
Mikeniks-Faldo 510
RKidder51400 470

The most ever still alive at the break!

71 min: The low chippers battle on – except for RKidder51400 (13th), who finally blinds out.

72 min: Biglou93 (12th) has to try it with (Td 9d) but Nahanni’s (66) makes a full house for over kill.

77 min: Didn’t see it, but Nahanni (11th) is the next one out.

78 min: Mikeniks-Faldo (10th) has to go with (8h 7h) but runs into Akensi’s (Ah Jh).

89 min: Kensik (9th) has his (AQ) run into Suetman1’s (AK).

102 min: A good battle ensues before Akensi (8th) has her (Ac Jc) fall to Whilden’s (QQ).

112 min: Douge2 (7th) has his (33) get run down by Whilden’s (Ks Qs) as a [K] appears on the board. That is two 7th’s in two consecutive starts for Doug.

Break #2:
Whilden 13750
CrackBuyer 8990
Suetman1 6020
Rennzzo 2680
LittleRedElf 2525
Hlam14 2035

124 min: Bad beat of the night of the hands I witnessed (please lay the others I missed on me on the comment section). Hlam14 (6th) has to go all-in with (KK), but sees Whilden hit a [T] on the flop and an [A] on the river! Ouch! That makes two 6ths for Hlam in two consecutive starts also.

126 min: Point leader Rennzzo (5th) has his (TT) run into Crackbuyer’s (AA).

137 min: Suetman1 (4th) has her (A9) get run down by Whilden’s (J9) as a [J] appears on the flop. A very nice finish for a newcomer. Look out guys - another tough lady player in our group!

138 min: LittleRedElf (3rd) goes all-in with (AJ) and is called by Whilden with (A8). Ok, we all know an [8] falls on the flop.

Is it me or is Whilden hitting more boards than a bag of hockey pucks during warm up? I was trying to get a pool going for what suit the [8] would be on the river, but Poker Stars spoiled the fun and dropped it too early.

As we go to heads up, the chips are even between CrackBuyer and Whilden.

140 min: Whilden 21000 - CrackBuyer 15000

143 min: The match turned when they got all-in with a (77) for CrackBuyer and a (JT) for Whilden. A [T] hit on the flop, but a [7] appeared on the turn! This reversed the chip lead and then some.

144 min: Whilden (2nd) made his stand with (65) and was called by CrackBuyer with (KQ), who made the K-high straight for an over kill final hand.

Nice run by Whilden and congratulations to CrackBuyer for his fist NPP victory!

1st – CrackBuyer 20 points
2nd – Whliden 14 pts

Thank you Nik
Yes I have been so close before and tasted some blood. Now I have got a piece of meat.
Only hope to be as lucky next week.

I've missed the Tuesday nite league twice now and it's all because of Tiggercubby! LoL

But I think I'll be back next week to attempt on getting my first point!
