Always exciting when we can add another player to our Walk of Fame! In round #3 of the new year, TheNewY2K bested nineteen others to get there, showing stamina. He was the low chip person a few times early, but come back to win it!
We also welcomed back Nahanni and Umichpoker for their first action of the NPP season.
6 min: It was ugly early for Mistermusic5 (19th) as his (KK) ran into a [6] on the flop and CrackBuyer’s (66) in the hand.
Mistermusic5 will not be the only one who got run down tonight. It’s poker. It’s poker on Poker Stars – and it hurts sometimes. Sometimes it hurts a lot.
23 min: 7Jokers (18th) takes a shot with (KK) and a flop of [8J9], but finds Tigercub8189 holding the nuts (KT).
33 min: Four players see a flop of [338]. TheNewY2K raises a Umichpoker (17th) bet and call, and the turn is [4]. Y2K moves all-in with (A3) – trips - and is called by Umich with (87) – two pair – and the river is no help.
37 min: A short stacked Kensik (16th) makes a move with (A5) and is called in two places by CrackBuyer (77) and Thedouble*d (KK) and no Ace appears.
45 min: RKidder51400 (15th) tries to get her (AQ) to finish the straight the flop started with [TK9], but it doesn’t get there and CrackBuyer is holding (KT).
50 min: Due to me playing my own hand and folding against Nahanni on another table, BigLou93 (14th) was lost on another table and I didn’t see it. Maybe someone can clue us in.
53 min: Jager244 (13th) makes his move with (KJ) and runs into Akensi’s (AK). Action now picks up as the Break Monster gets busy.
58 min: Theedouble*d (12th) with (AK) goes all-in and is called in two spots by ThePunk75 (A8) and LittleRedElf (44). The flop of [3JJ] is no help to DD, but the turn is a dagger in the chest [8], with no CPR on the river.
59 min: Last week’s winner Rennzzo (11th) had bad luck befall him this week as his (AA) gets run down as Nahanni’s (Js Ts) makes the flush on the river.
Break:
Nahanni 4370
Tigercub8189 4090
Acesovru 3390
TheNewY2K 3310
Douge2 2665
Akensi 2565
LittleRedElf 2515
ThePunk75 2368
Mikeniks-Faldo 1870
CrackBuyer 1387
61 min: Right off the bat ThePunk75 (10th) has his (TT) run into LittleRedElf’s (QQ).
73 min: Then Crackbuyer (9th) gets to have his (77) run into LittleRedElf’s (QQ). Needless to say the Elf is standing taller now and liking the Ladies!
99 min: Girl-on-girl action as a short-stacked Akensi (8th) has to try with her (JT) but Nahanni has (88) and no help arrives.
105 min: Having just taken a sting from TheNewY2K, Douge2 (7th) tries his (K9) but runs into Nahanni’s (A8) and doesn’t improve.
113 min: First Nahanni (6th) pushes her top pair with (KJ) and a flop of [x J x] and runs into Tigercub’s (QQ). Then with (A2), she goes all-in with (A2) only to see Mikeniks-Faldo call with (JJ) from the small blind. The break chip leader is gone – taken out by the Faldo brothers.
117 min: Acesovru (5th) tries to bluff a flop of [KTT] with (A6). But TheNewY2K is holding (T8) and is not going anywhere.
Break II:
TheNewY2K 9705
LittleRedElf 9022
Tigercub8189 5106
Mikeniks-Faldo 4667
128 min: Mikeniks-Faldo’s (4th) chance to make a move towards victory. Holding (QJ) and a flop with a [J], I go all-in. LittleRedElf calls with (77) and a [7] falls on the river. Another bubble for Faldo (# 4,114,119 – but who’s counting?).
136 min: Tigercub8189 (3rd) goes all-in with (TT) and gets called by both players – LittleRedElf and TheNewY2K. The board ends up with [QJQJx] and the Elf’s Ace plays kick the Cat.
It is heads up time and LittleRedElf has a 3 to 1 chip lead. I was not able to watch the action as the phone rang and I had to play Western Union Relay man between daughter and wife. I got back to the action in time to see that TheNewY2K now had a slight chip lead.
Sorry readers. I hope the winner will fill us in on this gap.
147 min: LittleRedElf (2nd) makes a heads up bluff with (A4) and a flop of [2QQ]. As earlier with Acesovru, Elf picked the wrong time as TheNewY2K is holding the nuts (Q2).
Congratulations to TheNewY2K and welcome to the Walk of Fame!

I'm going to say it before they get to. I never would've won if Sirgash and Nixi were playing.
I'm just on a little run, that's all. Right after your tourney, I played in an 18 person SNG, and finished 4th. A 45-person SNG and finished 4th. And a 90 person SNG and finished...wait for it...4th. A good night for me.
Y2K,
I am glad you know the root cause of this anomaly:)
Had a sick kid that didn't want to sleep...
Gratz on the win!!

Nice run Y2K. A Faldo 'rush' is usually held to a BB all fold, a SB fold and a Button raise with no callers. Then the rush is over.
Gash, hope all is well.
Mike...you got my last hand a little wrong...I was first to raise the pot and pushed with A2 and ran into your JJ with you being in the sb. Never would have called all-in with A2.
Are you going to send me your spreadsheet?
I'll fix the article Nahanni - thanks. I emailed the latest spreadsheet to you at work.
Thanks in advance for the repairs.
Faldo has placed 2 weeks in a row on the Wednesday league... I think that might trump the shock value of Y2K getting his first win:p
It certainly does Sirgash. Nice win last night by the way. You are welcome for the chips I gave you - swapping my chip lead for yours. As I have said many times - Helen Keller can read card hands better than I can.
Did my look-a-like make his presence known to the group?
Yes he did Y2K, I didn't take his chips tho...everyone else took care of that for me:p
