It was a marathon after the 2nd break. No, we didn’t make a record 3rd break, but I don’t think we ever had such long gaps in between eliminations as we did this tourney. It is more proof that we have some serious poker players in this league.
We had 20 players make it to the virtual felt tonight – including two new players – GvSu2009 and Rjmech. Welcome Jacob and Randolph to the NPP league. On to the action!
9 min: Crackbuyer (20th) thinks it is safe to take a stab at a big pot holding (KK) and finds Addictedtoem had the case (6). That is not the last flop the lady nails on a great poker player. Who could that be I wonder? I’m just say’in.
15 min: GvSu2009 (19th) gets the patented NPP welcome for new meat. I didn’t see it but I know it almost always happens.
20 min: Jager244 (18th) I heard had his (44) killed off by RKidder51400’s flush after being called in four places! Talk about schooling and a feeding frenzy!
30 min: Short stacked LittleRedElf (17th), our current point leader, is treated rudely this evening as his (T6) is met by Akensi’s (A8) after a flop of [268].
32 min: Suetman1 (16th) has her (AQ) run into ThePunk75’s (AA). Must have been sitting in an ex-Faldo chair, Momma Sirgash.
39 min: Whilden (15th) has his (TT) get squashed by Kensik and his (AJ) with a [J] on the flop.
43 min: Theedouble*d (14th) blinds out here. His (44) had lost a coin flip to Douge2’s (AK) earlier and was too short-stacked to continue.
46 min: In a battle of two other short-stacks, Absea98 (13th) has his (TT) get bowled over by Tigercub8189’s (AJ) with an [A] on the flop AND river.
1st Break:
Douge2 6685
ThePunk75 3720
Kensik 3670
RKidder51400 2835
Akensi 2530
Rjmech 2305
Tigercub8189 2070
Mikeniks-Faldo 1905
Biglou93 1665
7Jokers 1120
Addictedtoem 970
Rennzzo 575
64 min: I, Mikeniks-Faldo (12th) refuse to believe Addictedtoem has hit the flop – HARD. I over-play my (QQ) and am shown that my Ray Charles - Stevie Wonder – Helen Keller - opponent reading ability is still on full display. The flop is [87A] and she has (A7), instead of the open-ended straight draw or flush draw I thought I was up against. I thought the [A] on the river was a nice touch also.
65 min: While doing primal screams and sticking pins in a Poker Stars voodoo doll after my debacle, I missed Rjmech (11th) and his tale of woe. Making the break is a nice showing for an NPP 1st timer.
68 min: I also missed Tigercub8189 (10th) and his bubble finish. You took my spot bro!
72 min: A short-stacked 7Jokers (9th) goes all-in with (Ts 9s) and is called by ThePunk75 with (KQ). Even though a [9] hits the flop, a [Q] is in there too.
79 min: Addictedtoem (8th) took a big hit earlier (that is what happens when someone holds Faldo’s ‘lucky’ chips) and is extremely short-stacked. She makes her stand with (A4) and is called by Rennzzo with (K2). She gets a [4] on the flop, but runner –runner [2][2] come on the turn and river. I think it is my chips that did her in.
80 min: RKidder51400 (7th) has her (A4) run into ThePunk75’s (AT).
With six players left, we battle on here for 15 minutes.
95 min: Interesting hand here. After a flop and turn of [598][7], Douge2 (6th) moves all-in with (87). After using just about all his bank, BigLou93 makes the call with (99), and the river changes nothing.
With five players left, we battle on for another 17 minutes!
112 min: The shortest stack Kensik (5th) has to try it with (Ad 6d) and a flop of [634]. ThePunk75 makes the call with (55) and a [2] hits the river again.
119 min: Fearing the Poker Stars Break Monster is a real concern. Short stacked Akensi (4th) goes all-in with (93) and a flop of [3J4] and is called by ThePunk75 with (QJ).
2nd Break:
ThePunk75 16327
Rennzzo 9268
Biglou93 4405
Ok, the big stack should make quick work of these guys, right? Uh….no - 15 minutes later….
135 min: ThePunk75 12500, Biglou95 8500 and Rennzzo 7500. What a battle!
147 min: Rennzzo (3rd) survives a couple times, but finally his (JT) is crushed by ThePunk75’s (AT)
Rennzzo’s effort here was unbelievable and shows why he is the current point leader. Due to family duties at his house, he sat out 45 minutes of the 1st hour and was down to 300 chips! He came rocketing back to finish 3rd. Great job, Rennzzo.
Heads up: ThePunk75 17500 – Biglou93 12500
155 min: Biglou 16700 - The Punk 13300
160 min: ThePunk 16000 - Biglou 14000
165 min: ThePunk 18500 - Biglou 11500
Yeah, another marathon battle of 19 minutes before:
168 min: Biglou93 (2nd) calls all-in with (JT) and sees ThePunk75’s (A8) hit two pair on the flop. Just a great fight by these two fine players and congratulations to ThePunk75 on his second NPP win!
1st – ThePunk75 20 points
2nd – Biglou93 14 pts
3rd – Rennzzo 10 pts
4th – Akensi 7 pts
5th – Kensik 5 pts
6th – Douge2 4 pts
7th – Rkidder51400 3 pts
