Kensik becomes the 35th player to win an NPP tourney. He did it by fighting thru one of the tightest tourneys played in this Quarter. The fact that this was the 1st ‘cut’ night (some players will not be able to get enough points to win the 1st quarter NPP Final seat), might have had something to do with it.
We may have set a record – or at least came close – as to the longest time before the 1st casualty was recorded.
We also welcomed a new player this week: Dirtmonkey06, the better half of Wwsatando, and Sirgash's sister. Although new to NPP, Dirt plays in the Wed MI Forum league, and that experience showed tonight. Welcome to NPP Dirt.
On to the action:
34 min: RKidder51400 finally exits, but I was in a hand and missed it.
35 min: Sirgash (20th) and Akensi (19th) both have their respective (KK) and (AJ) beaten by Dirtmonkey06’s (TT) with a [T] on the turn.
43 min: Mistermusic5 (18th) took a bad beat here, I heard.
51 min: Kensik’s (AA) beats TheNewY2K (17th) with (Ac Kc) and completely cripples Absea98 holding (JJ).
52 min: Tigercub8189 cleans up Absea98 (16th) the next hand.
55 min: No nub for league leader Mikeniks-Faldo (15th) tonight and my (AT) cannot catch Kensik’s (AK). My lead is in perilous danger and the sharks are schooling!
Break:
Dirtmonkey06 6990
Fusciadi 3445
Kensik 3435
LittleRedElf 3208
Jager244 2975
Wwsatando 2085
Thedouble*d 2010
CrackBuyer 1587
ThePunk75 1450
Rennzzo 1235
Suetman1 840
Nixi44 810
Tigercub8189 740
BigLou93 690
63 min: Rennzzo (14th) won’t catch Faldo tonight as his (99) loses a coin flip to Suetman1’s (AJ) with a [J] on the flop.
66 min: A short-stacked Biglou93 (13th) calls Jager244’s all-in with (Kc Jc) and finds bad news as Jager is holding (Ac Tc).
70 min: Wwsatando (12th) takes one in the chops as his suited Big Slick gets run down by CrackBuyer holding (A8) when an [8] drops on the flop.
71 min: A short-stacked Tigercub8189 (11th) moves all-in with (Ts 2s) and runs into Nixi44’s (KK).
77 min: Suetman1 (10th) earns first bubble by raising and getting called by Dirtmonkey06. The ladies see a flop of [4s 4c Kd] and it is checked down. The turn is a [Th], causing a bet by Dirt and a call by Sue. The river is a [9c]. Dirt bets her straight and Sue has to call all-in with her two pair.
86 min: Dirtmonkey06 continues wiping out smaller stacks as her (A9) overtakes the (AK) of ThePunk75 (9th) with a [9] on the flop.
I must give credit here to ThePunk75 – who has pointed in five straight rounds! Nicely done!
90 min: Jager244 (8th) sees his (A9) walk into Theedouble*d’s (AJ). This starts a twenty minute standoff with LittleRedElf staying alive with a VERY short stack (that’s what she said!) since Tigercub8189 exited early (that’s what she said!).
110 min: Theedouble*d (7th) sees his (KQ) lose the coin flip to Kensik’s (99).
111 min: LittleRedElf (6th) has to Big Blind play his (Q3) and loses to Dirtmonkey06’s (AQ). LRE is only one single point behind Faldo for the league lead!
113 min: Fusciadi (5th) loses a heartbreaker with (66) running into Crackbuyer’s (77).
2nd Break:
Dirtmonkey06 12549 (new player with the chip lead at both breaks!)
Kensik 9772
CrackBuyer 6759
Nixi44 2420
We go from four to one pretty quickly now.
123 min: CrackBuyer (4th) pushes all-in with (Ad 6d) and sees Kensik call with (K9). So far, so good. But a [9] hits the flop and Kensik overkills with a straight on the river.
Nines were hitting the board and killing people all night long.
124 min: Bad beat for Nixi44 (3rd) as she calls Kensik’s raise and sees a flop of [7h Kd As]. They both check, but a [5s] has them both pushing their chips forward like they were on fire. Nixi44 is holding (54) and Kensik (33). The two-outer [3] hits on the river.
It must be somebody’s night as only the two hot handed players - Dirtmonkey06 early {14650 chips} and Kensik late {16850} - remain. We don’t have to wait long.
127 min: Dirtmonkey06 (2nd) is all-in with (A5) and Kensik calls with (K8), and the winning [8] falls on the flop. Nice 1st round showing by Dirt!
And congratulations to Kensik and welcome to the Walk of Fame!
1st – Kensik
2nd – Dirtmonkey06

4th – CrackBuyer
5th – Fusciadi
6th – LittleRedElf

Standings are on the right side of the blog. And even though the players under the gap cannot win a seat in round 1, remember total points scored in the entire season will also win a seat or two! So stay focused and play hard. – Faldo

I think the nub those four ladies gave Faldo is wearing off.
I think my mojo is damaged by that EXTREMELY long dress the one on the left side is wearing.
What was she thinking?
I guess she was thinking that Faldo "Had A Dream"
