I don’t know how to stop him and I don’t think the rest of NPP has figured it out either! He just rolls on with two wins and a second in his last three NPP starts!
Seventeen players showed up on the first really warm evening of the year – and the Red Wings on TV in a playoff game.
Down eleven from our record setting attendance last week, and right after my pep talk posting about recruiting. I guess motivating just comes natural to me.
On to the action:
16 min: Amyada19 gets hurt as her (AA) (88%) loses to Derf-63’s (44) (11%) with a [4] on the turn.
23 min: Kensik (17th) gets crippled as he is all-in with (AQ) and a flop of [9A2], but TresStooges is holding (AA). Ken goes out the next hand.
39 min: No repeat winner as Theedouble*d (16th) has his (A3) lose to Funtoon’s (QT) with a [Q] on the flop.
46 min: Akensi (15th) slow plays her (KK) pre-flop and on a flop of [JA6] moves in with LittleRedElf, but he is holding (JJ). LRE will continue this all evening.
50 min: Absea98 (14th) gets all-in on the turn with (A9) and a board of [4982] but loses to Derf-63’s (88).
53 min: Smookie27’s (13th) all-in with (Ac Ks) gets double-teamed with Biglou93’s (As Js) and Douge2’s (Ah 8h). The heart flush ends the German firefighter’s evening (early morning there). This hand did open up the action before the break.
54 min: Now short-stacked Biglou93 (12th) tries it with (A7), but Douge2 kills Lou again – this time with (96) and a flop of [3K6].
55 min: Amyada19 (11th), who had been nursing a bruised stack since early in the tourney, finally goes with (Qc Jc) and is called by the big blind Sirgash with (35) and Derf-63 with (As Qs). Sirgash even spikes some chips from Derf as the flop comes [338].
1st Break:
Funtoon 4180
TresStooges 3535
LittleRedElf 3450
Mikeniks-Faldo 2935
Sirgash 2695
Douge2 2145
Derf-63 2010
ThePunk75 1820
Wingsfancurt 1380
Bigbrimar 1350
64 min: Short-stacked Bigbrimar (10th) goes out on a bad beat that I did not see. Hopefully, the comment section will explain. Short stacks seem to get bad beat – a lot - on line.
66 min: ThePunk75 (9th) sees his (AK) get run down with a river [J] against Wingsfancurt holding (Js Ts).
77 min: Douge2 (8th) moves in with (A5) and a flop of [A63]. He has a lot working, but LittleRedElf’s (AJ) holds up.
83 min: Derf-63 (7th) is a non-believer and goes all-in with (77) and a board of [K46K] and is called by LittleRedElf with (K5)! Ouch!
99 min: TresStooges (6th) thinks his (JJ) is good with a board of [536], but Wingsfancurt is holding (65).
102 min: LittleRedElf calls the blind and only the Big Blind, Sirgash remains. The flop is [Ks 7s 9d]. Sirgash makes a triple blind bet; LRE doubles it with a raise. Gash re-raises LRE’s amount and LRE calls. The turn is the [9h].
LRE checks and Sirgash moves all-in with (82) and a stone cold bluff. First class poker, but LRE rings him up, calling with top pair (KT). Two great plays from two great players.
I call that bet, and Sirgash has quad 9’s. I try that bluff and even people on another table would call me.
Anyway, Sirgash is crippled and LRE is now chip heavy.
105 min: Chip leader LittleRedElf raises a blind amount and 2nd in chips Wingsfancurt makes the call. Here we go, I’m thinking!
Flop, a possible action heavy [AQ6]. I am correct as LRE with (AT) bets enough to cover Curt and he calls, with (AQ). We have a new chip leader!
108 min: Short-stacked (but not the shortest as Faldo usually has that distinction) Sirgash (5th) moves all-in with (Kc Tc) and a flop of [898] and is called by Wingsfancurt with (KQ). Wow! No help for Gash on the turn or river.
113 min: Mikeniks-Faldo (4th) bubbles for the money as his all-in with (KJ) (63%) gets called by LittleRedElf with (Q9). A [J] on the flop, pairs Faldo (85%), but a [Q] on the turn ends the host’s night. At least it was not the river this time. A quicker death is preferred.
They say you cannot be mad if you got your money in with the best hand. That is what they say. ………They say that……….They do. So Faldo cannot be mad. They say you cannot. They do. Is it ok if I don’t feel happy? Cause I don’t. I’m just sayin.
117 min: Funtoon (3rd) calls all-in with (44) and a full board of [56579], but LittleRedElf is holding (J8) for the straight. Congratulations to Funtoon on his first NPP points!
Heads up: Wingsfancurt 16500 – LittleRedElf 9000
120 min (2nd Break): Wingsfancurt 12250 – LittleRedElf 13250
125 min: Wingsfancurt 14750 – LittleRedElf 10750
129 min: LittleRedElf took over the chip lead and it all goes in on a flop of [A9K] with Wingsfancurt holding (K8) and LittleRedElf holding (AJ) for the higher pair.
Congratulations also to Wingsfancurt on his first NPP points!

I fixed it Tres. Thanks for the catch.
Had a baby last week, sorry I missed it. :(
Tripp AA
Congratulations Tripp!!!!
Priorities - so we all understand.
Because I am a compassionate man, I would wait a week before disciplining your wife for not having the courtesy to wait until after Tuesday to have the baby.
Wait a little while, but that sort of inconsiderate behavior should not be tolerated.
