This field is just too tough to wade thru every week. So I am savoring this one. I’d like to thank all the ‘little people’ who had a role in helping me attain this honor.
I said I’d like to thank them. But I can’t. I did it all myself!
We had thirty players in this one. And NPP would like to welcome three new players to the family; Angiebell10, CSB33 and Tigertown369. It is great to have you all here.
Suetman1 made yet another final table as she gradually closes the gap between her and an absent K9isadog for the 1st Quarter lead.
On to the action:
4 min: Angiebell10 (30th) gets the standard NPP greeting for new players. Don’t worry Angie. We get friendlier AFTER your rookie night.
13 min: Well, maybe we don’t, as one of our veterans, Tomservo2 (29th) sees his (AA) lost to Tigertown369’s quad deuces!
18 min: Douge2 (28th) with (KK) loses to trip nine’s on the river! Ouch!
22 min: Merhibka (27th).
24 min: No repeat for Vanettej (26th).
42 min: Midway2933 (25th).
45 min: Wingsfancurt (24th).
46 min: CSB33 (23rd).
47 min: ThePunk75 (22nd).
49 min: Akensi (21st).
50 min: Derf-63 (20th).
1st break:
Theedouble*d 4650
Gdub28 4240
LittleRedElf 3480
Fourbetbluff 3415
Suetman1 3085
Mistermusic5 3055
Pingsticks 2655
Nicklittle 2620
Bubba627 2593
Meatsword 2410
Absea98 2165
Kensik 1947
Mikeniks-Faldo 1900
Biglou93 1580
Tigertown369 1400
Rennzzo 1295
BigDaddyTman 1095
Pre01 865
Tigercub8189 550
The little stacks revolted on the tyranny of the upper class tonight. Even if they didn’t final table, many of the small stacks at the first break held on for quite a while!
64 min: BigDaddyTman (19th) and Tigercub8189 (18th) are not two of them as LittleRedElf rivers a straight on them.
68 min: Tigertown369 (17th) with (AQ), thinks he might have something with a flop of [K6Q], but Meatsword has (KQ).
73 min: Rennzzo (16th) thinks his (KQ) will double up against LittleRedElf’s (QJ), but a [J] lands on the flop. The Elf’s magic is starting to kick in.
78 min: A short-stacked (SS) Kensik (15th) sees his (A2) get nipped by Fourbetfluff’s (A3).
93 min: The battle raged for a while, until a SS Meatsword (14th) with (KQ) cannot win the coin flip against Suetman1’s (88).
99 min: Biglou93 (13th) fought the great fight, but ran into Absea98’s (QQ).
100 min: Absea98 does his best LRE impression as his (77) out-lasts Mistermusic5’s (12th) (Ah Jh).
103 min: A tough night for the break chip leader Theedouble*d (11th). First he runs into Mikeniks-Faldo’s straight flush. Then he has to try and survive an AIPF (Jd Td) against LittleRedElf (AJ). Uh…..no.
105 min: Fourbetbluff bubbles (10th).
110 min: Pingsticks (9th) (J4) pairs the flop [Q84] and decides to push Nicklittle (AJ) off the pot. He doesn’t go and when the turn and river is [8Q], Ping has fatal kicker problems!
2nd Break:
Mikeniks-Faldo 10565
Suetman1 9007
Nicklittle 6270
LittleRedElf 5600
Budda627 3943
Pre01 3935
Absea98 3900
Gdub28 1780
132 min: Nicklittle (8th) goes with (99) and Gdub28 calls with (AQ) and pairs.
144 min: Suetman1 (7th) has to go with (55), and Mikeniks-Faldo – who had failed on three straight attempts to knock people out with the best hand – decides to try to knock someone out with a weak hand (KJ). He does when a [J] flops.
148 min: A SS Absea98 (6th) goes with (A9), but cannot catch Gdub28’s (AK).
151 min: LittleRedElf (5th), who got some nub early with lesser hands, sees his (AQ) lose to Budda627’s (KJ) as Budda runner-runnered a straight. Ouch!
150 min: Pre01 (4th) has to go with (KT) and a flop of [AT3], but Gdub28 has (AT).
160 min: A SS Budda627 (3rd) has to try with (Q9), but cannot catch Mikeniks-Faldo’s (88).
Heads up: Gdub28 26800 - 18200 Mikeniks-Faldo
163 min: Gdub28 goes with (KQ) but Faldo is holding (AJ) and it holds up. This reverses the lead on the stacks.
164 min: Gdub28 (2nd) has to go with (A3) but Faldo is holding (QQ) and it holds up.
Congratulations to Gdub28 on a nice run.
1st – Mikeniks-Faldo – 24 points
2nd – Gdub28 – 19 points
3rd – Budda627 – 15 pts
4th – Pre01 – 12 pts
5th – LittleRedElf – 9 pts
6th – Absea98 – 7 pts

Nice job Mike!!
I see my poker lessons paid off.
Congrats Mike!
I caught a horrible beat. I flopped sevens full of sixes while Suetman1 to my left had flopped quad sixes. I guess I deserved it for making her bubble last week, lol.
Congratulations.
This is more proof why you are better than me at Poker.
Congratulations.
These accomplishments of yours leave me in awe.
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”
You are proof of that.
“Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment.”
“All money means to me is a pride in accomplishment.”
You can't let it get you down when somebody knocks you out of a tournament playing a hand they shouldn't have played. Without these types of players, nobody would win any amount of money, so sometimes you just have to take your medicine.
Shallow men believe in luck.
Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding poker cards [sic] than holding hands?
"I have brains and a uterus, and I use both."
Do you believe in love at first sight or do you want me to walk by again?
Is that shirt felt? No? Would you like it to be?
Good game, Mike. It was almost a pleasure losing to you - nah!
Good job Mike! You played well and got some cards at key moments. A champion is one who takes the opportunity to win. I look forward to play in your league every chance I get. Keep up the good work!
