K9isadog Increases League Lead in Spite of Faldo's Win

Lots of bad beats, semi-bad beats and losing on flop-winning on turn and lose on river hands last night. I won it really by just avoiding the roller coaster ride everyone else seemed to be on – due to the dealer.

The severe rush of cards Faldo got once heads up with K9isadog didn’t hurt either. But K9 still made yet another final table deep run and opened up his lead on his closest pursuer – Suetman1. Only four players remain that can catch K9isadog for coveted 1st Quarter seat in the NPP Final in December – Fourbetbluff, Meatsword, Mikeniks-Faldo and of course Suetman1.

It was a rotten night for Faldo, in spite of the victory. I headed up to BWW for wings, beer, cigars, the Red Wings game and a night of poker on line with my buds. Rough duty, but I muddled thru it.

On to the action:

12 min: The torture of players started early as Funtoon (AK) and Kensik (QQ) get it all-in. The flop [AT5] gives Funtoon the early lead in this coin flip situation. But the turn is a [Q] to move Kensik back in front. The river is a [J] and Funtoon’s runner-runner straight leaves Kensik crippled.

15 min: T3chlady (26th) sees her bad luck continue. She flops a K-high straight at the exact same hand Mikeniks-Faldo flops the A-high one.

18 min: A short-stacked (SS) Kensik (25th) has to go with (AQ), but Meatsword has (KK).

28 min: Absea98 (24th). This starts a flurry of exits.
29 min: RKidder51400 (23rd).
35 min: Fourbetbluff (22nd).
36 min: A SS Pre01 (21st) goes with (AQ). Wingsfancurt calls with (AT) and hits a [T] on the flop that holds up.

37 min: Rennzzo (20th) hits a pair with (KJ) and a flop of [JA5], but Mikeniks-Faldo is holding (A3).

38 min: Odds2win777 (19th)
49 min: Gdub28 (18th)
51 min: Derf-63 (17th) calls and then goes with (A6) and a flop of [8A8]. But Douge2 has (84) in the big blind.

53 min: Meatsword (16th) goes with (AJ), but Wingsfancurt is holding (KK).
56 min: Theedouble*d (15th) tries it with (KJ) and a flop with a [K] but LittleRedElf is holding (AA).

59 min: ThePunk75 (14th)
