Faldo Wins for the 1st Time in 2015

Gisela Dulko waits breathlessly for Faldo

For the first time this year, Faldo finally got a hot run of cards at the right time. It was another cold deck night for Faldo – until late in the tournament.

At least Faldo didn’t have to endure the torture Faldo usually suffers. 

That honor went to Derf-63. He shared - on at least five occasions with the table - where he folded ‘42’ or ‘J4’ or ‘93’ or some other cheese that would have scooped a monster pot.

But alas, that’s poker.

Ok, a new first time winner in 2015 this week. Who is the next one? Be here and be that person.

On to the action:

15 min: Theedouble*d (17^th)

28 min: NixiPixie(16^th)

35 min: Pre01 (15^th)

45 min: Sanster89 (14^th)

51 min: Suetman123 (13^th)

52 min: T3chlady (12^th)

53 min: Absea98 (11^th)

54 min: Douge2 (10^th)

56 min: K9isadog (9^th)

70 min:  Wingsfancurt (7^th)

73 min:  95corolla (6^th)

97 min: Derff-63 (5^th)

Right about here is where Faldo got hot – winning all the coin flips. When you win a bunch of close hands in a row, it makes the game easy.

105 min: TattedEagle (4^th)

106 min: LittleRedElf (3^rd)

Heads up:        Mikeniks-Faldo      17000      -     Tigercub8189     8500

110 min:          Mikeniks-Faldo      17000      -     Tigercub8189     8500

112 min: Tigercub8189 (2^nd) sees his (AT) lose a coin flip to Faldo’s (55).

That Looks Like Double Jeopardy to Faldo

Faldo says, "Quit blocking the TV and bring me a beer."

Rjmech Wins Three in a Row in the 2015 Second Quarter!

Three cheers for Rjmech!

Well, we can’t seem to stop him. Ever since he escaped a tournament exit – short-stacked and with only 3 outer chance to survive, that he hit – Rjmech has been unbeatable. He took that survival luck in that one moment and proceeded to roll to victory.

The cards gave him a half – inch. He took 3 miles!

The next two tournaments have been a clinic on how to win one or two table tournaments.

Rjmech takes total control of the 2^nd quarter and takes the lead in the total points race.

Folks, you have to be here if just to learn how to play poker.

This has been a year at NPP like no other. We have multiple week winners winning every week. The ‘average’ player cannot get a seat at the Winner’s table.

Is Faldo discouraged? No – because Faldo loves watching excellence.

Rumor has it Rjmech will miss next week due to live action poker somewhere.

Hint – hint.

On to the action:

25 min: Tigercub8189 (13^th)

43 min: Wingsfancurt (12^th)

46 min: Tomservo2 (11^th)

47 min: Derf-63 (10^th)

50 min:  ThePunk75 (9^th)

52 min: Sanster89 (8^th)

56 min: Douge2 (6^th)

57 min: Rachael0388 (5^th)

58 min: Suetman123 (4^th)

59 min: Mikeniks-Faldo (3rd)

62 min: Absea98 (2^nd) loses when Rjmech hits a straight.

Congratulations to Rjmech on his 22^nd NPP win!

Rjmech Wins for the 2nd Time in 2015

Waiting for Rjmech on the NPP private beach.

Don’t give this man chips. He knows how to use them as a weapon better than anyone Faldo has ever seen.

Rjmech took a failed bluff – still hit a four-flush that vanquished a worthy opponent (Faldo) - and rode the doubled stack to victory.

That is what a winner does – takes full advantage of lady luck when she smiles on you.

T3chlady moves into the first place lead as her finishes in the first two events outpoints the separate winners of the events. Sometimes consistency out-lasts short brilliances.

Ten rounds left in round 2. Get in here!

On to the action:

7 min: 8thmile (15^th)

12 min: LittleRedElf (14^th)

22 min: Absea98 (13^th)

25 min: Douge2 (12th)

30 min: Derf-63 (11^h)

33 min: Wingsfancurt (10^th)

75 min: T3chlady (5^th)

86 min: Suetman123 (4^th)

90 min: K9isdog (3rd)

95 min: Tomservo2 (2^nd) had a open ended straight draw but couldn’t catch Rjmech’s pair of Jacks.

Congratulations to Rjmech on his 17th NPP win!
