Hey folks,

 

13 people sat down tonight to go for the top Joker.  As usual there were some really good hands.  You just never know what to expect. 

 

Before I get started- a couple of Kudos.  Congrats to Michele1024 who won the 7:30 rebuy the other night and won something like $1700.  Congrats as well to Chip Leigh who came in 1st in a $35 bounty.  He cashed a cool $2900.  Wow!    Congrats as well to burldog44 who qualified for a $250 entry in December. 

 

Michele had a lot of the luck at the final table.  She had AA at least twice.  Once when I raised with JJ and she reraised.  Luckily I folded.  However, she got me soon after with JJ when I moved all in with 33.  Why is it the other person always has the overpair??  LOL.  Isn't it easier to remember the ones you lost than the ones you won?  We're down to 4 right now.  KingFlop (who got unlucky several times) went out in 5th.  Here's our 4:

 

michele1024 - 12825

deadmanshand_ - 4095

idblondee - 1295

mellow_yellow - 935.

 

1st hand out of the break michele flops trip K's with one in her hand.  It must be her night.  Man- she's really impressive as a player. deadmanshand_ just took out mellow with Q5 (hitting two pair) over mellow's A6.  Dang- next hand deadman just takes out blondee with 66 vs Q3.  We're already heads up!  Michele has a 2-1 chip lead with 12k to 6k.    Deadman just flip flops the lead with michele.  Deadman had 99 and michele had A6.  After a 6 on the flop and deadman moving all in michele went for the risk and called.  But deadman's 9's held.  Michele takes a hand and it's dead ~ 12900 and michele 6500.   Michele has played a few nice hands and now we're even in chips- 9k each.  A great battle going on here..  Well - it's over.  Deadman raises pre flop to 1300.  Michele makes a move and reraises. Deadman puts her all in and she calls.  deadman shows AQ and michele show KQ.   Michele didn't catch the K and we have our winner!  It's deadmanshand_!  Great job to everyone.

 

Hope to see everyone next week.  Let's shoot for 20 players!

Hey folks,

 

13 people sat down tonight to duke it out for top Joker.  Fittingly Annieboom took the title!     It was nice seeing saxman1959 tonight, although he went out first.  It took a bit of time to get 3 out to hit the final table.  Strange not having manbearpig at the top, since he had won the last two in a row.  One by one, they went and we were down to the last four.  Although I like and enjoy everyone I play with, I have to admit that tonight was how I would envision it being.  Annieboom, bsufan (aka Idblondee) and Mellow_yellow are definitely my closest buddies and it was a blast fighting it out with them for the title.  Boom had a pretty good lead and the other 3 of us were fairly close in chips.   I took out Blondee first and then had Annie dead when my KK was all in against her AJ.  But alas, she hit the straight and I was gone.   At this point mellow didn't have much of a chance with annie's chip stack, but he valiantly dueled until his death about 10 hands later.  Annieboom was the winner! 

 

I appreciate everyone supporting the Joker tournament!   I'd love to get the tourney up to about 20 peeps, so spread the word and play when you can!

 

Thanks all!!
