It took 50 minutes to get to the final table tonight.  A bit longer than the week before.  It was just good solid poker.  A few typical UB things here and there.  Your tourney director was knocked out when his 1010 was up against KK and AA. Surprisingly medic_chicky's AA held!!  Here's your top 5:

 

Brenia - 10796

Woooody - 4800

troiano27 - 3860

hazy_cat - 3610

annieboom - 2435

 

troiano gets knocked out first when moves all in on the turn with trip 8's after Brenia makes a big raise.   Problems is Brenia had caught a straight on the turn and troiano was gone.  annieboom goes out on the bubble when she moves all in with A8. Brenia calls with AQ though and boomer was gone.  Wooody was shortstacked with about 4k in chips and Brenia and hazy had about 10k.   Woooody makes a big switcharoo with hazy when he catches a flush on the river.  Two hands later, Hazy gets it right back when he gets dealt pocket rockets.  Woooody and Hazy keep duking it out and finally Hazy get's the best of it by knocking out wooody with a straight over Woooody's two pair.  That made Brenia and Hazy fairly equal in chips with Hazy having a slight advantage.  It was a quick head to head battle.  Brenia get's AJ and raises to 600.  Hazy makes a loose call with 52 but is rewarded on the flop with trip 5's.  Brenia raises, hazy moves all in and Brenia calls and is gone.  A purrrrrfect night for the kitty. 

 

The tourney director profusely apologizes for not getting the observer chat open.  He will work on this very hard to not let it happen again.

 

Thanks for playing!!!!

16 peeps sat down tonight to duke it out at the poker tables.  A good time was had by most.    No luck for the tourney directory and master joker gjones.  After getting pummeled by an inside jab by IdBlondee catching a flush on the river, she gave Jones the full knockout about two hands later when he hit trips A's on the river, but alas, that filled up blondee's AK and gjones was first out.  It was quick getting the the final table and the blinds were still low.   Play was soon down to the final four as spideytwo (aka gjones) was catching cards and knocking people out.  Hazy_Cat was following close behind.  Here's the final four:

 

Spideytwo - 12515

Hazy_Cat - 5665

annieboom - 2960

idblondee - 2660

 

The women hung in there, but then blondee pushed on the button with A6 and ran in to spidey's 88 and blondee was out on the money bubble.  gg blondee.  Spideytwo kept increasing his lead and was dominating.  Then things unravelled quickly. Hazy pulled once from under his cat hat when he hit an 6 on the turn and his A6 knocked out booms AK.  Then just as soon, Hazy raises S2 with AK. Spideytwo calls with KQ and flops KQ.  Hazy raises, spideytwo reraises and Hazy pushes all in and that was the night.

 

Spideytwo is the 2nd Jones Joker room tourney champion!!!

19 very tough poker poker peeps sat down at the very first Jones' Joker tourney.  Two tough tables to start and not a fish could be seen.  The tourney started off in usual fashion with Jenn taking control.  She almost immediately knocked out Kate Starbird (aka papoorboy) and had the early chip lead. Kate got the honor of going out first in the first Joker tourney.

 

The final table was set after gjones' AK couldn't hold up to the weinerizer's Q10 when weiner caught a Q.  Peeps were going out fast and furious after the final table started.  The final five looked like this:

 

Top 5

10770 - weinerizer

9570 - jennifear

4490 - hurquerock

2585 - mellow_yellow

1085 - bugman22j

 

Weiner had a nice run going knocking out mellow when he called mellow's all in with a straight draw and ended up catching a pair of Js on the river to best mellow's 10s.

 

Bug took it hard when Jenn called his all in showing her pocket 7s and Bug had pocket 9's.  Jenn's mix of great play and luck helped her here when she catches a 7 on the turn.

 

Jenn then knocked out hurque when her pair of 5's held up vs hurque's AK.

 

It was down to heads up.  Jennifear had the early lead heads up but weiner made it a game by doubling up when he caught a 5 and his A5 overtook Jenn's AK.  But Jenn was too tough this night and came out the winner when her middle pair of 10's were better than weiner's pocket 6's and Jenn took the first ever Jones Joker Tourney title!!!

 

I can't think of another person (other than me-lol) that was so fitting to win this inaugural tourney.

 

Great job to all.  Thanks for playing and hope to see you next week!!!
