A smallish crowd of 12 peeps took it to the poker tables this week to battle it out to be the Joker of the week.  Houn and deeznz were the two unfortunate ones that didn't make the final table.  HooterHanna and spideytwo were ousted within the first 14 hands of the final table.  The tourney director (who has not fared well in his own tourney) quickly followed.  Observer chat wasn't ready again and the tourney director apologizes again.  Annieboom tried a move 31 hands into the finals with A6 with two fives showing on the board.  HurqueRock who had slyly called  from the small blind pre-flop, called with more chips.  Boom was toast when Hurque showed 56.  Hurque contined next by knocking out Jakeylove with trip 3's on the flop to Jakey's top pair of queens.   MissUB was next to go when she pushed with AJ and Mellow_Yellow calls with QQ.  Mellow takes out HurqueRock when his 99 holds up against Hurque's AK. 

 

We were down to the final three money winners:

 

 

Mellow_Yellow - 7380

Luckie in Lov - 5785

We're moving up the time for the next Jones Joker's Tourney on Wednesday night May 30th.  It will be at 10pm est.  We've had a pretty good turnout for a new tourney, but this new time may help us have a few more. I may even move it up another half hour soon, we'll just see how it goes. 

 

 

Just find the Jones Joker's tourney on the private tab under Scheduled Tournaments.  Then register for the tourney and enter jokerroom for the password.

 

A good showing of 17 peeps sat down for a ol' fashion poker session.   There was some funny hands tonight.   A lot of UB river specials.  One funny hand where JakeyLove is all in with 33 vs Milady's QQ.  A 3 hit's on the river-- Jakey is feeling dirty.  But it was short lived 'cause the Queen hit on the river...

 

We almost had an all ladies top 3, but golfnutz88 would have none of that and took a huge lead with 3 left.

 

You're final three were:

GolfNutz88 - 18760

annieboom - 3070

smokin hot 38 - 2770

 

smokin took the first double up with A9 vs golf's A3.  Not much after that Golf pushes with 10 10.  Boom picks up AK and calls.  Boom is finished off when golf hits a 10 on the river.  Smokin starts heating up when she doubles up with 1010 over golf's A10. Could there be a chance?  We're looking at an 18k vs 6k difference here.  Smokin takes a nice hand and moves up to almost 9k.  A little battle is brewing here... Not quite as easy as golf was thinking originally.  Hand 126 was it.  Smokin was in the big blind.  Golf nutz raises to not quite 3x blind.  Was that a sign?  Smokin makes a big re raise to 2375.  Golf comments and moves all in (another sign).  Smokin pauses and then calls.  Well the sign was true Golf turns over AA.  Smokin has 1010--- and that was all she wrote. 

 

Congrats to GolfNutz88!! 

 

Well played all,

An even smaller crowd of 12 peeps (making it easier for tourney director to reach the final table) duked it out until HurQueRock took the title for the week.  Your tourney director bubbles- dadgummit (33 vs AA).

 

Here's your top 3:

 

jakeylove 5010

deeznz 3360

 

It was pretty even for a time with the last 3.   HurQueRock played his many AA's well.  He took control when his AQ held up over jakeylove's A10.  Jakeylove made a nice comeback and deeznz was getting low on chips.  deeznz was disconnected and blinded out of the tourney. That left HurqueRock with a 2-1 chip lead for the final 2.  Jakey tried to battle back but it was Hurq's night with the cards.  The final hand proved that- Hurq raised 3x with the A in the hold.  Jakey moves in with QQ.  Hurq has to call now and shows A6.  The flop is 665.  Ouch.  Then just to put a nail in the coffin the A hits on the river and HurQueRocks full house knocks out Jakeylove and Hurq picks up a nice $30 for his efforts.  Jakey picks up $18 and deeznz picks up the remaining slop of $12.

 

Great job everyone!  Until next week- maybe the tourney director could actually cash or even pick up a bounty!!! :)

A smaller crowd tonight but a bunch of fun.  First note- the tourney director finally makes the final table after five attempts.  michele1024 had the privilege of going out first.   Newcomer what the ffff took the final table lead with solid play.   My good buddy annieboom was knocked out in with QQ when she ran into ffff's AA.  gjones hangs in there when he pulled a 4 out of his hat to catch trips against Jennifear's 99.  He then promptly gave his newly found chips to mellow_yellow when his the A flopped and mellow's AK beat gjones' AJ.   Jennifear was knocked out by Milady and soon thereafter gjones was knocked out by milady.  Maybe you'll cash next time tourney directory...  Boomstick went out next when his under two pair A10 on the flop didn't match fortuitousEd's fortuitous two pair AQ on the flop, always a hard way to go out.   It was a heck of a battle for the money bubble.  Mellow_yellow was looking vulnerable, but doubled up when his KK was better than what the's 77.  Milady become a card rack and was eating everyone up.  Finally what the ffff was taken out when Mellow again had KK and it beat what the's all in of A5.

 

Your money making three were then:

Milady1812 - 9110

fortuitousEd - 7660

mellow_yellow - 4830

 

The battle continued and many hands were played.  Milady increased her lead slightly and mellow continued to hover around the 4500 chip mark.   The battle kept continuing as no one would go down quickly.  Wow- what was gonna happen?  Well FortuitousEd finally went out when mellow hit a straight on the river.  Mellow was way down in chips and we all thought he was left for dead.  But after a couple of double ups it was now pretty much a tie ball game.  I thought it was over when an all in battle occured with Milady having AJ and Mellow having A10.  But this night, short wasn't the way and after the board paired up and a Q showed, it was a split.   Mellow edged his way out to a slight lead.  I think both players were getting tired as they were moving with less hands.  Finally mellow moved with K10 and Milady called with A6.  Mellow hit the 10 and finally it was done.  Mellow_yellow took home the bacon (well a nice $37.50 anyway).

 

Great job tonight everyone and ...

 

Thanks for playing!!!

A record 24 peeps (well in only 4 tournaments) showed up tonight and played some great poker.  My buddy Woooody was knocked out first.  As seems to be usual the tourney directory, yours truly, was knocked out early again when Phisterbottom caught a Q on the river and his trip Q's beat gjones KK pocket pair.  The joker room has not been kind so far to the directory, but I know things will change. :)  In top 4 action michele1024 had a big lead and all of the sudden went dead in just a few hands and was kncoked out in 4th.  Here's your top 3:

 

glenso - 15180

annieboom - 5300

 

Glenso started taking command early moving up to 20k in chips.  Drive was at 10k and Queen Joker Boom was hanging on at 4500.  Boom made a nice all in move with 88.  Drive makes the call and shows 10 J.  The flop looked good for boom as a 7 5 2 hit.  However, DriveU caught the J on the turn and boom was out in 3rd place making a nice $24.   Just two hands later it ended as I will let UB call the action:

 

Pre-flop: Glenso calls. DriveULoonie checks.

 

Flop (board: 9c Jh 3c): Loonie checks, Glenso bets 1800.  DriveULoonie raises to 7200. Glenso goes all in for 18660 and Loonie calls.  Showdown time:

Glenso: 8h Th - open ended straight draw

DriveULoonie: 3h Jc - top pair J's

 

Turn 5d, River 7s. Glenso hits the 7 for the straight to win tourney #4.

 

Congrats Glenso!!

 

Thanks everyone for making this a fantastic tourney and see you next week!!!
