December 2016

It makes sense that the last game of the year would have the largest turn-out of the year. With 18 players, the cards were really flying. Aces were busted, boats were made on the river, and bad beats were everywhere. Kathy had a good sized lead coming into tonight's game, with only 4 people able to catch her. As each of the players dropped out, it was looking more certain that would take her first championship. She made it to the final table before she too fell out.

Bob was the only player left that could catch her and he had to take first place to do it. He made a valiant attempt, tripling and quadrupling up before he too dropped out. Sophie managed to make it to 4th pace for the prized bonus bucks, Jon finished a respectable third. That left Andrew and Barb to battle for the win.

The lead switch back a forth a few times, but Barb wore him done until she was finally able to take her first win of the year.

Here’s how the top 5 finished the year:

  1. Kathy - 343 points
  2. David K. – 300 points
  3. Bob - 293 points
  4. Jim – 281 points
  5. Jerry - 277 points

This also means that Kathy will be representing the group at the WSOP this year (unless she declines).

Thanks to all for another great year!!

November 2016

16 players made sure that this month’s live game had a lot of action. Chris managed quads twice on his run to the final table. Kathy's luck improved when she switched tables mid-way through the tournament and Zahit made his first appearance all year count in a big way.

David K. took the bonus points to improve his standing. Zahit looked like he could win it, but ended up out in third. Chris was the big stack all night, but had to get past Kathy for the win. He managed to come from behind to hit two pair and leave Kathy in second.

Kathy’s second place extends her lead – but she can still be caught!

  1. Kathy - 333 points
  2. David K. – 290 points
  3. Bob - 283 points
  4. Jim – 271 points
  5. Jerry - 267 points

This game will decide the winner. See you there!

October 2016

Last game before we vote!

There were 14 players this month and a whole new set of winners. I held on for the 4th place bonus points. Barb went out in the same hand, but had more chips so she took 3rd. Jim put up a good fight, but ended up just short as Peter took the win. Good game all!

The leader board is REALLY close now with 20 points separating 1st and 5th:

  1. Kathy - 275 points
  2. Bob - 273 points
  3. David K. – 264 points
  4. Jim – 261 points
  5. Jerry - 257 points

Only two more games, and it’s still a nail-biter! Come out in Nov. and see what happens!

September 2016

We had 16 players this month – including one newcomer (welcome Howie). First time is a charm since Howie managed to hang on and gain the bonus points for 4th place. Jim had nice solid 3rd place performance and Bob fell just short of the win in second. The win went to kathy who pretty much dominated the night (her table was offering 2 for 1 to get rid of her!).

This really shook up the top 5:

  1. Kathy - 265 points
  2. Bob - 263 points
  3. David K. – 254 points
  4. Jerry - 233 points
  5. Jim – 209 points

Just 11 points separate the top 3! With 80 or points available each month anyone can still win this!

See you next month!

June 2016

We’ll be skipping the weekend of July 4th as usual, but hope to see everyone on the 9th!

We had 13 players again for June. Bob continued his string of top 4 finishes with another 4th place this month (sorry about not giving him credit for his third place last month). Sophie had a good run and took 3rd. Jon and I battled for a little while heads-up, but I managed to get a good hand when I needed it and Jon had to settle for 2nd place. I took first (and got breakfast!).

The win pushed me into third place in the top five:

  1. David K. – 234 points
  2. Bob - 185 points
  3. Jerry - 164 points
  4. David R. – 157 points
  5. Kathy - 155 points

The year is only half over, there is still time for someone new to take the top spot.

See you in July!

April 2016

We had two full tables (16 players) for the April game. Bob took the 4th place points. Jim turned a late re-buy (blinds were 1,000 and 2,000) into a third place cash (again!). Brad took second for his first cash and Marv walked away with first place. Fun was had by all!

Here’s the Top Five update:

  1. David K. – 214 points
  2. David R. – 147 points
  3. Bob - 126 points
  4. Marv - 110 points
  5. Jon - 91 points

Still time for someone new to enter the mix! See you in May.

We had to break out the third table this month. Once again David K managed to rise above the other 16 players to take the top spot. Jon scored a nice second place. David R contiued his streak of top-3 finishes with another third place. Ed took an early lead, but barely held on to get the bonus points for 4th.

The top five now looks like this:

  1. David K. – 204 points
  2. David R. – 137 points
  3. Bob - 100 points
  4. Jon - 81 points
  5. Pam - 72 points

April's game will be the last chance to tune-up your game before we go to Cherokee!

February 2016

We had a great turnout in February (despite the late notice). With 15 players it was hard to score in the top 4. Sophie managed it with a fourth place to pick up some extra points. Kathy took 3rd place and David R. improved over his 3rd place last month to take 2nd. But, it was David K. who took the coveted first place!

The top five now looks like this:

  1. David K. – 109 points
  2. David R. – 93 points
  3. Bob - 90 points
  4. Pam - 62 points
  5. Kathy - 50 points

Lots of room for March’s game – see you then!
