Denise Doubles
She just eagerly called Keith's all-in with QJ, which managed to hold against Keith's 9-10.
I miss home. I would like to go back there.

Hooey!
With the blinds at 500/1K Jason moved all-in for his last 9K, Keith called from the small blind, and Paco decided to make the most of the big pot and call, despite being the shortest stack. Here is who held what:
Jason - K-10
Keith A-8
Paco - K-Q
The flop went Keith's way, coming 8-6-4, but Paco spiked a queen on the turn to take the lead.
"Ace," Keith predicted right as the ace peeled on the river to give him two pair, two knockouts, and guaranteed second place prize money.

Randy Out
He moved all-in for his last 2.2K and Paco called from the big blind. Paco's K-10 was racing with Randy's pocket fours. The flop came K-K-2, leaving Randy drawing extremely thin. The running jacks on the turn and river were no help and Randy was eliminated in 5th place.
And Then There Were Six
Allison and Keith got tangled in a blind versus blind confrontation that ended with both of them all-in preflop. Keith once again ran his pocket sixes into pocket kings, but this time he managed to spike a six, suck out, and eliminate Allison and her baggie of pistachios in 7th place (and NO, that is NOT a euphemism)
Randy Doubles
Allison and Paco limped in and Randy moved all-in from the small blind for 1.1K more. Allison flat called, which was enough to scare Paco into folding. It was a race situation with Allison holding pocket sixes to Randy's AcJc. Randy flopped an ace but the board came A-x-x all hearts with Allison holding the six of hearts. Randy had a sweat on his hands, but he managed to fade hearts on the turn and the river to double up to 5K or so.
Baconeutered
Keith raised to 900 and Kevin "Baconator" R moved all-in for 2.8K total. It folded around to Keith who obliged by calling with J-9. He was slightly behind Kevin's A-10...until the flop came 9-9-3. Kevin was elimanted and we are left with 8.
Jason and Kevin Clash Again
Jason just doubled up when he moved all-in for his last 2.7K and Kevin "Baconator" R called. Jason held pocket tens to Kevin's AK and the tens held to double Jason up.
Final Table Time
With the elimination of Jeremy in 10th place, we are now at the final table. Here is the seating chart:
1- Paco
2- Randy
3- Jason
4- Jess
5- Denise
6- Joe D
7- Allison
8- Keith
9- Kevin "Baconator" Roark

Denise Doubles
Denise has been movin all-in every few hands for between 4 and 5K with the blinds at 150/300. Keith finally got fed up and called her with pocket sixes only to run right into her pocket kings. She doubled up to around 10K and Keith still has plenty of chips to work with.
Shipwreck....
... has been eliminated. At the hands of Keith. Who now has so many chips I am not even going to bother to count them because a "bajillion" is a sufficient estimate in my mind.
Here's a Doozie
With the blinds at 75/150 Patrick "Shipwreck" K raised to 600 under the gun and Keith moved all-in right behind him for over 5K more. Tootie tanked for a minute, stood, paced, and moved all-in as well. Patrick thought for a minute or two before folding and it was time to see the hands:
Keith had a fairly good holding of pocket nines, but they were way behind Tootie's pocket queens. The flop came 10h-6c-3h, the turn was the Jc and the river was a brutal 9c to give Keith a set and the enormous pot. He had Tootie just barely covered so Tootie was eliminated and Keith took a ginongous chip lead.

Sayanora Sam
Sam moved all-in from late position for her last 1,425 with the blinds at 75/150.
It folded around to Keith in the big blind who had a pretty hefty pile of chips. He decided to put them to use by calling with Q-9 off suit. Sam held KJ and was ahead for the moment, but the Q-8-2 flop left Sam drawing slim. The board ran out J-7 and Sam was eliminated.

Jack Chet
In a multi-way limped pot with a flop of Denise led out from under the gun for 800 into a pot of 400 or so. Chet moved all-in for 1,625 more and Denise again thought a while before calling with Kc4c for top pair with the nut flush draw. Chet was ahead for the moment with Ks-10d.
But the Ac on the turn left Chet drawing dead. He was eliminated and Denise increased her already sizeable chip stack.
Tim Totaled
With the blinds at 50/100 Denise raised to 600 in early position and Tim moved all-in for 1,125 total. Denise thought. For a while. She then decided to call the extra 525 with pocket eights, which were racing against Tim's A-K. The board ran out 6-6-5-3-7 and the eights held to eliminate Tim early in Level 2.
And We're Live!
Sorry bout the delay kids, but we are off and running. Blinds are currently at 75/150 and we have lost two players so far. Their bustout hands are coming momentarily.
