Holy Chet!
Tim and Tim Jr...er...I mean Chet have agreed to a deal and Chet has been declared our winner. Congratulations on your first cash of the series Chester!
Joe D Out in 3rd
Chet raised out of the small blind, which was enough to put Joe all-in for his last 4.5K. Joe held 3-10 while Chet had pocket nines. The nines held and Joe was eliminated in 3rd place.
Tim Doubles Again
Joe limped from the button, Tim completed the small blind, and Chet raised to 8K total from the big blind. Joe folded, leaving 7.5K behind and Tim decided it was tim to "eff" it and called off his last 5.5K with J-4.
Chet held A-3, which couldn't hold after Tim flopped a jack. He doubled up to around 15K and Joe is our short stack.

Bubble Girl
I missed the details of the hand, but I regret to inform you that Sam is our bubble girl this evening.
TPFKATMW Doubles Up
Samantha completed the small blind and Tim checked his option in the big. The flop came 7c-5h-3h and Sam checked to Tim, who moved all-in for his last 4K.
Sam turned to me and said, "I have a pair and a flush draw. What would you do?"
I promptly hid my face while she deliberated and eventually called with 3-4. Tim was ahead with his Q-5 and the board ran out 5-8 to give him the pot and double him up to around 10K.

Chet Makes a Big Call
On a flop of Ac-Kd-2d Samantha bet 1.4K from the small blind, Tim called from the big blind, and Chet called from under the gun.
The turn was the 4c and Samantha led out for 4.8K. Tim folded, leaving 4K in his stack and Chet called. The river was another 4 (not a diamond) and Sam fired 6K.
"You have A-4 don't you?," Chet asked. He laughed at Sam's reaction, thought for a couple of minutes and called.
"Good call," said Sam and she mucked her cards.
"I have an ace," Chet said. He then finished counting out his 6K river call, placed it in the middle of the table, and then raked back the entire pot.

Sam Doubles Again
Undeterred by the chopped pot the previous hand, Joe raised to 4K and Sam moved all-in on the button for 5.9K more. Joe called with pocket nines and he was racing against Sam's A-Q. The K-K-5 flop looked good for Joe, but the A on the turn gave Sam the lead and the pot. She now has 20K or so while Joe dropped to just over 9K.
A Lot of Hype for Nothing
Joe raised to 3K on the button and Tim AKA TPFKATMW moved all-in for 4.7K more in the big blind. Joe called and had Tim in bad shape with AK to Tim's A-6. However, the board ran out 10-5-5-10-2 and the two split the pot with two pair, ace kicker.
Chet Keeps Betting
After moving all-in preflop and applying pressure in several post-flop situations, Chet has now built up his stack to 27.1K in chips. Joe is his next closest competitor with 14K.
The money bubble has slowed play down, as usual, and I am watching my hope of being out of here before 11pm fading into the distance.
It Sure Is Breezy In Here
Joe raised to 1.8K and Paul called out of the small blind. The flop came Qs-10d-7h and Paul checked. Joe bet 2.5K and Paul check-raised all-in for 6.4K more. Joe had Paul slightly covered. He paused briefly and called with his pocket aces, which Paul was definitely not happy to see, as he held pocket kings.
The aces held and Paul was eliminated in 6th place.
The aces held and Paul was eliminated in 6th place.
Sam Doubles Up
Samantha recently doubled through Joe when her pocket kings held up against his A-Q. At one point Joe had a dominating chip lead, but he has now dropped to right around 10K in chips and back into the middle of the pack.
TPFKATMW
Paul and Tim AKA TPFKATMW limped into the pot and Patrick moved all-in from the button for 4.4K total. Paul folded and Tim decided to call with KQ, which wasn't in terrible shape against Patrick's A-10. Shipwreck spiked a ten on the flop, but Tim hit a queen on the river and eliminated Patrick in 7th place.
Paul Doubles
Joe limped in early position and Paul moved all-in on the button for 5.2K total. Joe thought for a minute and decided his pocket fives were likely racing. Turns out they weren't, as Paul held pocket jacks. The jacks held and Paul doubled up to around 11K.
Joe is a Poker Serial Killer
Randy moved all-in from under the gun for his last 2K and it folded around to Joe in the big blind. Joe, who has I kid you not, 40K in chips, called with 7h10h.
Randy showed Ks9h and the flop came out Qd-8c-8h. Joe's hand improved with the 7d on the turn and got even better with a 10s on the river.
Joe's pair of tens were good and Randy was eliminated in 8th place.
Tristan Out
A short-stacked Tristan moved all-in for his last 1,200 and a monster stacked Joe D called. Tristan's Ad-3h was slightly ahead of Joe's Kd-Js and things were looking up for Tristan as the board ran out 10s-5s-2h-10h, but the Ks on the river sent the pot Joe's way and eliminated Tristan in 9th place.

Joe Knocks Off Another One
Joe raised to 900 and Kevin R called out of the small blind. The flop came Qs-6s-5c and Kevin moved all-in for 4.25K. Joe didn't think much before calling with his pocket aces, which were in good shape against Kevin's 6-7. The cards ran out Q-2 and Kevin was eliminated on the final table bubble.
Quote of the Night
Samantha stepped away from the table to tend to some business and Kevin R tried his best to slow down the action so she could make it back in time to see her hand. Unfortunately for her, we had to fold her hand.
When she got back to her seat, she turned to Kevin and said, "Sorry, it wouldn't stop."

Denise Hot On Rachel's Heels
Mere moments after Rachel's elimination, Denise was knocked out in 11th place on the other table.
Rachel Rayed
Joe raised to 900 from the cutoff and Rachel moved all-in for 1625 total. Joe called with A-J, which was a little bit behind Rachel's pocket kings.
However, there was an ace in the door as the flop came Ah-6s-4h. The 4d on the turn and 2s on the river were no help to her and she was eliminated in 12th place.

Girl Fight
In a multi-way limped pot the flop came 4-7-8 rainbow and Rachel and Sam entangled in a war of aggression that resulted in Sam being all-in holding 5-6 for a flopped straight while Rachel had pocket fours for bottom set. The board failed to pair and Rachel was left with around 2K in chips while Sam increased her already substantial chip stack.
Joe D Silences the Mad Man
On a board reading Ac-2c-2s Joe D and Kevin "Mad Man" M got in a raising war that ended when Kevin moved all-in and Joe reluctantly called thinking his AdKd was behind AQ.
Turned out he had Kevin's A-10 outkicked and Kevin was eliminated.
Bad Beat
Overheard at the other table:
Chet: "Patrick befuddles himself"
Patrick: "It's not the first time that ever happened"
This occurred after Denise flopped the nut flush only for Patrick to deal the turn and river to put a backdoor straight flush on the board. To make matters worse, it doesn't count for the high hand because one of the cards in their hand has to play in order for it to count.
Dear Wifeys
If either of these men are your husband, they are on the way home as we speak, as they have been eliminated:
Baconation
In a multi-way limped pot, several players saw a flop of 8h-7d-2c. Rachel bet out 350 from the big blind and it folded to Kevin R, who moved all-in for 700 total. Everyone else folded and Rachel called with A-7.She was ahead for the moment as Kevin held 9-10 for the open ended straight draw. The 6 on the turn completed his straight and Rachel caught another seven on the river, but her trips were no match for his straight.
Kevin Squared
Kevin "The Baconator" raised to 150 in middle position and Kevin "Mad Man" M quickly made it 300 behind him. Everyone else folded while Kevin R elected to call.
The flop came K-J-3 and Kevin R led out for 400. Kevin M called. Both check when the second king fell on the turn and checked again after a blank on the river. Kevin R turned up J-3, or as folks around these parts call it, the Ernie, for a counterfeited two pair. Kevin M showed A-J for kings and jacks with an ace, which was good enough to win the pot.
Man Down
Tootie is our first elimination of the evening. He was all-in for his last 225 and got called by half the table. His AQ could not hold up against Mad Man's 4-5 so he is out the door in 16th.
Rachel Shows Em Who's Boss
Rachel limped in from under the gun, Dan Wu raised to 150, and Kevin M. called. Tootie and I completed from the blinds and Rachel called as well.
The flop came Ks-10s-4d and it checked to Dan who bet 400. Kevin "Mad Man" M quickly called, Tootie called, I folded, and Rachel check-raised all-in for 3K more. Dan and Kevin folded with relative ease, but Tootie thought for quite a while before folding what he claimed was K-10.
