Jason Picks Up Win #2

It was all said and done after the first hand of heads-up play when Kevin raised to 3K from the small blind and Jason called. The flop came Kc-10s-4h and Jason checked. Kevin bet 5K, Jason moved all-in and Kevin quickly called.

Ok, again here is where I am clearly losing my mind because I didn't bother to write down what either player had. I think Kevin had like a K6 while Jason had K-10 and his two pair held to give him the win.

Sorry it was an off-week for the blog this week. We'll be back in peak form on Monday for the last weekly event before the MAIN EVENT on Saturday!

Shipwreck vs. Baconator

With the blinds at 500/1K Patrick moved all-in from the button for his final 6.6K. Jason moved all-in over the top of him from the small blind and Kevin folded.

Patrick's pocket fives were way behind Jason's pocket kings and the board was no help to him, so he wasw eliminated in 3rd place.

3-Handed Chippies

Baconator - 39.5K
Patrick - 8.3K
Jason - 7.5K

Umm.....Yeah.....

So Jeremy raised to 2.4K on the button with the blinds at 400/800. Kevin R reraised all-in from the big blind having Jeremy easily covered. Jeremy SNAP calls and turns over:

Qs-5s

Which was just a skotch behind Kevin's pocket kings. The board ran out Ac-Q-2s-As-A and Jeremy became the bubble boy.

Payouts

So, I realized I didn't write this down, but I think the payouts were something like this:

1- $125 ??
2- $60 maybe?
3 - $25

Cliff Out 6th

Cliff moved all-in for the last of his chips with KQ and Jeremy called with A-7. The A-7 made a straight and Cliff was eliminated in 6th place.

Randy Out

My handwriting is really bad and I am not exactly sure how it went down, but Randy was eliminated in 7th place.

Break Time Chip Count

Jeremy - 12.4K
Jess - 8.3K
Jason - 7.9K
Patrick K - 7.6K
Kevin R - 5.9K
Randy - 4.5K
Cliff - 3.4K

Mad Man Out

Kevin "Mad Man" M and Jason got it all-in preflop with Jason holding pocket jacks to Kevin's pocket queens. Things looked good for a Mad Man double up, but the board ran out K-10-9-X-Q to give Jason a straight and the pot.

Kevin was eliminated in 8th place.

Tootie Shipwrecked

Tootie and Patrick "Shipwreck" K got it all-in preflop with Tootie holding pocket nines to Patrick's AK. Patrick spiked an ace on the flop and a king on the turn and Tootie was eliminated in 9th place.

In a multiway limped pot the flop came 8d-7c-6d and both Kevins checked to Jason who bet 600 and then both Kevins called.

The turn was the 5d and Kevin M checked again. Kevin R bet 1.6K and Jason folded. Kevin M thought a while before folding 7-9 (for a nine-hi straight) face up. We all sat in stunned silence while Kevin R turned up Ah-5h for a pair of fives.

Final table time.

High Hand Anyone?

By the 100/200 level Jason made, I kid you not, four full houses. MBN.

Cliff Out

Blinds were 75/150 and Cliff limped in under the gun. Chet moved all-in from middle position for his last 1.5K and Cliff called with pocket tens, which were trailing Chet's pocket kings.

The kings held and Cliff was eliminated.

Jacks No Good This Time

Tim raised to 400 from the cutoff and I reraised to 1,100 total from the small blind. He moved all-in and I quickly called with my pocket aces. Tim turned over pocket jacks and said what we all were already thinking:

"The jacks are gonna win"

The flop? Oh, just Q-J-3. Imagine that.

Here is where things get bananas though. The turn is a K, so I actually have more outs now. The river? Ace! No way! So Tim is out in 13th place and I end up with around 8.5K chips.

TPFKATMW Takes One

With the blinds at 50/100 Chet raised to 300 from under the gun. Tim called from the big blind and the two saw a flop of Qc-10s-5c. Tim checked, Chet bet 600, and Tim moved all-in for 1.35K more. Chet thought a while before folding his pocket aces face up. Tim showed pocket jacks and raked the pot.

Oh Dear

Tim AKA TPFKATMW was trying to offer suggestions to remedy my equipment issues in regards to the blog. That is the context that precedes this gem right here:

"At the break we can run you upstairs and do a quickie"
