Week 40 Results
1st ($75 / 10pts): Adam "Stright Shooter" Joseph
2nd ($0/ 7pts): Margaret "The meds have kicked in..." Bridgeman
3rd ($0 / 4pts): John "Pax Romana" St Denis
Low Stakes / 10 Players / 1 Table / 1215a Endtime
The night was about as raucous as they have ever come and Lady Luck was in rare form. Astonishing cards came flying out the same little two Copag decks that have behaved otherwise reasonably for almost a year. Part of the madness was focused around our "guest" player for the evening. John SD brought his friend Ken D, and the newbie immediately embraced his rightful role as a card magnet. He pulled not one, but two Quads during the evening.
But that was merely normally amazing hands. The cards kept coming and most of them hit John SD early on. In fact he was running so hot that he had 4 Kills and 100K even BEFORE the third round! I could tell a long winded story for each of the selection of wild rounds I noted, or more simply just chart them out for all to see (and these are only about half of them):
JSD with JT // Mick M with AK // Ray F with 9c8c
Flop: Jc /Jx / 6c
