Peasant finds a way into the castle

Tonight we had 21 players sign up for the Wednesday $30 R/A. The prize-pool got to $2340.

Top four in the $$ this week were, Greg, Alex, Sheldon and Andrew.

4th place went to Andrew, he pushed it in pre-flop for 11,500 with A5 and got the call from Greg with *the mutt* K9 off. Greg spied a King in the window and his pair held up.

Three way play went on for over an hour, at stages the players were almost dead even.

The next out in 3rd place was Greg.  Alex shoved and Greg called him with A5 - Alex had K7.  Community cards came out 7 Q 5 6 T. Alex's pair of 7 was good enough to send Greg home.

Final two were Sheldon and the Peasant himself, 9-4 pro, Alex El-Mayo.  The final hand was a real tribute to the Peasant community of Dunedin and abroad.  Pre-flop, Sheldon limps on the button, Alex checks.  Flop 3 9 3. High Peasant Alex checks, a bet is sent his way from Sheldon, Alex calls.  The turn a 6, the river a 10.  Alex gathers his chips and goes all-in. Sheldon calls and reveals 2 bullets.  In true Peasant style, Alex reveals the pre-flop nuts.... 3 4 off.  Well done to Alex and all his loyal fans.
