Terminator Says "See ya Latta"

Another great night of poker with a huge week in Dunedin with Ed Sheeran playing later this week and the short week with Otago Anniversery day on Monday and the long Easter Weekend comming up.  Still we had 17 loyal eager players making the effort to battle it out for our Wednesday Night Terminator Bounty Tournament.

17 players rocked up tonight to battle it out for a total prize pool of  $1513 plus another $425 in bounty's.  This included 36 Rebuys and a massive 42 Addons.

Top 3 places paid tonight with 1st paying $755, 2nd $455 and 3rd $305.  Not a bad pay day for 17 entries.

Straight after the rebuy period and players were dropping like flys.  Bubble tonight went to Mok who was knocked out by Chris R.  Mok looks at 8c 9c and shoves, Chris looks at A A and shoves all in and Mok calls, flop comes 10 10 3, turns a 5 and river an 8 and Mok out in 4th but takes 2 bounties for his effort.

Finally 3 we had Chris, Gary and Noel who again for the 2nd time missed the bubble position.  Leaving in 3rd place we had Chris with J 7 up against Gary with K Q, flop comes 3 3 K, turns an A and river a J, Chris out in 3rd taking away $305 plus another $50 for his 2 bounties.

Heads up and Gary and Noel do a deal both taking away $550 each leaving $110 plus one bounty to play for.  And they both wanted the extra cash as this heads up game went on for about 25 minutes. 

Final hand and Gary was forced all in with just one big blind having been crippled by Noel in the previous hand.  Gary had 10 8 up against Noel with K Q, flop comes A Q A, turns a 6 and river a 5, Gary out in 2nd taking his $550 plus another $75 for his 3 bounties, Noel taking out one bounty for the whole tournament but the only one he needed.  Noel takes $660 plus $50 for his kill and his own bounty.

♠♥♣♦ Pocket Rockets Bring Home the Bounty ♠♥♣♦


We had 18 players turn up for this month's Deepstack Tournament. The Terminator 300. With a prizepool of over 3k and Bounties of $100 up for grabs, the competition was fierce.

Aggressive play saw some early knock-outs. One hand in particular saw Gary all-in with KK with two callers, both holding AA. Though it didn't look great for Gary, he flopped the set tripling his stack and seeing him to the final table.

The final four left in the tournament were Mok H, Chris R, Aaron M and Noel L.

Chris went all-in with Q-2(h). He had two callers; Mok with A-K(s), and Aaron with A-6(h). Board of K-J-9-5-J and all flush draws dead saw Mok's two-pair take the pot, and Chris bubbling.

Next hand to do some damage was a board of Q-Q-2-Q-5 between

Noel and Aaron. Quietly checking the turn, Aaron shoved on the river with a confident K-K, however Noel threw down Q-4. Finally Noel claims his first Bounty and Aaron walked away with 3rd place.

The last hand (the first hand of the new dealer) saw Mok going all-in with K-Q. Noel called and showed pocket A's. Board 4-10-2-10-2 left very little for Mok, but awarded Noel the pot, another Bounty and of course the win. A quiet achiever throughout the tournament, but he brought it home in the end. Congratulations.

Watch this space to see when our up-and-coming tournaments are and we'll see you on Wednesday for the weekly Terminator Tournament.

2 In a Rowe For Terminator

Wednesday night and it was an exciting fun night again for the players that showed up for our Terminator Bounty Tournament.

Numbers were down tonight due to a lot of players travelling to Christchurch for the 2018 Wellington Poker Champs played this year at Christchurch Casino. 

Right away tonight we had 16 money thirsty players battling it out for a share of $1468 plus another $400 in bounties up for grabs.  Even with 16 players we still had 29 rebuys and a massive 47 Addons.

Tonight we paid the top 3 places with $735 for 1st, $440 for 2nd and $295 for 3rd place.

We were down to the final table pretty quickly after the break with some real aggressive play from both the tables in play.  Out in 5th place was Jacob in a massive 3 way all in with J J up against Hayden with A Q and Chris S with K K, flop comes 5 4 A, turns a 10 and river a 9 adding another bounty to Hayden.

Tonight's bubble in 4th place went to Martin with K 8 up against Chris S with J 10, flop comes 9 5 3, turns an A and river a J!  Martin rivered and out in 4th.

Last 3 players and Chris was short stacked against Greg and Hayden, he looks at K 3 and shoves, Greg calls with J 8, flop comes 8 3 2, turns a 10 and river a 10, Chris out in 3rd place but still taking away $295 for 3rd place plus 5 bounties for the night.

Heads up and Greg was up by about 30% over Hayden's chip stack, however Hayden puts on the pressure and battled back to take the advantage, then final hand Greg shoves with A 3 and Hayden calls quickly with 8 8, turn comes Q K 10, turns an 8 giving Hayden trips and river a 2.  New comer Greg taking away $440 for 2nd place plus another $100 in bounty's.  Hayden taking a brilliant win taking $735 for 1st and $75 in bounty's.

Another action packed night of poker!

Hey - DONE!

Nineteen players ventured forth to compete in tonight's Wednesday Terminator.
41 rebuys and 47 add-ons took the prizepool to a tasty $1705 with a further $475 up for grabs in bounties.

1st - $770
2nd - $475
3rd - $290
4th - $170
Bounties - $475

Action was thick and fast before slowing up a bit on the final table as players jockeyed for position. At the bubble the pressure was on Noel as the short stack and he managed to double up with J2 offsuit. Hayden quickly had his revenge though as Noel's QJhh ran into Hayden's KK. The flop brought Noel some hope with QT3 giving him top pair. However running 8s were no further help and Noel racked up yet another bubble. 
In the cash and the short stacks had licence to shove. Chris looked to pick up some chips from the SB, shoving his T7off into Josh's small stack. Josh however was not in the mood to fold his BB and called with J8. To the flop of QT3, which gave Chris the lead with a pair, and after a couple of bricks, Josh's bounty. Josh out in 4th.
The next big hand came when Sheldon raised from a healthy stack with KQ, Chris then shoved with A3 which Sheldon then called. When the flop came A73 Chris had a mortal lock on the hand with his Aces up, and won huge pot of over 120k. Crippled from the previous hand Sheldon found himself all in with 72 against Heyden's pocket 2s. They say twos never lose, and so it proved when the turn brought the case 2 to give Heyden a set and Sheldon was drawing dead, out in 3rd.
Heads up was a fairly brief affair with both players being dealt pocket pairs and putting all the chips in. Heyden with 44 and Chris an 81% favourite with 99. But nothing seemed to be able to stop Heyden tonight and a 4 in the window flipped those percentages. Chris had a backdoor straight draw to go with his higher set draw, but not tonight. Heyden taking down the pot, the tourney and $770 for 1st. With his eleven bounties(more than half the field), This took his total winnings to over a grand for the night. Well done Heyden, Great effort!
