Welcome back everyone, we have kicked off the new year with a packed out tournament, a couple of players on the waiting list missing out on any game tonight unfortunately, friendly reminder to always get in early to guarantee a seat!
Final table of Aidan's friendly and 9 out of 10 people are keen to split the $2300 pot between them, but with one person not keen we have to carry on playing. After a couple of hours (slow tourney tonight) we get down to the top 5. Lucas, Will, John, Kirby and Danny are the lucky ones taking home some coin tonight.
Danny limps with A8, John shoves with AK, Danny calls, board 3QJK3 and Danny is gone!
Down to four and Kirby only has 20K left, she pushes all in on the small blind with AQ into Will's big blind and he has to call, with 48. Flop comes down KA5, looking good for Kirby , turn a 2 and Will needs a 3 to knock Kirby out and he finds it. Bit rough and Kirby's off to an unlucky start to the year here at DC.
Final three, John ships with 34 off into Will's JQ off. Hard to see John getting out of this one the way Will is running tonight. K 8 10 5 A, four hearts to go with Will's J of hearts and that's the end of John.
Time for Will to take on Lucas heads up, standard heads up play, we see a couple of flops, multiple folds before the final action. Lucas makes a small raise with J7 suited and Will ships it all in with Q10 off. Board comes down 829 no diamonds for Lucas to connect with. Turn is a 4, long shot on the river for Lucas needing a 10 or a 7 and he hits! River is a 10 and we have our first winner for 2016. No photo tonight cause he's a bit camera shy but congratulations to Lucas. If this tournament is anything to go by it should be a pretty exciting year! See you all next time!
