The Return of the Peasant King


A Good turnout for our Thursday $10 Turbo with 25 players competing for the prize.  Tonight we also had a bounty on Bill Lu for one of our awesome poker caps.  To win it, all you had to do was knock him out, but Bill "On the River" Lu managed to cash so he becomes the first player to win his own bounty, well done Bill!

Top 4 of the tournament were Alex M, Bill L, Evalyn and Daez.

One of the interesting hands of the night was when Daez straddled all in for $32K.  He is called by Evayln who has Q9s, while Daez is holding J8.  Flop comes out K-Q-9, a strong start for Evalyn.  The turn rolls a T, giving Daez a straight!  To rub salt in the wounds, the river is an A which makes his straight even better.

First of the knockout hands, Daez was all in with 65s against Alex who has A6s.  Flop comes out 4-9-J with an A on the turn.  At this point Daez is drawing dead, and on the river we see an irrelevant deuce.  Daez is knocked out by Alex.  He has definitely seen better "Daez"

Next up, Evalyn goes all in with AQ to be called by Alex who has pocket 4’s.  On the flop we get J-3-9, not great but still a chance for Evalyn.  8 on the turn, not really helping and the river was a 2.  Evalyn is out in third place leaving Alex and Bill heads up.

Last hand of the night Bill goes all in with T8 and Alex calls it with A9.  Flop delivers a 6-Q-K, and the turn is another 6.  Bill needs a T or 8 to win…but nope, a 7 on the river.

Congratulations on winning your bounty, and for trying to take down the Peasant King, Bill, but the Peasant King reclaims his throne for another week!
