3 Strikes and you're...In (the money)
24 players turned up for our weekly $10 Thursday Turbo tournament, playing for a prize pool of over $900.
Many were knocked out fairly early and before we knew it, we were down to the final table. The final four were Sam C, Danny W, Alex M and newcomer Johannes R.
Sam went all-in having just a little bit more than the blind. Holding Q2 off-suit, Danny calls with 10-5 off-suit. Danny wins with a pair of 5s sealing Sam's fate for fourth place.
The next to go all-in was newcomer Johannes. Pocket Qs were looking good, even against K-10 off-suit. Flop came down 6-K-8. With just A-7 coming up in the turn and river, the pair of Ks were enough for Danny to claim another victim.
Danny managed to go on and double up against Alex with Q-10 vs. A-J. A set of 10s on the flop and a Q on the river, his full-house put him well in front.
The final play was with Alex going all-in blind and Danny calling (also blind). Danny's J-6 was up against Alex's 8-4. Danny's third strike with a pair of Js took Alex out, winning the tournament.
Congrats Danny.
