Our Wednesday Tournament was looking pretty measly at first, with only one player signing up by 7:30. But we managed a good total of twenty-one players and a prize pool over $2000!
The top 4 players this week are Mark N, Ben M, Rayel and Rob M.
Mark loses most of his chips when he goes all in on the flop trying to take it down, but Ben calls. The flop is 2-8-3, Mark has AK and Ben JJ. Turn comes out a 7 and river is another 7. Mark is left with $2k,
Big blind comes to Mark and he has to go all in for $1k which is less than BB. Rayel shoves but gets no more callers. Mark rolls over a 94 (a favourite of "The Peasant") and Rayel flips over KJ. ON the flop we get 6-A-T. Neither player has hit, but Rayel is in the lead. Turn is a 7. Mark is looking for a 9,8 or 4 for the win.... But nope! 3 on the river. Rayel wins with his K high. Mark out on 4th.
Ben is small stack at this point and goes all in with $11k The other 2 players call. Ben has 99 and hits a set to treble up.

Rayel looks down a sees KQ, he shoves, Ben calls with 55. Flop delivers 2-8-5. Ben hits a set again and now not many outs for Rayel. Turn delivers a 9 and Rayel is dead now. 7 on the river and 3rd place for Rayel.
Final hand of the night, the flop is 8-4-7, Ben goes all in. Rob has a quick think and calls. Ben rolls over 63, gutshot straight draw is what he's looking for. Rob shows 85, Rob is ahead with his pair of 8's and his 5 is a blocker for Ben's gutshot. Turn comes out an A, not helping Ben at all. The last card dealt in the tournament is a J... Rob takes out Ben with a pair of 8's. Well done Rob on your first win!
