Play it Out Blind!

20 players playing it out for a share of $1,666 this week.

Those who made it to the cash were; Dan H, Josh B, Ray Wang and Daniel P.

Josh shoved pre and was called by Daniel P. Five blanks on the board; 6 9 Q 5 6. AK held up for Josh and he sent Daniel home with 4th place. Dan H dodged a bullet this hand when he folded AT on the BB.

Dan pushed UTG as the small stack with QJ and was called by Ray with K9 off  "the mutt". A suspiciously low flop let Ray's K high sneak through and take the pot. Board: 7 3 2 4 3.

Heads up we had Ray and Josh B. Chips started about 60:40 in Ray's favor but within 4 hands the chips had moved between the two just as many times. Ray was left with around a 10th of the chips in play and went all in blind and was called by Josh before the cards hit the table. Q J K 3 7 were the community cards but the hole cards stayed down for suspense..... Both players turned over a Jack.. Ray had a 6 to go with it, Josh had more ink in the hole and turned over a Queen to take out 1st place (2nd time in as many visits).

Impeccably Timed Rockets.

With a moderate turnout this week, we had a prize pool of $1,550.

Chris R, Greg, Gavin and Martin were our top four finalists this week, all taking home ca$h.

Gavin went all in with around 8 BB's and KJ in the hole. He was called by Martin with AJ in diamonds. A low board dodged everyone's hole cards: 9 6 6 T 3. Martin takes the pot and knockout with Ace high.

Chris pushed into Greg's shorter stack with K9 and put Greg all-in with his AT. Greg flopped top and bottom and Chris flopped a guttie; T Q A. Turn came out a Queen which didn't change anything.. The river filled the hole and completed Chris' straight with a Jack.

Heads up we had Martin and Chris R playing it out. Funnily enough, it only lasted one hand!!! Chris on the SB, Martin on the BB. Chris limped the extra 4,000, Martin checked. Flop paired martin up and he Barreled the flop with an all-in and was called down by Chris. T5 up against AA with 5 6 K on the board. An 8 on the turn and again on the river finished up the tournament.

Nicely played Chris!

Bullets do the Real Damage.

25 Players and a prize pool over $2,100 for those who ventured out in the rain this evening.

Alex, Gary, Josh and Sammy were our cash winners this week.

Heads up was between Sammy and Josh.

The penultimate hand of the tournament saw some sneaky play and both players with two pair on the flop, here's how it went down...Very close stacks, Blinds 6,000 - 12,000 and Sammy on the SB. Sammy min raised to 24k and was carefully called by Josh. Flop comes out 3 3 7, Sammy bets half his stack, Josh retaliates with an all in, Sammy calls. Sam had hit top pair  with T7 in the hole, Josh turned over a pair of bullets (over pair) which he had been hiding away. The turn and river were 2 8. Sammy was left with a 12k stack.

Sammy was all in on the BB the next hand with A8 of Diamonds and Josh called with JT off-suit. Josh hit the Ten in the window. Turn and river were no help for Sammy, only delivering rags. Community cards: 5 T 7 3 6.

Nicely played Josh!

Thank you to all who ventured out on this puddle of an evening, as always an entertaining night and good banter all round.

WAHEEEEEEY THERE PEZZOS

This Wednesday we had 23 players show up to battle for the 2k prize pool.

Josh, Gavin, Alex and Sammy were tonights top four players.

Josh had a relatively small stack compared to the other three and pushed all in with J 7, everyone folded except Gavin who as big blind was calling all day. Gavin holding T 4 hit his ten on the turn holding to knock Josh out.

Alex is next to go all in double suited pre with K 6, Gavin holding Q J suited has another reasonably easy decision to call. 8 3 7 3 5 on the board, a pair of threes with a king kicker is good for Alex.

Final two, Alex is dealt pocket 8's and gets it all in pre, Sammy has a count of his chips and calls with A 9,  the final board is 8 Q 3 7 T , Alex flops a set and scores another win for the year.
