Last to arrive, last to leave.


Today we had 21 people turn out for the September deepstack playing for a prize pool just short of $5000.

Dan managed to get out of bed and rocked up with twenty minutes to spare now everyone else wishes he kept sleeping.

Down to the final five we had a three way all in. Andy went all in with pocket eights, Tristan called with pocket aces and Dan with the biggest stack called with JK. Board is 6J9K4 and Dan successfully knocks out two people for the second time today and Tristian scores the fourth place prize.

Final three is Dan, Todd and Adam. Todd makes a move first pushing all in with JT and Dan calls with KQ. Unfortunately for Todd the board doesn't run in his favour, with a king on the turn sealing his fate in 3rd place.

Final hand Adam is all in with Q2 of spades up against Dan with A7. The flop comes T67 with a spade, and the turn bringing in a flush draw to make sure there was a sweat for the 2k. With the river bricking out, Dan holds on to take out the tourney.

Judgement Day!

What a Night of Poker!  We started tonight's action with only 8 players, 5 minutes later we had a line of players rearing for action and all of a sudden we had 26 players on 3 tables.

78 Rebuys and 66 addons pretty much summed up the nights action.  Total prize pool tonight was $2734 plus $650 in Bounties.  1st prize was a whopping $1230, 2nd $765, 3rd $465 and 4th received $275.

Some amazing all in hands throughout the night but down to the final table we had a new comer Craig who was our bubble tonight out in 5th place.

Jeremy was out in 4th place who pushed in with 7 7 up against Michael with A 9, an A fell on the flop to give Michael a pair of A's and Jeremy was out in 4th with $275 but also had a whopping 7 bounties under his belt taking away another $175 on top.

Next to go was Ray with J 8 up against Michael again with 7 9, a 7 fell on the flop giving Michael a small pair and Ray was out in 3rd taking away $465 plus a single bounty to his name.


Final 2 and the show down was on.  Chris Roy chasing his 3rd Terminator Title up against the final table assassin Michael G!  The action went back and forward for about 15 minutes until Chris won a huge pot of over 200,000 with Q 6 up against Michael with 9 9, Flop came Q A K, turns a J and river a 4 giving Chris a monster pot and Michael severely short stacked.  Forced to push, Michael goes all in on his 20k big blind with 6 3 up against Chris's K 8, flop comes 2 10 Q, turns a 7 and river a Q making Chris's K in hand good enough to take 1st place and also 5 bounty's.  Michael taking 2nd prize and 3 and half bounty's.

A great night of poker wrapping up September's Wednesday Terminator Bounty Month.  Winner of the Most Kills for September will be announced soon.

Well done Chris for taking out his 3rd Terminator Tourny!

WHAT'S ON IN SEPTEMBER?

THE WEDNESDAY TERMINATOR AND $200 MONTHLY KILL BONUS

Due to popular demand, we're keeping the Wednesday Terminator going through September, and we're going to go ahead with another Monthly Terminator bonus of $200 for the most kills.  There are only 4 weeks in September so it could be over after the first few weeks if you're not careful!  Conditions apply.


CASH GAMES - $40 NLH

As most of you will already know, we are now aiming to grow our poker room by focusing on $40 no limit hold'em.  It should be a lot more amenable to walk-ins, casuals and new players, so don't forget to spread the word and bring your mates with the promise they won't be out of their depth.


SEPTEMBER DEEPSTACK - 1PM SATURDAY 30 SEPTEMBER

Our next deepstack has been set for Saturday 30 September, just under 4 weeks away.  $200 +$20 this time will make the prize pool slightly better to look at, only needing 25 players to reach our estimated prize pool of $5,000.
