Josh does the Riverdance!!!

Another Terminator tourney done and dusted, to finish of February.  'Twas a reasonably casual affair with 17 runners and a total prize pool of $1530NZD with an additional $425NZD in bounties.

With four players left it was really a game of twists and turns to make it into the money (3 places paid).  If you had a '2' in your hand it seemed to hold, and the 'River' was making a strong presence at showdown.

Danny W. ended up with the bubble when Andrew A. on 67K shoved preflop with 55.  Called by Danny first (35K) with 99, then by Chris R. with AK and 55K in chips.  The board is 6-A-2-8-4 and a pair of aces holds. Danny is gone and leaving Andrew a minor stack.

Andrew makes a valiant chip comeback until he shoves preflop with J9 and Chris R calls with K5 and rivers a K leaving Andrew $305 better off and the heads up action begins.

A pure ding-dong battle ensues with usually the weaker hand holding up and chip stacks become very equal.  Josh B shoves all-in with 67 suited and is promptly called by Chris R's AK.  The flop comes down as J-3-2 helping noone.  Turn's a null 9 and Chris R is confident of a big pot win....  Boom, 6 hits on the river and Josh B has just has it covered, dancing home happily with the title and $765 for the win and another $125 in bounties.

Well done Josh.

Heads up and final hand, both players deciding to chop 1st and 2nd prize taking $650 each and playing for the remaining $55, Martin has 10 6 and Josh J 5, one hand only and flop comes K 5 7, turns an A and rivers a 6.  Josh out in 2nd taking $650 and 3 bounty's.  Martin tonights winner taking 7 bounty's as well as his $705 for 1st place.

Hasta la vista, baby

We had 19 people show up for this weeks Wednesday Terminator Tournament, all geared up to win their share of the $1600 prizepool and as many bounties as they could.

We had four on the final table; Chris S, Mok H, Hayden R and Noel L. 

Shum shoved pre-flop with J-J, Hayden called with J-A. Board was 5-2-4-7-A. Hayden rivered top pair and knocked Shum out, leaving him with 4th place and one bounty top cash out. 

Next to seal their fate was Mok. All-in after the flop with 6-7(c) chasing the club flush. Hayden called with Q-2. No more clubs came up and Hayden's 2-pair held, adding another bounty to his already decent collection.

Shortly after, Hayden shoved pre-flop with J-2(h). Noel called with A-5. Board came out 7-10-7-2-Q and it was the 2-pair again that gave Hayden the win. Noel still got to take away 2nd place and a couple of bounties.

Hayden had and impressive 10 bounties. Congratz

Bounty Table this week.

Terminator Shum Totally Annihilates Competition With No Mercy!

It was a total one horse race tonight with Chris absoultely dominating the competition right from the start, his only head ache was, "Do i need to addon"?

What a night of poker, with our 2nd Terminator Bounty tournament of the year we had 24 players show up to battle it out.  With 63 addons and 65 rebuys this added for a prize pool of $2440 plus another $600 in bounty's.  That's a total of $3040 all up!

1st prize $1100, 2nd $685, 3rd $415 and tonight we paid to 4th for $245 and lets not forget the $600 for bounty's up for grabs.

A big special thank you has to go out to all our regular poker players who each week show up to play.  Chris R, Gary, Noel, Danny, Hayden, Josh, Chris S, Greg and more.

We had 3 tables of 8 in action most of the night all with very similar chip counts and rebuys and addons, Chip leader from the start was of course Chris who double rebuyed at the start and went  from there.

Final table and out in our favourite bubble position to give Noel a break was Hayden who had K Q and shoved, Chris S calls with 8 2.  Flop comes and Chris hits 2 pair on the flop and it was over, Hayden out in 5th place.

Next to go was Nick who pushed with 10 10, Chris calls with A 5 and catches an A on the flop and Nick was gone in 4th place taking away $245 for his effort and not taking a single bounty.

By this time Chris pretty much had over 90% of the chips.  Gary sees K 10 and pushes, Chris sees A 9 and calls, flop comes 7 A 2, turns a 4 and river a 3, Gary out in 3rd place taking away $415 plus another $125 for his 5 bounty's.  That's a total of  $640 for his night.

Very next hand and Chris was all in again with A 2, Matt with K 8, flop comes 2 10 10, turns a 5 and river a 9, Matt out in 2nd place without taking a single bounty on his journey but still takes away $685 for his effort.

1st prize went to Chris taking away $1100 for first place plus another $300 for his 12 bounty's.  Thats a total of $1400 for his night.
