No Problemo For Tonight's Terminator Winner!

Another fun action packed night of poker as usual at Dunedin Casino.  We had 17 starters tonight with 44 Addons and 36 Rebuys making a total prize pool of $1547 plus another $425 in bounty's.

Tonight paid the top 3 places, 1st $775, 2nd $465 and 3rd $310

Hand of the night had to go to Hao who calls an all in with 7 2 up against Jeremy P with K 2, flop comes K 2 10, Jeremy well ahead and Hao around a 3% chance, turns a 7 and river another 7 giving Hao a boat and hand of the night.  Who says 7 2 is no good?

Kama eventually came back to haunt Hao when he peeps at A A and shoves and gets a caller from Simon who has K K, flop comes 10 2 4, turns another 2 and the river a K!  Aces cracked again for the night, and Hao was out in around 13th.

Final table and we had a massive 3 way all in preflop with Greg with K 4, Daniel with As Qs and Jermey P with A K, flop comes 3s 5s 7, turns a 4 and unfortunately for Greg the river a Js giving Daniel the nut flush and a double knock out taking 2 bounty's.

A few hands later and again a big 3 way all in, this time Martin with K 10 up against Hayden with J J and Chris R with A 5, flop comes 9 9 Q, turns a 2 and river a 3, Martin out in 5th.

Down to the final 4 and tonight's bubble!  We had Josh with 10 10 up against Hayden with J J, flop comes 8 3 5, turns a 6 and river a 10!  Josh hitting trips on the river and Hayden our bubble tonight taking away 2 bounty's.

final 3 and Chris has Qs 8s and pushes, Daniel calls with A Q, flop comes 3 2 2, turns a 3 and river a J, Chris out in 3rd taking away $310 for 3rd and also 4 bounty's.

Heads up and Josh and Daniel play for around an hour!  They decide to do a deal both taking $500 each and leaving $240 cash, a photo and of course the title of Wednesday night Terminator Champion to play for.  Finally the final hand
comes and Josh has A 2 and shoves, Daniel calls with 8 8, flop comes Q K 10, turns a 10 and river a 4, Josh out in 2nd taking $500 for his deal and taking 2 bounty's as well.

Tonight's winner Daniel taking away $740 for his 1st place and taking 5 bounty's away as well.  That's a total of $865 for his night.

Another great night of Poker at Dunedin Casino.

The Sweet Taste of Pineapple Victory

This weekend was full of excitement at Dunedin Casino as we launched Crazy Pineapple for the first time in New Zealand.

18 eager players turned up for the New Zealand Crazy Pineapple Poker Championship. With a prize-pool of almost $4,000 the stakes were high.

The competition was slow and steady and we had our final table after about four hours. Top three were paid. They were Aaron M, Alex M and Josh B.

Aaron was short stack as he went all in with A-4-? Josh called with K-K-? Board was 10-7-6-7-A and with Aaron rivering top 2-pair, he got a nice double-up.

After losing out on a few big pots, Alex went all-in post-flop with J(c)-8(c)-? Josh called holding 9-6-? With q-4(c)-9(c)-3-K on the board, Alex missed his flush and Josh's pair of 9's was enough to stay in the game. Alex still took home 3rd place prize, a Crazy Pineapple T-shirt and a golden pineapple.

Josh was next to go all-in with Q-A-? (suited). Aaron called with 10-10-? Board was 3-7-6-J-J so Aaron's 2-pair won him the tournament and first ever Crazy Pineapple Championship in NZ. He also took away with him the trophy and some pineapple souvenirs. Well done.
