Karl Knocks out the Competition.

We had a total of 21 entries in the 6-max this week, the prizepool was a sinister $1,666.

Top 4 we had: Matt, Jordan, Ketch and Karl.

The final table went off to a slow start, but once it passed the bubble, it heated up.

Karl went up against Ketch with an Ace suited to hearts vs AJ off. Three hearts came out on the table and Karl got a substantial chip boost once he took out Ketch.

The very next hand, Karl went up against Matt. Karl had 98 and Matt had K3, 6 T 4 9 5 on the board gave Karl his pair of 9's which was enough to knock out one more.

Heads up play lasted about 25 minutes between Jordan and Karl. Chips moved around quite a bit until the final hand. Karl had Jordan's stack covered, the hands were a classic flip. Karl with pocket 3's, Jordan with QJ. 2 K 2 on the flop, gave Jordan extra outs. 5 on the turn gave a few more. There was no K, 5, Q or J on the river, so Karl's 3's held up.

Well done to Karl on his first cash on the 6-max structure!

Mark Moves in for the Win!

Tonight's Freeze Out Tournament had 20 players with a $1000 prize pool. While Mark N managed to take out the top prize, he faced some tough competition to get there.

In the running for the prizes were Corey H, Jordan G, Alex McC, and Mark N.

Unfortunately, Corey was the first to go to take fourth place in an all in against Mark. Mark had 29 and Corey also had a 9. A 2 and a 9 came in on the flop giving Mark two pair, the turn and river were no help to Corey who was unable to catch up.

Not long after this Jordan was out also, so it was Alex and Mark heads up where it was a battle to get the upper hand.

Finally after several hands of all ins and calling and with the blind levels due to go up again, we managed to find our victor. Alex holding AJ and Mark K7. The cards came out 636Q7 leaving Mark with two pair, and taking out first place!

It was a great tournament tonight, and join us again next Wednesday and Thursday for more tournaments and be in to win some awesome prizes!

An Ace Effort by Alex

We had a reasonable turnout to our $20 6-Max Tournament tonight, with 18 players all fighting for their share of the money. A nice prize pool of over $1700 made for a pretty competitive game.

We had seven people on the final table, but our three prize winners were Alex M, Brendan N and Gary T.

Gary had a few bad beats on the final table. Calling an all-in with pocket As, up against pocket Js, the board rivered a J and made a huge dent in his stack. He tried to claw his way back but his all-in with Q-9 wasn't enough to beat Brendan's K-6 with a board of 8-A-6-J-4.

After a while of back-and-forward between Alex and Brendan, it was all over when Brendan was all-in with K-5. Alex had A-Q. Board was A-8-7-J-10 and Alex's pair of Aces claimed victory.
Congratulations to our winners.

We kick it off again Thursday night with another $60 Freeze-out Tournament. Registration up until the end of the first break.

Hot Poker for this Freeze-Out!

Tonight was a $60 Freeze-out Tournament. No rebuys, no addons, no re-entries.

With 26 entries, it was nearly 1am before the tournament wrapped up with a prize pool of $1300 divided among the final four players.

Tumua I. finished in fourth, when an all-in with J9 was beaten by Eva. A pair of K were on the board but Eva had the higher kicker. The final three were Bryn N. Eva L. and Sammy C. with both Bryn and Eva trying to knock Sammy from chip leader.

For a while it was difficult going. Eva calling Sammy's all-in with KK but unfortunately Sammy had flopped the straight. A few hands later it was returned when Sammy called Eva's all in but this time Eva had the better hand with two-pair.

Bryn wasn't going to give up easily either. Calling Eva's all-in pre-flop with A2 he unfortunately lost to K8, when the cards came out K4QQJ. Though he did manage to get one over on Sammy a few hands later with two pair 10's and 8's over Sammy's 10's and 6's, and another all-in later on achieving a straight on the river.

Eventually though, someone had to be third and that was Bryn when Eva had the higher kicker. Then a short while later Sammy finally managed to defeat Eva with JJ while Eva had 89 suited. A's on the flop ensured Sammy's victory and the flush didn't quite come through for Eva.

It was a great tournament tonight, and don't forget to join us next week with our tournaments on Wednesday and Thursday. Beginning at 7:45pm.

Jase with the Ace

We had a great turnout to our $20 6-Max Hold'em Tournament, with 24 people all fighting it out for their share of the money. Triple addons proved popular and it built the prize pool to a tasty $2000.

We had seven runners make it to the final table, but the top four were paid.
They were Chris K, Jason S, Lucy W and Greg S.

Lucy was low in chips and her blind and ante pushed her all-in and she decided to not look at her cards. Chris called her all-in with J-10, Jason calls with pocket 7s. Lucy's cards were 9-5. The board was Q-8-3-8-2 and Jason's 2-pair were enough to knock her out for 4th.

Jason climbed to chip leader, calling Chris' A-10(o) with A-10(d) and hit a runner runner flush.
With only a few chips left, Chris shoves all-in pre-flop with Q-10. Jason calls with K-5 and Greg calls with 2-4. Board was 10-9-7-7-K and Jason's higher 2-pair claimed his next victim.

Down to heads-up, Greg pushes all-in holding 8-9(c), Jason has A-8. With nothing on the board, Jason's Ace-high was enough to take out the tournament. Congratulations.

Join us on Thursday as we launch the $60 Freeze Out Tournament. One stack, One shot at the money. See you there.

Tough Climb to the top for Sammy!

Tonight's tournament had a great turnout and a healthy prize pool of over $700!

23 entrants ensured that the top four players were taking home some of the cash.

Sammy C, Mark N, Stew W and Matt L were the lucky ones to battle it out for the top spots, but Mark was the first to go unfortunately. Stew went all-in pre-flop with AQ and Mark called with pocket 10's. Mark led until the turn when a second A came out a Stew had a pair of aces. The next hand Mark went all in again with his remaining chips, and wasn't strong enough to beat Stew who managed to flop a boat.

Sammy, with a series of all-ins against Stew and Matt managed to increase his stack to chip leader and taking Matt out in the process. Matt went all in pre-flop with 2J and Sam called with 10 6. The flop was K4J, which put Matt in the lead albeit very briefly. A and Q were the turn and river, which meant Sammy now had a straight. One final all-in against Stew sealed the deal for Sammy winning with his A10 and he took out 1st place! What a turn around, well done!

Ben's Boat Brings home the Bacon

We had 21 people playing in our Wednesday Tournament. With three tables, we had a tastey prize pool of over $1800.

We were reasonably quick to get to the final table, but only four lucky people made it to the money. They were Brendan N, Ben R, Chris K, Carl W.

The first to strike was Carl. Chris was all-in with K-7(h), Carl calls with 8-3o. Board showed 9-4-8-3-A and Carl's two-pair was enough to send Chris packing.

Carl then tried to continue his streak, all-in with A-8. Ben calls with A-K. But a board of A-2-9-K-Q see him go home with 3rd place.

Final hand had Brendan all-in with J-10. Ben call with a pair of ducks. The flop comes out 7-9-8. Flopping the straight looks good for Brendan, but with 8 turn and 2 river, Ben seals his spot in first with his runner runner boat.

Congratulations to our winners.

The fun continues on Thursday with our $10 Thursday Turbo Tournament. Free entry, $10 addons and rebuys. We'll see you there!
