| It's never too early for some Halloween action! |
 |
| Tiki Chips & Plaques in play! |
For some reason the tables were slightly out of position so it ended up feeling very cramped, with 30 gamblers throwing down and slinging chips.
As you can see from the last pic, at some point I was at the green table. In fact all told I ended up moving 4 different times in this tournament! Crazy, I legit was on the big blind every time! Crazy!

The third table broke around 1030, and we were down to 2 tables of 9.

Less than an hour later we had a flurry of bust outs, so fast it was hard for me to keep track - but I managed it - and we formed up a final table of 8.

| It's not the size it's what you do with it... |
Yes, that was my stack - somehow I managed to get tangled up in a big all in pre-flop hand with Dan L. and got my money in behind. I hit a pair which gave me hope that was then dashed on the river and the bulk of my mountain evaporated. Completely my fault and my old impatience rearing it's ugly head - easy come easy go!
 |
| How did those chips (and plaques) get over there? |
 |
| Flashing back to happier times. |
Jeff S. bubbled, Ian busted next to get a nice $120 payday.
I lost my remaining paltry chips to Andrew and scooped up $140 in fifth place.
Newly inducted Legacy player Barb finished fourth and collected $180.
And then there were three...
Sheyna succumbed next, scooping up $280 in third place money plus a couple of bounties.
Heads up play lasted about 20 minutes or so as 1am approached.
The final hand was likely the sickest run out we've ever had to end a tournament.
Andrew 3 bet jammed with middle pair on the flop, Dan snap called with top pair, and then the turn and river came out.

And so Dan took his horrific beat in stride, $340 for second place plus $20 in bounties helped soften the blow no doubt.
And then this guy got $400 for first and another $25 in bounty action - well done my man!
All in all another great night of the pokers.
It was especially great to see our man Jerry on the felt, he had a medical emergency earlier in the week but has rebounded very well! Love you dude!
Also thanks so much to everyone who supported my kid's Girl Scout troop by purchasing fall product - I believe your goodies will be ready for pickup at our next tournament on November 17.
That tournament will be our 3rd annual H.O.R.S.E. event - so I know many of you will turn up your noses at that, if this is the case you will then have to wait until early December to get your orders. I would encourage you to take a $40 chance on some genuine poker fun anyways, I will as always have a tutorial at 630 for anyone who needs it.
I also am strongly considering having dedicated dealers for the event - I would deal table 1 and I would likely need one other person to deal the 2nd table; I can give you half an entry if you volunteer. You must of course stay even after you bust until the table breaks. Please don't volunteer unless you know all the games.
If you can't wait until December for your orders, you are welcome to shoot me a text and come by and get them. Also, of course, I'll be having several smaller tournaments and a cash game or two before then, so you may be able to get your stuff then.
Stay tuned for the H.O.R.S.E. Evite, until then peace and we out!
