2020.09 - PLO

 It was a lovely evening for the most action packed poker game known to human-kind - NO, not boring ass No-Limit Hold-Em, this was the Amazing Ball-Busting Crazy Ass POT LIMIT OMAHA!  Tournament style!

Royal Chips were in play and everything was ready for the 12 courageous players who were confident enough in their poker skills to throw down with something other than the same old same old -

Finally put the new sign up! Just in case you thought you could cash out your chips...

So our numbers were down, but the action was still enormous.  Double points for Player of the Year of course, and lots' o' gambling to be had before the break - four re-entries, though no one had to do a double re-entry as I thought might have been possible, with this being such a crazy game and all.

I had been looking forward to this event for months - unfortunately I was unable to get much going and had the misfortune to run into a set with my top two pair and very few chips behind.  Aces and Eights were no good against a set of eights!  Sick!  First time ever in poker!

I was the final table bubble, as we merged 8 handed and continued on with the gambooling.

Just dealing I'm afraid...  Also I'm hella bald apparently.

Speaking of dealing, Jeff S. and Eric L. both took on the lions share of the dealing, with Eric extending his duties into the final table.  Much thanks to both of you for that!

Emanuel was our unfortunate bubble boy and then Ian busted to collect $40 and a bounty or two in fourth place.

Finishing third, on the eve before his WSOP departure (good luck this week!) was Jeff G.  He scooped up $120.

And then there were two.  I would like to say the battle was long and arduous, but it was literally one hand.  Colin and Eric caught two action hands and an action board insured that they "Pot" "Pot!" "POT"ted their way to an all in immediately.  Aaaand the winner was...

I'll take THAT, thank you very much!

Colin had to settle for second place and $180 plus a whopping $30 in bounties, for a grand total of $210!  Nicely done and a nice chunk for a 12 person $45 tournament.

Speaking of nice chunk - Eric L. pocketed $260 plus $25 in bounties PLUS another $180 for a delightful $465!!!

Where, prey tell, did the extra $180 come from?  Oh that's right, we had an optional last longer $20 bet, which featured 9 degenerate participants.  To the victor go the spoils!  Congrats Mr. Eric!

Our next one is in a mere 13 days, and yes we are back to poopy No-Limit Hold-Em.   Mark your calendars for Saturday,  November 6 at 5pm.   Stay tuned for the Evite.

Until then, peace and we out!
