The Redemption of Kevin

On a night where two tournaments took place, we saw the rise of Kevin and the demise of Joel.  And first-timer  J. T. came out on top.

It was a strange night where the flops were silly good.  One round was especially pivotal very early on. Kevin was holding 5-7 when the flop was 4-6-8 (Who do we appreciate?  Not Kevin!).  That round dealt a death blow to both Joel and Brett who were betting hard as Joel had pocket Queens and Brett had 6-8.  Kevin just kept calling and finally found redemption with his straight!

J. T. mixed it up nicely with some timely bluffing (well, he said he was bluffing) and some aggressive bets with decent hands.  Andrew was the defending champion but went down in a blaze of glory in the first tournament only to find some redemption himself in the second tournament as he took top honors the second go-around.  Both tournaments moved quickly with the big blind never getting higher than $600.  Complete results of both tournaments can be seen on the right.

A great time was had by all and we hope to have a summer tournament the first weekend in July.  Andrew will be there.

From Last to First...Joe Clementi wins!

Sixteen players showed up at the Copperstone Clubhouse to make up the largest tournament field we've had for a BB Invitational.  We had two full tables of eight and things got started just after 10:00 PM.  Things went along smoothly until just before midnight when the on-site alarm system began emitting warnings.  At midnight, the lights went out and shortly thereafter an alarm went off.  After dealing with the security company and police who arrived to make sure we weren't vandalizing the place, we were finally able to resume play after a 40-minute delay.

Things started to pick up and we moved all the action to one table.  Joe's night was made when he was able to take Jaira out, exacting revenge for his quick exit in the last tournament.  Little did he know at the time that things were going to keep getting better for him.  Jake and Joe were able to outlast all others and were trading blows for some time before they both went all-in.  Joe's J8s made a straight and took the last hand.

Thanks for everyone who played and keep working on your game as we'll have the next tournament some time in the fall.
