Reed Poker Room Event #1

We had a great first event and we want to thank all those that could make it out Saturday night. Event #1 had 12 players which is a record number for the Reed Poker Room. Cards were in the air just after 6 p.m. as scheduled.

By 2nd session, the two tables of 6 were able to break down to one with ten players remaining.

It got down to the final three a little after 10 p.m. with Brian, Matt and Anthony still going strong. Short stacked Anthony pushed all-in in the dark with Matt quickly calling, since Anthony could have had any two cards. Anthony turns over AA to Matt's 10d6d* flop comes XdAdX turn come Xx and the flop Jd to give Matt the flush against Anthony's trip Aces. This was the first time all night pocket Aces were busted. Anthony finished 3rd for $80.

After much battling back and forth it came down to the final hand Matt ($11,500) pushing all-in with KdAc. Brian ($108,500) called with 5c6c. The flop pretty much sealed the night with Qs 6h 6s with 7s Xs on the turn and river.

Matt finished 2nd for $130 and Brian took home 1st with $210 and the event bracelet.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone for playing.

* not 100% sure of the cards except that they were diamonds which was the main thing in this hand
