RPL Event #7 Results!

Event #7

We had a great turnout of 13 players buying in for $40 last night. Play started off as usual with small pot poker, then we hear the words “all-in”. The words came from table two where the brother-in-law’s Trinity and Adam had both hit monsters on the flop. Trinity’s AK and Adam’s 66 hit big on the flop of KK6. Trinity had 3 A’s and one K to win the pot. Neither hit and was busted. Adam’s in typical fashion assumes the early chip lead.

Moments later, table one exploded with 3 all-ins post flop. Derrick had both players covered and had set of 4’s. Aaron had top two pair and Chris had bottom two pair on the flop of 10-5-4. Derrick’s set holds up and he gets the chip lead.

Play is now down to 10 players and we redraw

for seats and button at the final table.

· Brian who seemed to be struggling to catch cards decides to gamble and gets called by Aris who finishes him off.

· Next man down was newcomer Steve.

· Tom tries to steal the blinds and gets a call from Jeff. Jeff’s hand holds up and Tom is done for the evening.

· Derrick who had a big stack, but kept getting “1-up’d” in almost every pot finally pushed with his QQ. Jeff calls with AK and it hits to bust Derrick.

· Matt makes a raise w/ AQ and Mitch calls it w/ A4. The flop comes A4x and all the money goes in before the turn. Matt can’t catch a Q or other pair and finishes in 6th place.

· Play continues until Jeff raises from the button and Sean goes into the tank then calls w/ 66. Jeff shows over cards, but they do not hit. Jeff finishes on the bubble.

· Adam, who took some big hits to his stack eventually, gets it all-in vs. Mitch. Mitch’s hand is a winner and 3-time champ Adam finishes 4th for $50.

· Play continued 3-handed for a while, then Aris shoves and states that he had nothing, but wants a call. Mitch obliges by calling 56 and Aris shows 97. When all 5 cards are dealt Mitch has a full house to Aris’ straight. Aris takes home $80 for 3rd place.

Heads-up play

Somehow both of the short stacks when blinds were 600/1200 survived to the final two players. Mitch had about $4,000 and Sean $2,700 at one time during previous levels. Blinds increased to 3000/6000 and Sean was well behind with $38k to Mitch’s $110k+. They were playing for a bracelet, $210 and bragging rights, so no deal was even spoke of. Mitch continued his aggressive all-in style and finally Sean caught a couple of hands to take the chip lead. It went back and forth for several hands. Finally, Mitch goes all-in preflop w/ Qc2c and Sean instacalls with AK. The flop brings 106K, but with 2 clubs. The turn is the Ac to give Mitch his flush and Sean needs an A or K for a boat. No boat and Sean takes 2nd place for $120.

Mitch in his first RPL event wins $210 and a bracelet.
