Fairwell to Matt...

Matt played his last RPL event last night. He's moving back to New Jersey in April. I just wanted to say that it was nice meeting you over the last year or so. Good luck in life and at the poker tables. Maybe we can get a trip to Atlantic City and meet up again soon.

Keep in touch and we'll still play on FTP on Wednesday nights!

Sincerely,
Sean

March RPL Results...

Last night was RPL #3 and it had a record turnout with 19 players making for a nice payout. Play went on for about 45 minutes until the first bust.

  • Last year's Main Event Champion, Adam was the first to go busto by Patrick.
  • Only minutes later, Patrick busted two more in the same hand by sending Chris S. and Brian to the rail. Patrick had a nice chip lead after 3 early knockouts.
  • Newcomer Bo was the next victim after Trinity busted him.
  • Play continued for a while til Donnie and Brad got busted by newcomer Andy.
  • The first knockout at table #2 was Matt who was busted by Elmer.
  • Elmer got moved to table #1 and didn't last too long after Trinity busted him.
  • At the final table bubble, Sean knocks out Duffy in a blind vs. blind matchup.
  • Patrick get his 4th victim when busts Jason.
  • Mitch lost his "tall" stack to Anthony in a huge 3-way pot.
  • Jeff hung on as long as he could, but Vern finished him off.
  • Mr. Unlucky, Derrick had his QQ cracked by Trinity's 88 to finish 7th. Brutal!
  • Anthony went from chip leader to bust when Andy takes out another person.
  • On the bubble, Sean luckily sends Patrick to the rail when he rivers a K to beat Patrick's A-high.
  • With 4 players in the money, Trinity gets crippled a hand before Vern busts him with 2 pair.
  • Only a couple of hands were played 3 handed when Sean's middle pair w/ A kicker ran into Andy's set of 4's. Sean finishes in 3rd for the 3rd time this year.

Vern and Andy played a few hands before the decided to chop the money and Andy gets the "victory" since he was chip leader at the time of the deal.

Top 4

Andy- Champion ($252.50)

Vern- 2nd ($252.50)

Sean ($120)

Trinity ($80)

Daniels Heads Up Tourney Continues

Jeff lost in the first round in the Heads Up Tourney when he faced off with Chris Daniels. Sean moved forward after winning his round and will be playing his second round next week. Trinity beat Chris Sloce in the second round to advance to the final four and will probably play his third round match next week.

I thought about giving some hand results from my Heads Up against Chris S. but that might give away too much information. I will say Chris made some big laydowns that the average player could not have gotten away from.

RPO #10 - HORSE Results

Wednesday nights RPO Event was the smallest number of players we have had all year, with only four players. This game also would decide who would take the RPO points lead.

Champion - Brian ($12)
2nd - Trinity ($7)
3rd - Jeff
4th - Sean

Tonights win gave Brian the points lead. Congrats.
