February Event Results (Finally)

We had a great crowd for the February Rebuy Event. We were getting so many reservations I had to start a waiting list since our seat limit was close to being exceeded. We ended up with 18 players with many new faces. Play started tight and of course no one went out before the end of the rebuy period. Brian was the first to go at 8:48 when he was busted by Mike. Steven C. followed when he was busted by Steven W. Jason was sent to the rail by Shorty. Soon after Adam B. was driving home when Trinity’s QK busted his A6 All in move.  Andrew was busted by Chris S. Kevin’s AA was busted by Tony’s QQ on the turn. Vern was out the door thanks to Sean. Steven W. was busted by Tony who was on a heater.

That bust brought us to a single table with nine players remaining. Brett was busted out by Jeff. Four minutes later Derrick was sent packing by Sean (no bubble this time). Trinity moved all in and was called by last month’s winner,, Shorty who was shorter stacked. Trinity’s AQ quickly overtook Shorty’s pocket eights.  Chris S. who admitted he would be pushing soon was busted thanks to Aris. Tony who had had a huge CL early was busted by Sean. Play went almost an hour before another bust. But Sean got short stacked when Trinity’s 99 held vs his A8 push. Aris took out Sean shortly there after, giving Sean the title of bubble boy. Now in the money, play continued for 40 minutes with chips going back and forth between the four remaining players. Mike was busted by  Aris. Three handed play lasted only eight minutes before Jeff was sent packing thanks to Trinity.

Now heads up Trinity and Aris prepare for battle. Aris has a decent chip lead when heads up began. The big hands of note were when both players limped into pot to see the flop. Trinity pushed all in on a 835 board with 86 and Aris insta-called with his 35. Trinity was able to catch a river 8 for a set to win a pot of just over 200k. The very next hand (I think), Trinity casually looks down at his hole cards and pushes all-in while stacking the winning from the previous pot. Aris calls quickly with J10 and sees it’s a coin toss situation against Trinity’s deuces. The deuces hold and Trinity takes the title and Aris takes second. gg.
