I'm Feeling A Little Flushed

Brian splits one at Caesars

Brian got away for a few days this week. He and Kathy ended up at Caesars, IN. Tuesday night. Checked to see if any tournaments were going on. Every Tuesday night at midnight they have a nl holdem $65+15. So they got a room for $79 a night.

Started play with 1500 in chips and 50 people in the tourney. After the 3rd round a $5 addon for 1000 chips.

By the end of the 3rd round Brian was the short stack with 600 in chips,got the addon so started the 4th round with 1600 still the short stack.Slowly started to get some hands and by the time they were down to 3 tables Brian was the chip leader. took a big hit when he raised with KQo got 3 people to go allin so he called. Player to his left had pocket AA and won the hand. By the time they were down to 15 players he was again the CL.The final table played for about an hour and down to 4 players. Chip leader had 24k and Brian had 21k 3rd had 19k and 4th had18k.Play continued for another 15 mins no one got any where so they split the $2583 at 4:15 in the morning 600+ each.

May RPL Event Results

After the date being moved and being played on a Wednesday instead of Thursday, we still had 9 players play Event #5. The event was a $20 rebuy event and the prize pool ballooned up due to the rebuys. All players made it thru the rebuy period.

• About 2 hours into play, Duffy, Trinity and Adam got invlolved in a pot where Duffy was all-in. Adam and Trinity checked it down to the river where Trinity went all-in and Adam called quickly. Trinity shows the A-high flush to beat Adam's two pair and Duffy's mucked cards.To give Trinity a huge chip lead with approx. 1/3 of the chips in play.
  


• Almost 2 hours later of 7 handed play, Chris S. KK held vs. Aris' 77.


• It took 15 min. until Brad and Brian hooked up in a pot where Brian got Brad all-in and busted him in 6th place.


• Five players left, Sean raised UTG w/ 77 and Derrick was in the BB. He decides to go all-in and Sean goes into the tank contemplating the call. He thinks he's ahead with his pair and calls to see Derrick's K10. The 7's hold and Derrick finishes in 5th place.


• The money bubble arrives, Chris' stack was up and down all night but Trinity decided he needed more chips to his fortress and busted Chris in 4th place when Trinity's A5 held against Chris' QJ
  


• Sean, Trinity and Brian all are close in chip count and in the money. play continues 3-handed until Brian gets Sean off a big pot when a possible flush and straight hit the board. A few hands later Sean's small pair go up against Trinity's 10-10 to send Sean to the rail.
  
  
• When heads up began Trinity had a slight chip lead. Brian ask if he got the lead would Trinity be willing to make a deal so he could qualify for the TOC. Trinity was not willing to make a deal since he had made that mistake in the past.
  
  
• The chip lead passed back and forth until a hand where the flop came 6-9-5. Trinity thought long and hard before deciding to push allin. Brian insta-called and shows 9-4(not 100% on the 4)... Trinity turns his cards over and thinking he had a 9 with a higher kicker only to realize he had merely a 7-8... and oh but wait he flopped the nuts. This left Brian with only about 26K with over 200k in play.
  
  
• The next hand Trinity folded on the button knowing Brian would push with any two. The next hand had Brian (66) pushing and Trinity (A3) insta-calling. Brian's hand only improved to finish with a boat to double to about 52K.
  
  
• The very next hand Trinity (A4s) pushes and Brian (33) calls and the pair holds. Brian is now back to just over 100K.
  
  
• The very next and final hand, Trinity has AKs to Brian's KQo... Preflop Trinity puts Brian all in. Trinity flops an Ace to end the night with his second win of the year (January).

Trinity, who was the first to bust out and rebuy (5 hands into the evening), ended the night with five knockouts (hitman leader with 13 for the year) and first place. He also regained the points lead over Sean and became the first two time winner in 2008.
