November RPL Event Results

The November RPL Live Event had a good crowd and a lot of new faces. We started the evening with 17 players and six hours later only one was left standing. When play got down to the bubble a deal was made to allow everyone to get $40 back and play out the rest as planned. The final five consisted of Rick, Wally, Donnie, Duffy and Trinity. Shortly after the deal was made, Rick busted out. Donnie was next to go when he called Trinity's allin with Trinity showing KK and Donnie 44. The flop came 4xK, giving both players a set. Play continued three handed for some time with chips moving around to each player. Wally was getting short but managed to double up when Trinity called his all in with sevens which never improved against Wally's pocket eights. Around 12:30 Wally and Duffy got allin. Duffy was way ahead with KK vs Wally's QJ(I think). Duffy flopped another King for a set sending Wally to the rail.

Heads up started with the blinds at 5K/10K and Duffy holding about a 3 to 1 chip lead. Trinity took an aggressive approach and managed to take over the chip lead. The chips got all in with Trinity's Kx vs Duffy's AQ. We thought the game was over when the board came J5K5 only a 10 to come on the river to give Duffy the straight (which no one noticed until Trinity pointed it out). This hand put both players at close to even. A few hands later Trinity pushed allin with A9suited and knowing he might be behind Duffy called with KQ and neither hand improved. Trinity took down the title for his fourth RPL title and extending his POY points lead even more.

Champion - Trinity
2nd - Duffy
3rd - Wally
4th - Donnie

Good game everyone. Hope to see you next month for the makeup for August and the Main Event (must have attended four RPL games to qualify). If your name is not on the list as qualified email Trinity or Sean. Hopefully we will have the list updated shortly. We will also note all those who are one game short of qualifying so that if you are one short you can attend the Dec 11th game to qualify for the Main Event on Sat Dec 13th.

See you at the tables.
