RPL Event #1 (2009) Results

Our first event of the had 11 players buy-in for a chance at taking home the cash. Play early was slow and fairly tight.

Results:
Vern made an untimely bluff that Derrick picked off with 2nd nut flush to send Vern home in 11th place.

Sean was pretty card dead most of the night and finally made a move in the hijack position w/ A6o and Shorty instacalled with AK. No three outer there and Sean finished 10th.

Moments later, hands folded around to Adam in the SB and he threw a raise in w/ AK. Derrick thought he was being bullied and shoved A10 to protect his BB and never improved to bust in 9th place.

Mike K. grind a medium to short stack for a while. I could not remember his bust hand, but he finished in 8th place.

New player Daniel also grinded for a while after losing a big pot early on. He played a good short stack game only to be outdrawn multiple times. He finished 7th.

Mitch, who's stack went up and down all night, finished 6th after failing to get back to even.

New player Jason J. nursed a less than 1 BB stack back to a playable stack, but ended up finishing 5th two shy from the money.

On the money bubble, Jeff raked in several pots throughout the night busted the bubble to finish 4th.

With money bubble busted, Adam, Trinity and Shorty all swapped chip around for a bit. Shorty held a nice chip lead. Adam moved in severals times and finally got bit to finish 3rd.

Trinity was behind in chips to Shorty when HU play started. Trinity played aggressive HU and got lead. However, Shorty got some hands and proceeded to get the lead back. The final hand, Shorty came over the top of Trinity's raise and pushed allin w/ Q10, Trinity insta-called with JJ. A Q came on the river and Shorty won the 1st event of 2009.
