4/12 was a night of upsets and excitement. 9 adventurous players made their way to the table at MC2 TR6 for the evening’s activities. Players, in order of position, were Huey (dealer), Jason S., Dav Z., Chris F., Nam N., Yajie Y., Mike N., Selving G., and Mike M.
Upsets were many as lucky flops and rivers helped the gamblers turn their fortunes. A noteable hand was Nam’s all in (A6) called by Huey with (QQ). The flop showed xAA giving Huey a bleak outlook for victory and allowed Nam to double up. Dav had a great luck with hole cards, receiving 3 pocket KKs during the evening. Unfortunately he was beat by flops and lucky rivers two of the three times. Yajie built up a quick chip lead with pocket TT and pocket JJs, flopping a set both times to lighten up a few players stack. Her luck ran out however at the final 3, losing with an AQ to Selvin’s JT. Selvin made a set of Js, crippling Yajie’s chances at the number 1 spot. For the first time in recent memory, Mike M. held out against great odds, making a few great lay downs against Selvin’s aggressive raising and survived to take number 2 for his efforts.
Notably missing from the action was Manish B. A regular and one-time 1st place finisher was MIA and was sorely missed. Shawn S. was also missing but did make an appearance during mid-game and teased us with a few slices of pizza. Bring a whole box next time. You can probably scalp the chip leaders.
We’ll see you all at the next game scheduled Apr. 26th for the 5th MCSOP game. For those of you craving more action and intrigue, a Friday evening sit and go has been known to form on MC1-5. [ $5 buy-in 1 rebuy/addon at the end of the third round ]
