The Monster Mash
Let me tell you...it was a graveyard smash. Yes, nine 52 Irving Poker League members gathered Halloween night for a night full of spooks, ghouls and flops. Unfortunately, we didn't really take notes, because, in the words of Rick James, "Sorry Charlie, I was having too much fun."
A couple key hands. Early on, Randall was all-in with pocket 3's against Yinz pocket aces. Both flopped set, Randall picked up a Kamalakin-Makin draw on the turn, but hit the 4th 3 on the river to stave off elimination and put a big hit on Yinz stack.
The two big stacks battled 4-handed, as Willis pushed all-in with the nut straight and got a call from C-Lees and his pair of aces. Willis doubled up to a monster chip stack.
It got down to heads-up behind Small Market Love members, Yinz and Willis. Rumors of a feud were denied, and the two played a gentlemenly game of poker. Willis's K-Q outdrew Conlon's medium ace when Conlon was all-in pre-flop for his 5th win of the season.
Anyways, here's the finishing order, points are out of 9 at-bats.
9th: J-Mac (1 pt)
8th: Clutch (2 pts)
7th: Harryhoa (3 pts)
6th: Matty K (4 pts)
5th: Vinny Masil (5 pts)
4th: C-Lees (6 pts)
3rd: Randall (8 pts; 7 + 1 for cash)
2nd: Yinz (9 pts; 8 + 1 for cash)
1st: Willis (11 pts; 9 + 1 for cash + 1 for win)
