Before we get started let's remind everyone that the "Jessica Simpson - Adam Foote Showdown" will be held Thursday, July 10, at 11 AM sharp... let's get there on time people!
Ok so the Ringo Starr Classic drew 8 participants on Monday night, pretty good showing if I say so myself. Tournament leader Dennis Renno was your host with Scott Randall, Kevin Conlon, Kenton Wong, Brett Edgerton, Matt Ketaineck, Tom McKean and Vince Masi your participants.
This tournament got underway without much fanfare as nearly all players passed around blinds and were pretty even money through the first hour of play. Our first big hand came as Kentaineck put Edgerton all in holding a nut flush.. Edge immediately called and to Ketaineck's dismay Edgerton pulled a 5's over 4's full house.. and somewhere cousin Joey was smiling. Edge was left to play another day, and Ketaineck suffered a major chip loss.
Ketaineck would soon regain his lost chips as he made the first knockout of the tourney. When Ketaineck raised before the blinds, Scott Randall the big blind decided to go all-in in hopes that Ketaineck was simply trying to steal the blinds. Matty K called and Randall's Q10 was left behind Ketaineck's A9.... when an Ace came on the flop that was all she wrote for Randall, but all was not lost as he was home in time to see his beloved Dodgers get a near perfect game from some Janpanese guy.... oh and Randall had to make the Mr. Gurgles run..
Next to hit the door was everyone's favorite NASCAR young gun Tom McKean... McKean and Yinz went head to head as Conlon raised with a AQ and McKean called with K7.. when the flop showed A5K, McKean went all in and Yinz called... nothing came on the turn or river and Yinz had his first victim of the night, but certainly not his last...
Next to go was Jenton Wong... who you might ask..oh wait yeah Kenton Wong.... Kenton got excited to see a pair of J's dealt his way.. he quickly went all in but ran head first into a call from Yinz who was holding pocket A's... nothing came on the table and Yinz had number 2... it was Kenton's second big loss to Conlon on the day as earlier an IM basketball game ended with Yinz team over Kenton's 93-17....
Yinz next victim was Vince Masi, but this time he needed a bit of luck... Masi calls all-in with pocket 9's and Yinz with the chip lead calls with A10 suited.....the flop produced 78J, leaving Yinz just a 9 short of the straight... the turn came 3 so no help, but on the river the only card that Yinz needed for the win came as a 9 gave him the win with a straight over Vince's trip 9's...
A short dinner break ensued with some Mr. Gurgles buffalo pizza, and then it was back to action... with Conlon again locked in... Edge dealt pocket J's went all in immediately, and a smiling Yinz called again, this time with pocket K's....the flop left no help and Yinz beat his second pair of J's on the night...
So with 3 people left in the game Yinz and Ketaineck with high chips and a short stacked Clutch who had grinded his was all night... the big hand came when Yinz got pocket J's and went all-in... Ketaineck called with A5 and when nothing came to Matty K's aid, Yinz took home the pot... Ketaineck was left with 53 chips and was shortly eliminated by Yinz...
So Clutch and Yinz were ready to battle as long as it would take for the final, but it would only take one hand....Yinz gets A9 on the first deal and goes all-in with a huge chip lead... Clutch (partially tired and knowing he needed to be up for a little M&M) decides to call with Q2 and nothing comes to help... Yinz gets his second win of the season and proclaim's his happiness that he was able to talk his wife into letting him play.... here are the points....
