Big Slick Handles The Pressure To Go Back To Back!
The Outskirts
has always been very welcoming and this tourney was no different, and we were
all happy to have "Scooter" back at the tables. Slick always has a full fridge
of good drinks and great snacks to start off the tourney.
The Action at table 2 was very fierce with a lot of good
hands, most amazing was how many hands the Marshal had that ended up as trips.
He probably hit trips on 75% of the cards possible, Great Luck! He was
definitely chip leader at "Table 2" most of the night. I can honestly say I have
no idea about anything that happened on "Table 1" because I had no plan to write
this page and had avoided it for 7 months. The only thing I did notice was the
fact that Slick was very low for a while early on before he began his fight and
quest for B2B.
At break we
ate good pizza from Papa John's, an even better salad from Scooter, and a
buffalo dip that was equally as good. And we watched a Dodger pitcher get hit in
the head (which you don't see everyday) and we watched The Saw do some damage on
the slot machine.
When the "REAL" tourney began we went at least an hour or so
without a K-O, then just like that the Big Mac was gone. Then YES, I am shocked
too, but yes "E" was next to be sent packing or should I say napping which is
what she did on the couch for a while, waiting for another game.
Then it was
Sandy's turn, that was a bummer!! Then right before my demise Scooter went out.
Then as I said "This is the best hand I've had in a long time" a K-10 off, I
moved all in. And just like I said earlier, Marshal got trip Jacks and sent me
to this. Then the Marshal took out the other Burmese Cat, I mean Python, The
Saw. SORRY!! Two in one night, WOW!
Then as we lost a few more players and Slicks chip stack
began to grow, we landed the final table with Slick, Marshal, Guapo, Cha Cha,
Diego, Sponge, and Jeremy, all seeking the championship.
Cha Cha was
first to go, then Big Daddy Guapo, then the Sponge, then Jeremy and Diego went
up against Marshal for the right to face Slick heads up and came up short, so
that brings us to the final two, Slick vs. Marshal, with Slick looking to go B2B
for the first time ever and Marshal looking to take over the tours overall
points lead from me. Marshal gave it everything he had but the cards went cold
for him and for Slick everything he got towards the end turned into a straight.
Valiant effort Marshal, But congrats are in order for the Two-Time year-end
Tournament Champion "Slick" for going Back 2 Back for the first time Ever!!
