Scooter Avoids The Assassins Crosshairs, and Marches to Victory

    The “March of the Poker Chips Tourney” quickly turned into March Madness, as a wild game ended with Scooter notching her first win.  As the players began a first hour that saw lots of chip changing and a few re-buys, (including a fifth hand complete re-buy) the real madness happened after the break.  

    Once everyone got their fill of Fried chicken and EnChiliada, the game resumed, and the action proved too much for final table fixtures, El Guapo (that’s what happens when I WEAR a jersey), Dry Cleaner and Butterfingers.  Slick’s impressive run came to a screeching halt as Scooter claimed his head and sent him to the rail.  Meaty put up a good fight, but it wasn’t meant to be (that’s what happens when you DON’T wear your jersey).  Sandy made a nice run at bringing it home to the Eiffel Tower, but fell short and scored some solid points.

    Newcomers Popeye and Tiger Lily made impressive debuts, notching a 5^th and 3^rd place finish (congrats to both), while Underdog went deep, finishing in 4^th and gaining much needed points and confidence. It all came down to the Queen of Seconds heads-up with the Saw, for all the poppers.  It almost ended early as the Assassin lined up a clean headshot. Holding A-7 with a flop of K-7-7, she quickly squeezed the trigger when Scooter called all-in, only to find that Scooter was not there. She looked again and saw only a Full House, with Scooter holding K-7 and doubling up. Scooter then took the chip lead, and knocked a couple teeth from the Saw’s blade with a Two-Pair winner. Not content with padding her 2^nd place lead, this selfish woman proceeded to play Dentist, and removed the remaining teeth from the Saw with a Trip 5 Coup-de-gras. Congrats to Scoots for seizing her second headhunter and first 1^st place chips, and a special thanks to Butters for dealing his butt off. 

This tourney also marked a welcome return of the Losers Lounge Cash Game, which was just as memorable as the tourney itself.  It was a high energy, high-spirited game, featuring the most spectacular run of bad beats against one player (sorry, waiting for Slick to come back with yet ANOTHER re-buy). Never have we seen so many 2, 5 and other ridiculous suckouts, come down on one man’s head!  It was a race to see who could get Slick’s chips in the middle, because we all knew HE WAS’NT going to keep them. He remained in pretty good spirits, as it turned comical after awhile. I would like to thank the staff at Little Hill, and look forward to both the next tourney, and the game after. Line up fast, only 18 seats are available, and it would be nice to finally fill them all…
