Sponge Snake bitten at Oct, Haunt!

    This month’s page will be regretfully short. Due in part to the Early Times, and my Early Exit at the “Haunting on the Hill”.  All gathered at one of the larger tourney’s we’ve had, and drink and cards began flowing, except on table 2 where the cards came to a screeching halt upon contact with the table! 

    The first hour went by with what is becoming the standard full re-buy at both tables. It’s hard to believe we actually used 1k chips at one time… The break featured a hearty (and needed) meal of Pappy Parker Fried Chicken, salads, and other goodies. After all had their fill, including Boomerang (pause for clapping), we commenced with the tourney.

    This is where things get blurred, and I remember that Boomerang made an early exit, only to be joined shortly by myself when I flopped 2 pair, went all in, and got a quick call from Meaty, who flopped the nut straight. I now apologize to all at table 2 who had to watch my fumbling efforts at dealing while feeling VERY little pain. It was rough going, but they waded through and sent 4 to the final table.

    At this point the cash game started up, and I can only tell you that 6 players got busted out, leaving the Usual suspects Sponge & Snake to battle for supremacy. After a few hands Snake went all-in with a Q-2 of clubs and was cheerfully called down by Sponges pocket jacks, only to have his cheers turn to sorrow when Snake flushed up on the turn giving him the monster stack at the table. After that It only lasted a few hands, when Sponge went all in with J-10 and was called by Snake with “K-something”? Snakes King held up and flooded the Sponge’s dreams of victory to earn yet another title that I didn’t.  Congrats to the Snake, condolences to the Sponge, and see you all for an early Turkey Shoot in November!!
