Foxtrot-Tango Waltz's To Victory??
 

    If a player "claims" he won, but the frontpage writer wasn't sober enough to see it... Did it really happen? I am left with this dillema, after making the L-O-N-G trek to the third floor of Eazy Ei's Fire Dragon Casino, for the Sept tourney. After getting myself a bottle of Sapphire, and having gin & tonics all night, I realized I had finished the bottle shortly after going out. With nothing to do once my dealing duties were done, I fell comfortably onto the couch and zoned out from there.

    In between, I made the rise from almost dead to chip leader, after a few nicely timed double and triple up's to put me well over a mil, and in good shape heading into the chip run. I then went card dead, and made a few stabs at pots that didn't pan out, then went all-in one too many times. That's pretty much most of what I remember, Foxtrot claims to have hit a brutal suck-out on Popeye, but I have nooo idea if that took place or not. I think with Tango playing casino poker so much, they agreed to chop the pot and make Foxtrot-Tango the winner to get it over with.

    We all know Slick hates staying until the end, and probably was the one to bring it up, with everyone following his lead like the Pied-Poker-Piper, Ei was finally allowed to get back to studying, and Foxtrot and Marshall agreed to Rock-Paper-Scissors for the title. I just know I missed everyone's exit, and awoke to hear Slick bitchin' about me sleeping while he loaded everything. DO NOT imbibe a whole bottle of anything, and expect to write a coherent, FACT-FILLED frontpage celebrating a victory that never actually happened. I will see you all (fat chance) in Oct. at Foxtrot's Dancehall, to put his championship chops, and his head on the table for all to challenge. Congrats on the Phantom Victory, and my disappointment at Slicks chopping o' the pot still has me reeling to the core...
