Before I report on Showdown #3 I want to let everybody know of a date change for Showdown #4. The original date of Dec 13th will be changed to Sunday Dec 14th at 6pm. The location will be at Randy Kiester's house. I will post directions. Many of the showdown members will not be able to attend on the 13th. We set the schedule and promised to stick by it. One or Two subs each night isn't the end of the world and trying to create a schedule to accomodate 12 players is impossible. That being said we don't want a showdown with half the players being subs. So we will attempt to change the date if many of the players can't attend.
On to the showdown. Tourney #1 started off with a bang as Chris Schutters sub Carl called Wayne's all-in with pocket aces. Unfortunately for carl ( and Chris ) Wayne flopped a set of 8's and took down the pot knocking out Carl. Carl elected not to re-buy ( Schutter obviously didn't provide Carl with the appropriate amount of funds for the evening ) he was soon joined by Kevin, Doc and Tom at the kiddie table. Over at the main table Darrly Temmell ( subbing for the very chilly Kasey ) was running rough shod over the table building up quite the chip stack. Some would say that big D was just getting good cards. I don't know. When D folded out of the big blind needing only to call allowing me to take down the pot I knew I was in for a battle. I'm certain that D was setting us all up for the big fall. The Big Boy table got down to 7 very quickly with Randy busting out. Next on the couch was Wayne followed by Ron and Rich K. Wayne ( yet to cash this season ) has to be feeling a little tight. With each showdown the pressure mounts. Onto the money. Shane busted out in 4th and D took 3rd while Rich l collected 2nd place money. Jeff got his first win of the season and took home the $120 1st place take. Over at the Kiddie table Tom continued his onslaught of the loser with his 3rd kiddie table win. Good job Tom.
Moving on to Tourney #2 busting out early were Rich k, Kevin, Carl and Ron. At the Big Boy table Tom was all excited to get to play for the big bucks. That excitement lasted 1 hand. Gone.
Next out was Big D. Big D did a great job subbing for Kasey collecting 10 points on the night. Next out once again in that 6-7 slot was Wayne. Wayne got rivered and once again went home without some cash. Busting out on the bubble was Rich L. Rich went all-in with K-Q and was called with Randy's A-something. Rich hit a king on the flop but Randy caught a 2 on the river to make a straight and knocking out Rich. Tourney 1 winner Jeff busted out in 4th and Shane took 3rd. ( no wins in 2 weeks, hmmmmm ) That left Randy and Doc to play heads up for the $120. Doc prevailed and collected his first SNS tourney win. Good Job. The one thing about Showdown #3 was the amount of cards hit on the river. There were so many hands made on the river.
Geo Watch. Geo was alerted of Waynes poor showing and hid under the couch. Wayyne was seen looking for something to kick and proceeded to do a number on his golf bag in the garage. How big must the monkey be on his back. The only player left not to cash. He's going to be like a caged beast in 3 weeks.
Another great night and looking foward to #4

POINTS CORRECTION
Sorry for the omission Jeff. Your " super sub " totaled 4 points for you. You have some work to do. The big boy table misses you.

Showdown #2
The Saturday Night Showdown moved it's play to the Schutter sports bar Saturday night. Showing up for the first time was "Doc" Sheldon and last years final table champion Rich Kozic along with the silent assasin Ronnie Raup. Eric Vitunac once again subbed this time for Jeff Kay. The menu for the night was highlighted by a fiery, volcanic concoction that surely put a few showdown members on the late night bowl. I was especially concerned for Kasey Lewis. I think Kasey had about 5 bowls of the plutonium laced stew and may have had multiple visits to the powder room prior to sun-up.
As we move onto the nights action I just have to say that the new format is working out quite well and the adjusted blind structure and chip count I think is right on. Tourney #1 was quite an exciting sporting event. Tournament director Rich L finally got the monkey off his back with a win collecting the $130 first prize. Rich called Kasey's all-in with pocket kings and took down the pot. Rich topped Randy by about 1500 chips to take the chip count and the 10 points that comes with a first place finish. Rounding out the cash table was Rich K in fourth. At the Kiddie table Tom rolled through the table collecting $20 and the bonus point.
Tournay #2 saw a flurrey of action right when the 4th player was out. Two other players busted out and we had a 6 player cash table along with a 6 player kiddie table. In the cash table, tourney #1 winner Rich L. and Wayne had low stacks and went at eachother a few times. Rich caught a 5 on the turn in one hand against Wayne to make a set that saw Wayne just look away in disgust. It just wasn't happening for the Renz boy tonight. One hand that summed up Waynes night was getting quad 7's and taking down a whole 100 chips. Ouch! The cash table continued on with Rich busting out on the bubble. Rich called Shane's all-in needing a spade or a 5 to take down the pot. Shane's 2 pair held up and we were down to 4. Ronnie busted out in 4th and tourney host Chris took 3rd. Play was back and forth until Kasey finally took down the mighty Shane for his first career SNS win. Over at the 6 handed kiddie table there were 2 $20 re-buys resulting in a $60 first place pot. Tom and Eric battled it out to the bitter end with Tom winning again. They decided to split the pot and Tom took the bonus point. After the play Tom, Eric, Rich, Kevin and Chris stayed and watched a thrilling finish to the Texas - Texas Tech game won by Tech. A hidden camera was placed in the bedroom of Rich L. house and he was seen wide eyed staring at the ceiling all night long. There was also a hidden camera placed at the Renz household. We saw a disturbing image of poor little Geo getting an old fashioned whoopin' by some maniac in a black wig. I think Geo should start finding a new hiding place on poker night.
Showdown #3 will be hosted by Tom. Location to be determined. It will be either at Tom's house or possibly at the club. The problem with the club is there is a dress code. While some of us are members and have the proper attire to enter without any fanfare I don't know how the hoity-toity crowd will react to Shane strutting in wearing his rags. I'll bet some of those members may grab hold of their wallets as they watch the Reigning SNS champ walk through their lobby.
As of right now Kasey Lewis will miss showdown #3. He will be up near the Artic Circle ( no shit ) and will need a sub. We will look for him.
See everybody around
