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
