SHOWDOWN #3

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
