DATE CHANGE FOR JAN 31 SHOWDOWN

The #6 showdown slated for Jan 31st is going to be moved to Friday night Jan 30th. The reason is that a large amount of the showdown members will be attending the Danville vs Milton game at Milton that night. Please let me know if this is a problem.

SHOWDOWN #4

The Showdown moved across thr river on a rare Sunday night showdown to the humble abode of one Randy Keister. Randy put out a fine spread and the showdown was rollin'. Subbing for Ron was Andrew Shoop. Tourney #1 saw it's first bounty action of the season. We will continue to have a bounty the rest of the way. The bounty in the first tourney fell on the head of Kevin. The player knocking out Kevin would receive a nice Part Poker jacket compliments of Jeff Kay. As we sat down at seperate tables, it didn't take long for Shane to collect the bounty knocking out Kevin. As play continued the kiddie table was joined by Jeff, Andrew and Randy. Over at the Cash table, Wayne was once again trying to get the monkey off his back. 6 for 6 at the cash table and yet no cash. Would this be the night. I thought it was when Wayne beat his good buddy Shane getting a club on the River to make a flush and take down a nice pot. I thought Wayne was on his way at that point. Not so. After I busted out in 8th place Wayne followed me over to the couch to watch some football. Soon after Doc and Rich K found their way to the sofa and we were down to 4. Back from his northern expidition, Kasey cashed out in 4th leaving us with 3. Tom, Shane and Chris played for what seemed like an eternity. Chris finally closed out Tom and took down the first place pot of $130. Taking down the kiddie table was Jeff. He's becoming a pro at that table.
Tourney #2 saw the bounty fall on the head of Randy. Randy was having a tough night so far. First I'm sure he was running around getting ready to host the showdown. Second he went down to a bad beat in the first tourney and now he had a bounty on his head. Yikes. As play started Tom was playing like his house was on fire and busted out first. He thumbed his nose to the kidde table and hit the road. Kevin Jeff and Wayne busted out next forming the first ever 3 handed kiddie table. Heading the Cash table was the young gun Andrew. Andrew had a sizeable chip stack at the cash table while on the other end of the table was myself with a lousy 325 chips. Both myself and Kasey busted out on the first hand of the cash table losing to Doc's trip 10's and we were quickly down to 6. Chris soon followed ending any hopes of a double dip. Out on the bubble was Shane who had a low stack heading into the table but couldn't hang on. The final 4 saw Andrew, Doc, Rich K and tourney host Randy playing for the big pot. Rich busted out first and Randy followed. Itwas good to see Randy end the night on a good note. There's nothing worse than hosting and collecting an egg. ( ask Wayne ). Andrew and Doc battled it out with Andrew finally busting out Doc and collecting $120. The youngster reminded me several days later about his win. During warm-ups at the Varsity basketball game Teusday night, Andrew felt compelled to engage in a little trash talking from the court to my courside seat. I heard something like my cash was burning a hole in his pocket. That's ok kid. Next time we'll send you home in your boxers.
Another great night of cards, food and fun. Were at the halfway point. The points standings are starting to take shape. Shane has built himself an 11 point lead and is looking to repeat as champ. There's still alot of cards left to play and anytghing can happen.
The showdown shuts down for the holidays. I hope everybody has a great holiday and new year. See everybody Jan 10th.
