SHOWDOWN #7

Wayne and I are trying to set dates for the last 2 showdowns so that everyone can make it. We will be reaching out to the members over the next few days to figure out what times are good. If each member could get in contact with us and let us know the "bad "times for March and April that would help. Were looking at Fri Nights, Sat nights or afternoons and Sunday afternoons. With only 2 showdowns left plus the final table we should be able to get it done.

SHOWDOWN #7

The showdown headed into Frosty Valley's Back Yard at host Rich L's house. Missing tonight were cash and chip leader Kasey and Ron. The showdown beam shone bright over Deerfield and Eric answered the call ala Batman. Eric subbed for Kasey and Ronnie sent the ever intimidating Phil in his stead. Showdown #1 saw Phil, Kevin Doc and Wayne belly up to the Kiddie Table. I really thought Wayne broke through last showdown with his high finishes but tonight wasn't his night. Lots of bad beats and *&$%^&*(#$%*^^^#%%%#@ was heard from table 2. The big fella Kevin cashed at the kiddie table pocketing a cool $20. Over at the big boy table Tom and Jeff built up the sizeable chip stacks with Rich L not to far behind. Jeff probably had the hand of the night going all in against Rick K. Rich had pocket Aces and jeff flipped over A-6. As the tabled awwwwed for Jeff, Rich said all he needed were some sixes. And sixes he got. One on the flop and one on the turn. Jeff took down the pot and he back in it. The table got down to the final 4 with Tom, Jeff, RichL and Shane. Rich busted out Shane and then took a big blow to his stack from Tom. With only 250 chips left Rich doubled up 3 times and was looking to get back into it when Tom hit a card on the river to bust him out. Tom took down the 1st place cash and Jeff placed 2nd.
Tourney #2 saw Phil and Doc make early exits blowing off the kiddie table. Wayne was soon out again and was shortly followed by Jeff. Jeff and Wayne played heads up at he kiddie table and Wayne prevailed for the $20. Over at the Big Boy table Rich K was out in the first hand and was followed by Kevin. Eric and Tom busted next and we were down to 4. Rich L, Shane, Randy and Chris made the money and the hunt for the cash was on. First out was Randy. Rich L busted out Chris and we were down to 2. Shane and Rich L. These 2 traded blinds for about 20 minutes. Rich started to accumulate a small lead. Finally there was ann all-in by Shane and a call by Rich. Rich flipped over A-K to Shanes low suited connectors and Rich took down the Pot. Both Rich and Shane took advantage of the absent Kasey pilling up the points and Cash.
Once again another great night of cards. The next showdown's date is in a bit of question. Due to the skipped week of the Superbowl there seems to be a little confusion as to what the next date should be. Wayne and I will be in touch with everybody to see if we can come up with a good time. Until then stay tuned.
