SHOWDOWN #1

The long awaited start of the 3rd season of the Saturday Night Showdown has come. Season 3 got off with a bang at Waynes house Saturday night. Newcomers Eric Vitunac was at the football game and Tim Hockney was absent as well. Filling in for Eric was none other than Phil the Show Killer. ( ESPN Reference ) Tourney #1 got off to a great start with some of the usual suspects venturing off to the Kiddie Table. Kiddie table King Jeff headed the table along with Kasey, Kevin and Chris. Every time I looked at Chris all I could see was tailgate hangover. This dude is not in the right mental capacity to duel it out with some of the greatest poker players in the world. I mean really, we got players that play Q-J like its pocket Aces and WIN! What a JOKE!! All kidding aside we have a great group of guys and our league runs well because of it. Onto the Cash Table. 2 time defending champ Shane took down the seasons first tourney winning a chip count against Rich K. Wayne and Phil took 3rd and 4th ( that's a JOKE ) while last seasons cash winner Tom busted out on the bubble. Rich K started the season off great with a $50 win. I think I heard through the grapevine that Mrs. K suggested to Rich that he wins some money DURING the poker season and not wait for the final table. I geuss he took her advice.
Tourney #2 saw Rich L, Randy , Phil, Shane and Rich K all make the Kiddie table. Shane took down the $20 prize outlasting Randy in a marathon. Over at the Cash Table Ron hung in there against semi-pro Kasey Lewis to take down his first win since season 1. Kasey is used to playing with the likes of Phil Hellmuth and getting tips from Jackie Chan. Thats a little different that looking across the table at Leroy and listeneing to Randy ramble on about how to play 9-4 offsuit. Anyway Ron took the $130 top prize while Kasey netted $60. Coming in 3rd was the Big Fella Kevin for $40 and gate kid finishing 4th for $30.
Great night of cards with more to follow. The next showdown is set for October 3rd. I will post the host this week.
