SHOWDOWN #2

The Saturday Night Showdown #2 took place saturday night at Tom's house. Play was delayed a little since many of the showdown players played in the St Joe's Golf Tournament. Tourney #1 lasted quite some time. The blinds got up to 300/600 before we split tables. Ron ultimately won a chip count against Rich L with Shane finishing 3rd and Tom 4th. Big hand of the tourney had to be Tom slow playing AA just limping in. Rich L had J 3 and just checked from the big blind. The flop produced 2 threes and Rich had made a set. Tom decided to get aggresive with his aces and got busted out by Rich's set of threes. Any bet from Tom pre flop would have pushed me off that hand and Tom probably finishes in the money. Ron continued his great play with his second win of the season. Over at the kiddie table Eric won the $20 first place.
Tourney #2 got going and moved along a little quicker. Rich, Kevin Eric and Shane made it to the kiddie table that was finally taken down by Shane. At the cash table the final 4 was Kasey, Randy Jeff and Wayne. Wayne busted out in 4th and was followed by Randy. Jeff and Kasey played heads up for quite some time resulting in our first split pot. Jeff and Kasey agreed to split the $210 and play 1 hand for the win. Jeff made a pair of queens while Kasey had sixes. Hand of this match was an all-in by Kasey with A J called by Jeff with K Q. The flop produced a 10 and nothing much else. The turn gave Kasey a J making a pair. An A hit the river and Kasey had made 2 pair not realizing the A made a straight for Jeff. This hand knocked Kasey way down to about 2 or 3 BB in his stack. Kasey doubled up a couple timesand found himself even up again. Thats when these two titans of the felt decided to split the pot.
Great night of cards as always. Next showdown will be at Randy K's house
