Josey and Yose ended
up down the basement with the young punks
Christian,
Craigy,
Shane,
Clay and a
reluctant Kyle.
Upstairs it was Luke,
Donovan,
Sweat,
Pops,
Witzee, and
Ohare at the
mature
table. It wasn’t long before Pops built a huge chip stack and
Witzee (ain’t gonna be no rebuy) was the first man out.
Surprisingly enough little
Witzee was the 2nd man out and by 9 PM we were down
to 11 players and combined
tables downstairs after a quick
fireworks show
(just 1 mortar). Downstairs, Christian was playing almost every
hand and bullying everyone around with his huge chip stack. The
sweat was also holding a nice stack as the Doll and Luke were
sitting like statues. O'hare was passing out
grappa when he wasn't busy
dumping it on the pool table. Shane went all in a
few times and survived while
Sweat and Christian had several epic showdowns with Christian
pulling it out on the river. Soon it was down to six players and
the party moved back upstairs – O’hare, Yose, Shane, Clay, Sweat and
Christian. Sweat and Christian had huge edge in chips over
the
rest of the players. The light weights dropped out quickly as the
blinds were raised and soon it was down to Sweat, Christian and Yose
with Christian the leader and Yose just barely holding on. Sweat
went all in on Christian who called with a crappy hand but ended up
pulling trips on the river to knock his uncle out.
Now it was down to Yose and
Christian with Christian having a three to one chip advantage.
After some cat and mouse games Yose started to get closer to
Christian and when he hit top pair with a queen on the flop he went
all in and Christian called
with pocket kings and it was all but over. The turn and the
river were no help to Yose and Christian was crowned the Poker Champ
of 2007 at about midnight.
