A Royal Flush and a Win

August 6th - Home Game

The list of 13 players were as follows Cristine, Diane, Joe, Kitty, Brad, Michael, Phil, Godfrey, Cindy, Hoa, Joan (Stacey's Mom), Stacey, and I. Stacks to start were 15,000, with rebuys for the first hour (for stacks <= 5,000) and either a 5,000 or 10,000 add-on after the first hour. There were five $10 rebuys (yours truly had tow of these). There were 18 $5 add ons. One very notable hand was a ROYAL FLUSH - by Godfrey.
He took some chips off Hoa with this hand, but Hoa ended up folding to Godfrey's all-in, so Hoa avoided a rebuy.

We only needed to lose three before the final table. The three were (in order) Diane, Cristine, and Joan. The chipcounts at the final table were:

Player	Count
Stacey	82.2K
Godfrey	52.7K
Brad	49.6K
Cindy	31.6K
Kitty	27.9K
Joe	27.9K
Michael	27.8K
Jim	26.1K
Hoa	25.9K
Phil	15.8K

Play continued and I believe most of the shorts were relieved to see the size of the orbit increase. The big boys were pounding hard and it was difficult to limp to see a flop.

I was the first one knocked out from the final table when my AJ was cracked by Cindy's JT. She hit 2 pair on the flop and I didn't improve.

Next to go was shorty, Phil. Followed by Michael, Kitty and Hoa. Cindy was the bubble girl.

Godfrey, Joe, Stacey, and Brad battled it out and Brad took it down. Stacey was 2nd, Joe, 3rd, and Godfrey 4th.

Brad got KK and AA on the last two hands to take out Joe, then Stacey (she basically surrendered to Brad's 7:1 chip advantage).

It was an all around good night and we appreciated everyone coming out and all those that brought some food.

BTW - I couldn't load the videos this time. It was my first outing with the camera and I couldn't seperate them in the format I created them. Next time...

Congratulations to the money winners, Godfrey for the royal, and Brad for the win!!!
