I Want Candy...To Beat Hank

And she did, along with everyone else in Event Two (Ace-to-Five Triple Draw). The first couple to break up at the table was Pablo (Long Shot) and Robin (Gracie), followed by Timmy and Candy, and finally Hank and Bearded Mike.



















After getting down to five players the pace dragged on, hindered in part by a 15 minute visit from a sheriff's deputy (unrelated to the game - really...). Timmy busted out on the bubble to get to the four cash finishes. After riding about 8,000 chips all the way from the end of the re-buy period, Bearded Mike finally went out went his 7 came up just short to Candy’s wheal – which she held from the deal.

Candy started the end of the re-buy period with a big chip lead, but fluctuated widely after that. By the time it got down to three she had the chip lead once again. Hank gambled with her with a big draw, but came up short and busted out in third. Phil started heads-up with a big chip deficit, and didn’t wait long to stick it in. And lose. Candy won the top prize and the coveted Champions Chip, which Timmy swears he’s not letting her display.

Baklava finished well enough to maintain the top spot after two tourneys, although he still left mad (he went out after two consecutive beats, the second one administered by Hank “I’m not going for fourth” who decided to gamble with an inferior draw). Hank made his way into second. Beyond that it’s a pretty tight race with two new players tied at 28 points and in the Top 8.

Candy won "Hank's chip" - which he coveted a great deal. Also Tim swore he would not let her display it.


The next tournament will be Omaha on Saturday at 2pm, and will be hosted at one of our new GPT locales – Sean’s place. Directions will be in the forthcoming e-mail.
