JD Takes Event 3 (Omaha)

The Rookie Run continued this weekend as JD added a first-place to Sean's earlier second-place finish. With a relatively small field the final table started after three exits. After the 10th place departure the field narrowed quickly. This week's Cash Couple were Pablo and Gracie, but once again the woman outlasted the man, with Pablo taking fourth. Hank "Here is my Plan" went out third and the HU battle was JD vs. Gracie, with JD taking the title.

And if you look closely you'll see the only instance of JD smiling...



Hank still has no chip for the season, but his goal of cashing in every tourney is in tact.

The season race is still tight. Baklava falls to third after missing this week. Pablo moves to fourth just ahead of Tim and Phil. Three players are tied for the eighth and final TOC spot - Gracy, Jim, and SeanSP. And finally, I'm going to make a tourney one day soon - maybe Five Card Draw. Look for the guy with the T-shirt that says "Bearded Mike is a bitch and not even in the Top 8."

Thanks again to Sean for hosting - I heard it was a great location with a full side game shortly after the final table began.
