One Ball, Two Titles

KCL had 13 players, a bump up from the last two events. Despite placing second in deuce-to-seven triple draw, JD was first out in the single-draw variety. That also meant he couldn’t add to his season-leading kill total. Candy made her second early exit in a row, costing her the season lead in points. Of course, it’s possible that after Tim stormed out of five-card draw she just decided that home was too unbearable to keep showing up her husband. Get off the shnod Candy!


After Alex lost three close hands in a row, he was next out. Bearded Mike got Phil all-in with a slight chip margin and a 3567 vs. his 2346. After turning over a queen he was tossing the chips to Phil when Frenchie revealed his eight-outer – a king, and took his leave. After Sean’s rough-ten fell to a T8, the final table was set with seven.


Shelley looked to be in jeopardy but pulled a number-five against a rough-8 to double up. Still, she fell before Hank, who went out to Bearded Mike’s 9 and set up the bubble. Bak pulled a 97 but was bounced when he found himself up against Tim’s 87. He was not happy. After some back-and-forth Bearded Mike eventually got his third kill of the night by taking out Jim.

And then he blew a 35k chip lead with 72k in play. After being whittled down to 10k we went AI UTG with 234xx and ran into a luckbag’s pat 9. Tim and Dave battled until with a 1k chip lead Tim put Dave’s pat-8 all-in, and drew three cards to the second-nuts. Just kidding, I have no idea how it ended, but we know this: Tim has twice as many titles as he has balls, and the season point lead with 88 points. Congratulations Tim!

For all the two-balled (and no-balled) players without two titles, the next event is Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Hank’s house.

Blicka blicka.

What a move.

At first I thought it said "One Ball and Two Titties."

I guess Tim does have man-titties... probably only has one of those, as well.

Phil had 21 "outs" to lose: 4 kings, 4 aces, 3 deuces, 2 threes, 3 fours, 3 fives to make a straight, and 2 sixes. A pair still loses to a queen... How did you place higher than me???

Haha I like how Steve tried to embarass Mike with the number of outs but most likely miscalculated it himself TWICE and had to delete posts at 12:56 AM and 12:57 AM and then got it right at 12:59 AM.

I didn't miscalculate shit... I had to get the boldface type right and fucked that up twice.

To be fair, what I said was "what kind of luckbag catches a pat-9 when you have five big blinds and a two card draw."
