At Artisans Summer Fling:
There was a 20 gold buy in with 8 players. It was Hold-em
and each player started with 7000 chips with 20 minute blinds. There were 2
rebuys in the first so the pot was 200 gold. It was decided that the top three
players would get gold. As has been his way, (hold-em is not his game) Sir
Shawn was out first. The smaller stacks kept winning their all-ins so it was
quite a while until we got down to the final 4. The stacks were fairly close
between Damion, Eamon, K, and Tao. The first person to earn points was Eamon,
when his all-in hopes were crushed by Damion. This put Damion as the large chip
stack. A bit more back and forth and K was getting short; he doubled up through
Damion putting everyone back on even ground. Eventually both Damion and Tao
made a hand on the river; unfortunately for Damion the Ace that made his
straight, made Tao’s flush. Damion went out in 3rd getting his 20
gold buy in back and deck points. This left Tao and K to fight it out. And then
Tao went card dead. He lost almost every hand for the next 30 minutes giving K
the chip lead. Tao saw his stack dwindle and went all in with 10 5 off, K
called with A 3 off, and it was over when the board was no help. Tao received
55 and K won 105 gold.
So the points awarded were
1)
Sir K 5
2)
Tao 3
3)
Damion 2
4)
Eamon 1
We did have a few new faces who came close to the points
good luck to Tazzy and Hippy the next time they enter.
This puts the standings at:
1)
Tao 12
2)
Jinx 9
3)
Mathias 9

Eamon 6
