The second event in the B series went down TONIGHT ! (well, this afternoon into the evening). The fields are getting larger, deeper, and stronger. At the start of the tournament I overheard several conversations about which table people would have rather drawn, and don’t think I heard a consensus amongst anyone.
This single buy-in tournament began with 29 able bodied rounders, and the top 5 would take home points, the top 4 took home their buy-in and some walkin’ around money. Without any further adieu (adieu is a funny word to type) here’s how it finished:
Congratulations to the winners !
1. EMG – 1363
2. Hulk – 783
3. Canadian Shawn – 522
4. Faith L. – 232
5. Jocko – 116
No joke, 4 of the top 5 were members of the EMHD‘s Useless Ass Staff (ask mh62) and the 5th member of the group was not Alan G. ! Faith L. played her way into some points and spending cash. Canadian Shawn made another cash and exploded from an extreme short stack to near the chip lead before his Ace/Jack ran into EMG’s Ace/King. Heads up play between myself (Hulk) and EMG lasted exactly one hand, and although we began discussions of a deal, I wasn’t about to fold pocket 7s heads up, and EMG sure as hell wasn’t running away with Ace/Queen. As you can see from the finish order EMG won that race and the tournament.
To hear EMG tell the story, he was fed cards all night. Perhaps he was, but to get through the field that started today he also needed to know what to do with them … it’s very tough to make the right decisions for an extended period of time, to know when your top pair is strong enough to win, and when it’s been cracked by the cheeky bastard in seat 8 that saw a flop with baby suited cards and hit 2 pair. Congratulations EMG, it’s been a long time coming.
