Happy New Year!

Double points, $40 pot and a new year. Excellent poker was played tonight at the BB&L with a good crowd attending. Mark & Justin making a return after a month long absence. With Christmas over and the retail season slowing down, we had a full crew. To help bring in the new year, a $5 buy in and double points made playing and, even more important, winning, crucial as the entire bracket could have seen major changes. But, as 2008 ended, so 2009 began with little movement in the leader board.

Mark took 2 players out simultaneously when Crystal & Lisa moved all in on the same hand. Nick was out next followed by Chris. Justin played exceptionally well tonight and placed 4th. The top 3 spots were playing for the top 3 spots and ended in that order. Mark helped himself by garnering a bonus point for quad queens, then Deb put me out to win the night. Here's the breakdown

8. Crystal 2
7. Lisa 4
6. Nick 6
5. Chris 8
4. Justin 10
3. Mark 14 (including 2 bonus points for quad queens)
2. Jeff 15
1. Deb 17

So things remain basically as they did last year. I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve celebration. I know we did here at the BB&L. See you all next week. And I think we'll have a pancake supper next week as I have lots of bacon & sausage left over. Until then may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!

Hmmm, I may be mistaken...but I think I should have 29 points. I had 19 yesterday. I'm just sayin...
