Only 1 point separates the top 3 on the leader board. And this with another triple points on the horizon. How'd we get to this point?
I had sucky cards again, but thanks to Ish I wasn't first out this week. Dustin, after surviving a devastating hit from Devin's quad queens, was dealt a death blow when Bobby's quad queens put him out. Chris did ok, Justin, as sick as he is did better and the top two battled for about an hour but Bobby just couldn't overcome Devin's chip lead. The numbers:
7. Ish 1
6. Jeff 2
5. Dustin 3
4. Chris 4
3. Justin 5
2. Bobby 8 (including a bonus point for quad queens)
1. Devin 11 (including a bonus point for quad queens and one for Justin's bounty)
On Thursday, November 12 Dustin will be playing his last game here at TNP as he will be moving back to Lubbock. On that night we'll have another triple points game and spaghetti will be served. Until next week, may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!

Adam's return
Was most impressive. Months since his last appearance, Adam quickly reminded us why he was one of the most feared and respected players of TNP Phase 1. A ten player field began the night but was reduced by one when Rich, a rookie to TNP, was first out.
The surprise of the night came when Bobby was ousted next, soon followed by Devin. Lisa was next to hit the skids with Ish close behind. Dustin, starting out like gang busters, soon ran out of gas. Not the gas he bombed us with last week, the gas needed to outlast everyone else. Justin made the top 4, Chris top 3 and the heads up came down to Adam and myself. It's been months if not a year or more since he and I were the only ones playing.
Starting out with close to chip equity, bad hand after bad hand soon had Adam with a sizable chip lead. The outcome was inevitable and I soon succumbed to his superior cards. Here's the night by the numbers.
10. Rich 2
9. Bobby 4
8. Devin 6
7. Lisa 8
6. Ish 10
5. Dustin 12
4. Justin 14
3. Chris 16
2. Jeff 20
1. Adam 28 (including bonus points for Devin's bounty and quad 3s)
Until next week, may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!

A cold wind.....
Brought the season's first real chill but the poker was hot and furious! Could Mark make it 5 wins? Would Bobby keep his lead? Let's find out.
First to exit was that hair cutting fool Justin W. Next out was Dustin. Chris, in the midst of a slump left the table next. Ish soon followed and Bobby couldn't last past 5th place even with the help of quad 10s. Justin B. kept winning his all ins but was finally eliminated. Mark did manage to make the top 3 and that left Devin with 95% of the chips so I went all in on the very next hand and ended the inevitable outcome. Devin kept hitting the river and tonight was just his night. Here are the numbers.
9. Justin W. 1
8. Dustin 2
7. Chris 3
6. Ismael 4
5. Bobby 6 (including 1 bonus point for quad 10s)
4. Justin B. 6
3. Mark 7
2. Jeff 9
1. Devin 12 (including Mark's bounty point)
Next week is double points night. Until then may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!

Quattro
Mark made it 4 wins tonight. Were it not for his schedule at work, he might even have the points lead as well. But as it is he'll settle for the wins lead. It came down to him and unexpected Bobby in heads up. Mark took out every player with only one exception, Devin. Bobby took care of him. It started when Mark took out Dustin & his wife Justin in the same hand. From there it was only a matter of time until he had his 4th win. Ish bowed out next followed by a surprising performance by Yippie! Chris next then Lisa. Devin was out next, thanks to Bobby, then Justin B. I made the top 3 BUT I should have done better if not for Mark talking Bobby to call my straight with his flush. Dam Bobby! The final 2 battled back and forth and it could have easily gone either way even though Mark entered the heads up with a sizable chip lead. Here's the night by the numbers.
11. Dustin 1
10. Justin W. 2
9. Ish 3
8. Yippie 4
7. Chris 5
6. Lisa 6
5. Devin 7
4. Justin B. 9 (including 1 bonus point for quad kings)
3. Jeff 9
2. Bobby 12 (including 1 bonus point for quad queens)
1. Mark 14 (including 1 bonus point for Jeff's bounty point)
Mark will be here next week so the bounty point will be available. If we don't take him out then it'll be 3 weeks before we have another shot at him so you know what we have to do! Until then, may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!
