Greatest comeback of the year!

With only a few games left, last Thursday night Bobby all but solidified his crowning of champion for 2009 with what was one of the greatest come backs in TNP history! First, however, a death blow was delivered to Giordan when his full house, jacks full of aces, ran into Devin's full house, aces full of kings. Justin B., either due to sympathy for Giordan or because of his queasy stomach, soon followed. I wasn't having sympathy pains or stomach pains, I just got my ass kicked and was out third. Ish followed me and a new comer to TNP, Justin Wheeler, finished 4th. Chris hit quad 4s to make the top 3. Then with our heads up players established, came the biggest come back I've ever seen. To start the heads up Devin had a slight chip lead. His quick ousting of Giordan helped early and often to push the smaller chip stacks around. His run continued until Bobby went all in with only $800 in chips against Devin's seemingly insurmountable stack of over $17,000. But, after doubling up on his first $800 all in, Bobby did the impossible and came back to win.

8. Giordan 1
7. Justin B. 2
6. Jeff 3
5. Ish 4
4. Justin Wheeler 5
3. Chris 7 (Including 1 bonus point for quad 4s)
2. Devin 8
1. Bobby 12 (Including my bounty point from last week and retaining his own bounty point from last week)

Only 2 games left this year. We'll take Christmas Eve off but be back for the triple point, $10 buy in New Year's Eve spectacular. Until next time, may all your cards be live and your pots be monsters!
