Season 23 Week 2

What a way to start week 2.

There was a total of 25 people battling it out on the felt for their shot at glory.

I want to start off by saying thanks to everyone who came and made it on time to received the bonus.

Very Nice!

This week proved to be very tricky.

Out of the 25 players there were only 3 gone at the break.

When the play resumed at 25-50 there were still 3 tabless of players.

It was around 10pm that the tables were combined with 16 players.

The blinds kept creeping up like they know how.

Of course not all would survive the blinds and the all-ins.

With the elimination of these people brings us to the bubble.

4 names on this weeks list: Frank, Alan, George and Andrew.

It was the birthday boy himself who popped the bubble.

This week, Alan, went out in 4th place.

Money time was: Andrew, George and Frank

Among these remaining players, George was the only who had previously qualified.

It was George who went out in 3rd place with a win of $42.

That means two new qualifers for the TOC this week.

Heads-up brought us Andrew and Frank.

Because of the large turnout, both players were guaranteed at least $106.

First hand of this heads-up battle had an all-in but not call.

This set the pace for the rest of the game.

Not long after the first card was dealt the tournament was over.

The tournament ended around 12:45 with the last hand of 400-800.

In 2nd place, with a win of $106 was....................Frank.

That meant, week 2, the chip, and $212 belonged to our winner.....Andrew.

Congratulations to both Frank and Andrew for qualifying for the TOC.

* interesting side note: as of week 2, George has a 10 point lead.

Can he keep it up?

Will he return for week 3 or be blinded in?

Will there be two new qualifiers next week?

You know the answer...............come next week to find out!!!!

Good luck everyone.
