We had a very impressive tournament this week.
I know I say it all the time, however, this week was the week to be playing at the VPL.
There was an incredible amount of action.
First let's start off with a picture submission.
Who could it be? Well it's our very own Hellmuth Jr..........I mean Joe
This week the VPL was host to 24 people.
3 full tables of poker action.
And action it was!
This week the following hands were seen at VPL for week 4:
Not too long after starting the tournament we saw quad aces.
Then deep in the tournament there was a straight flush.
Which leads up to the best hand of the night...........a Royal Flush!
and it was a a natural royal flush which means he used both his hole cards.
There was a royal flush also in week 3.
Here is the kicker to that: Both of the royal flushes put a player out.
The two royal flushes put the same player out both weeks.
Poor Angela fell victim to the royal flushes in week 3 and 4.
If you're going to get put out, it might as well be with that hand.
We did have $28 go to the Holiday Invitational.
With all of this great action, the real question is who made it on the lists:
First off, we start with the bubble list:
Slugger, Jason, Alan and Andrew.
Out of these 4 players there are two previous qualifiers (Andrew and Slugger)
Now whose name will be removed from this list and not appear on the money list:
That person would be................Jason.
Jason popped the bubble going out in 4th place.
Money time: Andrew, Slugger and Alan
When there is a 4th, it's always followed by a 3rd.
No exception here: it was Slugger who went out next in 3rd place with a win of $40.
Heads-Up: Andrew and Alan
Andrew and came into the battle the chip leader.
The final hand was crazy:
Andrew makes a move on the flop and moves all -in. (Alan has Andrew covered and this time)
Alan goes into the tank and thinks and thinks.............and thinks.
He finally decides to make the call.
Andrew showed 6 9 and Alan showed A Q
Andrew had flopped two pair
By the time the river hit, Alan had caught runner runner for a 4 card flush to beat Andrew.
Andrew's 2nd place finish earned him $102.00
Alan's win earned him the chip and $204.00
Alan has now qualified for the TOC.
Congratulations to everyone to made the money.
What will the VPL come up with next week?
You know the answer...........come and play
Good luck to everyone.
