More action at the May tournament than the NY Knick players could get at the club after routing the Celtics.   Lots of rebuys and lots of crazy action early with Scottie L. getting his jacks cracked on back to back hands against nines and then tens, and both times with clean flops.   Canadian Ted was heading home early after rebuys closed, but a borrowed $100 kept him around for more.

 

When we got down to the final table, play was tighter than Wheel's pants after a Golden Corral buffet, but it finally broke loose, with Weaz having one of the bigger stacks after the bubble burst.   Weaz played well, but succumbed to the siren's call of the bounty on Wheel.   After a few tight folds, he couldn't stand it anymore and called Wheel's all in, only to find his KJ dominated by Wheel's AA.   Knocked down to an average stack, he made the money but eventually busted out.

 

After the dust settled, it got down to a battle between Ted and Wheel.  With almost identical stacks, the money got all in as Ted called Wheel's all in with A2 only to find Wheel with 99.   Before Wheel could calculate his statistical advantage to the fourth decimal point, an ace showed up in the window and it held, propelling Ted to his first victory in only his second tournament, while also claiming the bounty.   I'm not sure who leant Ted the $100 or how much he's going to owe them, but it was a rebuy well spent.

 

While Shooter had the highest hand (quad 6's, immediately after moving tables), no one hit the jackpot hand of quad threes despite a proliferation of 33 all-ins at the final table.  Next action is to root for Directa in his WSOP appearance at the double bomb pot Omaha tourney!!
