Halfway through the season and we officially have TWO double winners!

Twenty-seven runners packed the tables last night for a marathon session full of brutal coolers, monster pots, and enough swings to make everyone question their life choices.

Early in the night, Daddy-O locked up Best Hand with Aces full of sixes, and somehow the Jackpot Hand of quad 4’s once again avoided capture, meaning the money rolls over to next month.

A few hands before the final table, StonefaceJG picked up a massive pot after turning a set of 7’s against The Reaper’s pocket Queens, sending him into the final table as chip leader.

Then came one of the wildest hands of the night.

StonefaceJG opened to 3K holding pocket Queens, only for The Dingo to fire back to 8K. StonefaceJG called, and the flop came K-Q-8. The Dingo led for 10K, StonefaceJG jammed, and after a long tank The Dingo folded AK face up, leaving the entire table stunned.

After a brief rules clarification on ante posting that ultimately changed nothing, StonefaceJG stayed hot and scored a double knockout with pocket Jacks, taking out both The Reaper and Jeffy while collecting back-to-back bounties worth $140.

From there the chips bounced around the table for hours. Weaz became the bubble boy, tensions tightened, and the grind got real.

Numbers exited in 5th, and shortly after Scotty Lob thought he had finally trapped StonefaceJG when he woke up with pocket Kings immediately after break… only to run into pocket Aces and finish in 4th.

Double A then embraced full chaos mode.

First, he shoved from the small blind with 9-3 and ran into The Dingo’s K-10. Somehow still alive, Double A decided poker destiny was calling and jammed the very next hand with 9c3c before finally heading to the showers courtesy of The Dingo.

Heads-up play between The Dingo and StonefaceJG lasted so long the blinds capped at 3K/6K, with the chip lead changing hands repeatedly deep into the night.

At 1:30AM, the final hand arrived.

The Dingo limped the button holding J♦9♦ while StonefaceJG checked Q♣10♣. The flop came 6♣ J♠ 9♣. StonefaceJG led out, The Dingo shoved, and was instantly called by StonefaceJG holding both the open-ended straight draw and flush draw. But the turn and river bricked out completely.

The Dingo began the hand with 103K to StonefaceJG’s 97K, and just like that… it was over.
