Quick Turnaround

So, Sunday boasted a cozy 5 player event with some of the top players from the 2005 circuit in the dundgeon. Matt was unfortunately kept at bay by the plague or "flu" if you will, which left the door open for Dan, Pat, Dave, Chris and Rudy to take an early lead on the former, and I mean FORMER champion. The game was fairly even with no rebuys early on, but the tide quickly shifted to the North-West where Pat and Rudy held the majority of the chips, leaving Dave, Dan and Chris to fight for the scraps. Dave pulled out a dissappointing last place finish, but claims he was getting no good cards all day. That left Dan and Chris battling it out for 4th place, where Dan got lucky and Chris got the other end and left in 4th. While those battles were going on, Rudy took some big pots from Pat (ones which the rest of us wisely stayed out of) leaving him in the lead. He quickly finished off Pat and it was left between Dan with about 1800 chips and Rudy with the rest (about 4200). Luckilly, Dan had one thing in his court, which was Rudy had to leave at 5:45, so Rudy was playing ultra aggressive trying to take Dan out. Long Story Short, Dan takes Rudy out in a few dramatic all-in's with Rudy ultimately succumbing his pocket 8's to Dan's pocket 10's. Let's Dance.

All said and done, Dan has a remarkable 7 point lead on Matt, one would almost say that it would be an unsurmountable lead... perhaps.

I've got the house to myself this weekend, so we're planning another event for Sunday afternoon around, let's say, 4-ish... be there, or be... not there.
