Thanks! incredible? Not really. I guess the only really notable play was from Bruinvalk. Bruinvalk showed up late. I'm not even sure if he had a single blind put in. But he sat down, and 1 hand later he stood up. I had A 4 in my hand. He had 5 2. He limped in on the big blind. Flop comes out 4 4 3. I think we checked it all around. Then A comes on the turn. Bruinvalk bets 250. I say, "I can't get away from this hand..." and I call. He goes all in with the wheel. I call. Of course Valkyrie312 did the same thing to me a little while later and took about 1000 chips away from me. The difference being I had pocket Aces when he got trip Jacks on the flop. I could sense it too, but I couldn't get away from the hand either. And I got the nut flush by the river, only to have the card that made my nut flush make him a boat. I could have pulled a Josh Arieh, but I didn't have it in me. When it got down to heads up, Snip312 was trying to play me without even looking at his cards. For a while, I kept having to fold too. He kept taking pot after pot. But once I started catching some cards I could play with, the tide changed for good. Evil was defeated, and MW Con crowned its inaugural poker champ! During the post champion's dinner interview, I posed the question to Exo: "So what do I get to win next year?" MUWAHAHAHAHA. Probably the best part of the poker tourney was that Kiririth's gf dressed up like minmei and served us drinks and cake. Oh... that's the other thing.... Eternal D is leaving us for a few years, so we had a cake with a picture of him...well it's the picture of my avatar, on the cake courtesy of NightmareB4Macross.
