Week 14: Bob Scholz on a heater this week but Ken Brown stays in it for a chop!
This week started out as the Bob and Bob show at table 5-7 as Bob Scholz could do no wrong – starting with multiple straights, moving on the multiple flushes, then multiple Full Houses. Bob did fold a 3 at one point so he missed out on the quads that were destined for him in that particular hand when three more 3s showed up by the turn. Bob S doubled up early to 40K++ when his 44 beat Mike Beattie’s A5 two pair flop with a full house.
SuperDave Kaucher may need to watch out – Bob Scholz is thinking he should be called SuperBob. We’ll give it another week.
Ken Brown, with 7 final tables this season, has been consistently doing well and after chopping with Bob S this week he has moved up 5 places from 10th to 5th. One win can make a big difference at this point or even consistent final tables. Bob Scholz moved up from 15th to 9th with his chop this week. Barry, with 8 final tables so far, has taken over 3rd place from Tonia. Steve and Don D remain in 1st and 2nd place. We may need to have a bounty? Chrissy made a big jump of 7 spots with her 3rd place finish. Allen Wiseman final tabled again this week. Allen had a slow start this season with no final tables for the first 8 weeks but since then he has final tabled 4 weeks including one chop for 1st and has moved up to 18th place that quickly tying with Andra who started out well placing 2nd the first week with 3 final tables this season. Allen is a good example that, with 8 weeks still left, every player who is still in the league this season has a chance to win this though we may need to lock Steve in a closet every Thursday from 6:30 until the buy in is over.
Remember, if you aren’t in the top ten right now – look to the Black Knight from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” for inspiration:
[they fight until Arthur cuts off Black Knight’s left arm]
King Arthur: Now, stand aside, worthy adversary!
Black Knight: ‘Tis but a scratch!
King Arthur: A scratch? Your arm’s off!
Black Knight: No, it isn’t!
King Arthur: Well, what’s that then?
Black Knight: I’ve had worse.
[after Arthur’s cut off both of the Black Knight’s arms] King Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard, you’ve got no arms left!
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: Look!
Black Knight: It’s just a flesh wound.
[the Black Knight continues to threaten Arthur despite getting both his arms and one of his legs cut off]
Black Knight: Right, I’ll do you for that!
King Arthur: You’ll what?
Black Knight: Come here!
King Arthur: What are you gonna do, bleed on me?
Black Knight: I’m invincible!
