Week 13: Bad Beats and Fear the Beard!
With 8 weeks left , Steve “The Godfather” Trizis who represented the league in the WSOP Main Event last year is now tied in 2nd place with Darryl “Fear the Beard” Woodruff. Darryl finished 20th of 6,260 in the 2018 WSOP Monster stack also representing the League. Can they overcome Kenny O’Donnell who has held 1st place (or occasionally tied for 1st) since week 6? Is it even possible? Week 13 was full of bad beats for some, amazing hands for others. At the end of the night Ed Sojak and Darryl “Fear the Beard” Woodruff chopped first -overtaking Karl Man who had quite a stack going into the final three. Karl won week 12 and with a third place finish this week he is quickly leapfrogging up the leaderboard.
At the feature table Steve Trizis with KK gets Darryl to shove on the flop and he gets there. Steve, interviewed after the hand said “So sucky.”
Notice Darryl’s “Cheshire Cat” smile.
In another hand Steve’s bad beats contined when Darryl had Q9, Steve Trizis AA – All In post flop.
Meanwhile Doc Brown was having some run good. Doc jammed w/10s. Rob jammed w/ AA. Flop is A J 9. Turn 8. River 7. Doc had a runner runner straight.
In the above picture Steve Trizis again had KK, this time Tonia had A10. Tonia bet the flop and Steve jammed. Tonia called. The Godfather muttered something about “Swimming with the Fishes”.
In the above picture Steve had J10, Gene AJ. There was another hand with Steve and Gene before this one after Steve Rebought.
Steve Trizis shoved utg pre after just looking at one Ace. Gene calls in the BB blind and turns over KQo and binks a Q.
Tonia 67 turned two pair on the turn, unaware that Gene with A9 was already there. Tonia was All In on turn and Gene improved his already better had to a full house on the river.

Our roving reporter Karl Man shared a couple of hands from the outer tables:

Ann had the KK but Herb hits perfect perfect
Landon Vs Jeff . Jeff opens MP. Jeff says beforehand , if you shove I’m gonna call.
