Week 16 & 17: Deja Vu for Steve T & Darryl on 4/18 while Trey jumps up the leaderboard after a chop with Doc Brown 4/25!

The Elite Tampa Bay Poker League had some great league representation at the Hard Rock’s Tampa Deep Stacks over this past weekend. League Member Karl Man was part of a 4 way chop. He could buy into the main event twice (if they allowed that)! Nice win Karl!!! Marv Karlins found his way to a bag and also cashed 15th out of 1065 entries! He said on twitter “Today I realized I’m not the worst poker player on Earth.”  Donald “Doc” Brown also finished in the money.    It is rumored that Karl, Marv and Doc all feel that their wins are solely due to the skills they have learned in the TBEPL.

After 17 weeks of play Steve Trizis holds 1st place on the leaderboard after his chop for first during week 16.  Kenny O’Donnell slid to second 3 points behind Steve.  Trey is in third.  Landon Brown, John Gordon and Darryl “Fear the Beard” Woodruff round out the top 6 with a 3 way tie for 4th.  Everyone in the league with the required weeks of play (16 of 21 weeks by season end and 3 of the last 5 weeks) is still in the running for a package and most could finish with a Main Event seat if they get a hot streak these next 4 weeks.  It’s still up for grabs as to who will win a Main Event Seat though the top 2 seem to have it pretty sewn up.

Week 16:  Steve T makes Darryl an offer he can’t refuse

In the end of week 16 Steve T and Darryl were heads up and finally agreed to a chop.  Both Steve and Darryl are running good this season and have won at least once this season.

Some Week 16 hands follow and below that the week 17 summary:

Steve Trizis took out Chrissy AK vs his QQ.  How could he do that to Chrissy?! What is wrong with him?  It’s Chrissy for f$%#sake!!!

Herb’s looking forward to the nine handed play at the Hard Rock.  He’s shopping 32 inch tablets right now!

Karl took out Aaron with A-K.  He turned that smile upside down.

Karl took out Jake with 22. He held.

Mark AA>Edie 88

Mark JJ>Doc Brown’s K8.

Mark Winchell & Doc Brown both had K8  for 2 pair and chopped.  Mark said to Doc Brown “you play that garbage?”  Mark eventually held on for a third place finish after being a short stack at the start of the final table.  This moved Mark into the top 10 tied with Gene for 9th place on the current leaderboard and in contention for a prize package.
