Week 1: Former WSOP seat winner Barry Jacobs and League Founder Dave Bennett chop first! What a welcome back!

January 2, 2020January 30, 2020

Despite the start during the holiday week, plenty of members – new and old- registered for the league during week one. Quite a few additional members plan on coming next week as well and we should be looking at a 40 person roster if this season is similar to Spring Seasons in the past. Spring season membership is generally higher due to the end coinciding with the start of the WSOP in Vegas. The league plays 21 weeks ending before the end of May to allow for players who will be traveling to Vegas for the WSOP.

At the feature table in level one we had Ed Sojack with KKK over John Gordon with 777 putting a huge dent in Muscles chip stack.

Doc B AA>Clive QQ all in preflop, still in LEVEL ONE. Did they notice it was LEVEL ONE?!

Level one was over… and it was noted at the outer table that Marv “Duckman” Karlins did not shove at all!

John Gordon 55>Clive Q7 while both short stacked due to those earlier hands.

And Doc Brown’s 35o sent Clive to the window

John then doubled up through Andra JJ>TT to build up his stack. Andra had some chips so it didn’t hurt too much.

Meanwhile at the outer table Garth hits quads after all in on the turn and SuperDave Kaucher had two pair

Doc B AT>John Gordon AJ rivered a straight for the knockout sending John to the window. Doc Brown was certainly on a heater building a big stack through the night.

And Clive was out when Doc B bested Clives TJ♠️♠️

New league member Alec faded the snap and Herb folded to his all in

At the outer table Marv takes Darryl out with fours full of twos (quack quack)

And we were down to 2 tables

Dave Bennett’s 9T> SuperDave AJ to knock him out

Ed V KK>Herb 8T♦️♦️ Herb flopped the flush, Ed’s set turned into a better flush on the river!

Marv KK>Ann KJ♣️♣️ for the knockout

Herb KT♠️♠️>Ed V”s QQ

Doc B’s A5>Muscles short stack all in with J7

Dave B > Herb for the knockout

Alec’s TT held >Doc Brown’s Jacks

Jake JT>Ed V for the knockout

Dave B faded the snap when Derek folded

Dave B TJ♠️♠️ >Jacob QJ

We then had our final table with a mix of old, new, and returning from the past members including two of our WSOP Main Event seat winners from last season! (Jason and Andra)

What a good looking group of people!!!

Mark AT>Barry A3 for a double+

Derek AA>Duckman 78

Dave Bennett’s AK>Andra 77 for the knockout. at 2k/4k Andra raised, Dave reraised and Andra shoved preflop since after her initial raise she was pretty close to 10bb. With 6 outs, Dave caught his A to win the hand sending Andra to the rail.
