Week 3: Derek Worley gets the win!
We had quite a few subs this week. Our summer league has a very lenient sub policy to allow for vacations etc. that normally occur during the summer. We had league alum Jeff Ferrara playing for Matt Trizis, Alex Brown for his Dad Donald “Doc” Brown, Chris Williams for Jacob Naumann, Allen Wiseman for Dave Miller, and Nick Scholz for his Dad Bob.
The members seemed a little more jovial than usual – possibly because they have all caught on to the vodka makes you play better secret.
At the feature table stacks were going in super early and players definitely took advantage of the one rebuy allowed rule.
In one of the first hands at the feature table at 100/100, Brenda Worley raised to 2200 and Jeff Ferrara shoved. Brenda tank folded showing Queens. Jeff showed a King and said he had another one too.
Brenda then sent Ed Vanlandingham to the rail with set over set QQQ>999. Both players flopped the set and were pretty confident that they’d win
Brenda could not fade the spade and Jeff doubled up when he called Brenda’s shove with a nut flush draw. Steve Trizis announced that he folded J but nobody cared what he folded. Jeff admitted that he “sucked out on the river”
Ed V’s two pair was good and Steve Trizis was sent to the rail.
Andrea RUOSI rivered the straight to double through Ed V
Andra Zachow shoved TT and SuperDave Kaucher, short stacked with 7K called along with Jeff Ferrara who had Andra covered. SuperDave tripled through Andra and Jeff but Andra didn’t lose anything since she won chips from Jeff that covered her loss to Dave.
Brenda doubled when her A9 flopped trips and Jeff shoved. Oops.
Jeff doubled through Andrea Ruosi
Dugg doubled through Andrea Ruosi. Jeff said “get him Dugg” and Andrea said “My name is Andrea”.
Steve Trizis doubled through SuperDave Kaucher 33>QQ
Andra Zachow rivered a FH over Jeff’s flush to stay alive!
A double up for Steve Trizis
And Steve Trizis was out when Dugg Hadden flopped his 2 pair.
Andra Zachow’s A3o turned into a monster and SuperDave was out (A2ss no good)!
Double knockout for Jeff Ferrara!
Michael Laake , a notable area player, doubled through Brenda
