Tournament recap

At the outer table Joe Parrish 5555 > Ed VanLandingham mucked

At the feature table Shawn’s AA stayed alive after Alan jammed and Shawn snap called.

After losing heaps to Shawn O’Brien in the previous hand, Alan Thomas jammed his remaining stack after Andra opened and Eric Klatt reraised.

Andra rejammed and Eric folded. Andra had A3dd and Alan AKo. With a straight by the turn (Darryl called for the card on her behalf) Andra won the hand, Alan was sent back to the window.

Back at the outer table Joe Parrish’s AK > Steve Deloach’s QQ

Steve was out

Herb Woodbery was playing for Team Steve Trizis/Herb Woodbery this week but forgot to bring Steve’s horseshoe.

Steve sent a special message to players via text before the game but it backfired. Dugg Hadden got the knockout with a straight flush 5/8 over Herb’s flush for a big pot. Steve’s plea to let his partner win failed.

After break, and the end of rebuys, Darryl Woodruff was all in. Shawn called and Darryl flopped a straight for the double!

Down to three tables, Twitch Anderson and Ed VanLandingham were moved to the feature table with a warm welcome!

Darryl Woodruff was all in and Shawn called doubling Darryl up!

On a spade board Shawn bet and Ed VanLandingham, for the umpteenth time, jammed. Karl tanked for about 10 minutes. Or 3 1/2. He called 18,900. Shawn folded. Ed had a flush and Karl AK with A♠︎, 2♠︎ on the turn gave Karl the nut flush for the win.
