Another great turn out this week including league alums Ed Vandingham subbing for Eric Buel and Tony Pellegrini subbing for Mitch Smith and Ian Feller subbing for Don Linsky . We had 48 entries for almost $4000 in the weekly prize pool in addition to 1/2 a $10k WSOP entry being added to our end of season pool! Almost $1500 on top this week!
A special thank you to Ron Groeller who brought a fine red wine wine from his family vinyard near his vacation villa in Tuscany.
Early at the feature table Dimitry Shamootin was all in short versus Clive Gavin. His AQ dominated Clive’s JJ despite the J on the flop – Dimitry flopped the straight!
Clive called for the 9 and thought his trip nines were good until Dimitry called for a Q for a full house!
At the outer table James McKinnon was influencing action buying Tequila shots for the whole table.
Down to three tables, Rob Fulton flops quads. Dan Goonin turned the straight. All in on turn.
Ondrei Ronhaar who hosts the popular “Get Rich or Die Scratching you tube channel donated scratch off tickets to the entire final table including the dealer, league admins, and a $50 ticket to the winner!
