I got pulled into a Board meeting for a group I'm part of, so I'm not able to make tonight an open night. My apologies.

How about tomorrow night then. I am playing cory and Aimee is playing Anthony.
I'm sure everyone is eager to hear the result of my match with Jenn tonight, as the tournament goes on the matches appear to be getting tougher and tougher. Tonight was no different, I give Jenn a lot of respect, everyone that she has eliminated has spoken about how well she plays. Here are some hands that we were involved in.Â
First hand, everyone has told me how aggressive she has been so I limp in with A3 planning on calling her down with anything. Jenn checks. Flop comes 3 5 8. Jenn bets and I call with A3. Turn 9. Jen bets 200. I call. River completes a flush but doesn't improve my bottom pair, Jenn and I both check. She shows two pair (89). Nice read me...Â
Blinds 100/200. Jenn raises to 700 I call in the BB with 78d. Flop comes Jh 2c 3c. At this point Jenn only has about 2500 back as I've been chipping away at her. I check and Jenn checks, I'm suspicious but pleased. Turn 10h. Check, Check. Hmmm. River 8c. I check and Jenn bets out 800. I think about it and analyse what she would have done with and J, 10 or flush draw on either the flop or turn and I'm certain I see a push. I call and she shows A9. I scoop the pot and scoop some more confidence. I hadn't made great reads at all tonight, like paying off her Aces with my 44 on a board with 5 overcards. This hand was a turning point I felt.
Another hand, I'm actually thinking this one was earlier. Jenn limps in with JJ, I raise it up with KQo. Jenn just flat calls. Flop KQQ. I fire out 1/3 of the pot. Jen folds. Great read, I show my Q...and then my K. It was a friendly match.Â
The match ended up taking about 2 hours to play in all and was fairly passive for the most part without any big confrontations. Jenn and I spoke about the result afterwards and she conceded that she maybe didn't play as well as she typically does. I agree, although she still played very well. I was expecting a very aggressive match from her which I really didn't see. I ended up winning when my pot committing raise (Jenn only had 1700 in front of her with blinds 200/400) with K2d beat her A9 after the flop showed an A and the turn and river hit kings. I look forward to playing Jenn another time when she guarantees she'll bring her 'A' game.
Thanks for the hospitality Jenn and Trevor. Pleasure to spend that time with you two!
- "stpboy" d. "kanga" to become our first guaranteed money finisher. Jenn guarantees herself at least a 5th place finish.
- I'm still missing 5 buy-ins from the following people; "Quickfingers", "magithighs", "800Over", "OnTilt98", "TNORTH" . Please get this to me as soon as you can.
- If you're having trouble locating your opponent, please contact me. I'll help as much as I can.
Thanks folded for the use of your table chips and having us over. Thanks to Anthony for coming out to cambridge so we could do the double header.
Aimee and Anthony's game went to early 2nd blind level. I'll let her post the details.
Folded and me went half way through the 3rd blind level. After folded promised to push first hand (which didn't happen) we got into a medium sized pot, which we chopped both having Q3. I had decided to be the aggressor and raised about 8 out of 10 hands. I had slowly chipped away at him and got the chip lead. For good or bad (they turned out good) I made some calls against him strictly because it was him. One hand in particular he tried to represent the K on the turn and the river again when it paired. I was sure he didn't have the K, but was worried that my Q would be outkicked. It turned out not to be the case.
He did get his money in on the last hand ahead (had me dominated KJ to QJ but was fortunate enough to hit the Q to take it down. 10 10 was the hand of the night with that being dealt about 7 times between the two of us.
Tonight was a battle, and I almost finished faster than my match with Rob. The first level was all rivers, none in my favor. I flopped top pair and the board paired on the turn, but Nik rivered the flush. I flopped top 2 pair but Nik rivered trip 2's. I flopped a set, and again, Nik rivered a flush. At the end of the first level I was down to 1300 chips.
The pivotal hand of the match (for me at least) was mid-way through the second level. Nik raised to pre-flop and I called with KJo. The flop came down J-high, and I checked intending to check-raise. Unfortunately, he checked behind, and the turn was an A. My read pre-flop was that he had an A, so while I was prepared to get all my chips in on the flop, or even on a non-A turn, I had to let it go when Nik raised. Nik showed AJ for 2-pair, and I'm happy it was an A. Any other card and I'm out.
Shortly after that, things turned around for me. Still in the second level and with only 875, I raised with 88, and Nik re-raised me all-in. I called and he showed AJo. He flopped the A, but I rivered the set, and I was starting to come-back.
I was able to gain the chip-lead in the third level, and then we battled back and forth for a couple levels. Midway through the 5th level I took the chip lead, and slowly built up my lead. When we finally entered the 7th level (200/400) Nik was down to 1500 chips, and 4 minutes in, we got all the chips in with my Q9s against his Q6o. Flop brought a 6 but the turn was my 9, and the river was a Q for both of us.
It was a great match, and I'm lucky that A turned in the second level, or I would never have recovered from my 13-1 deficit. Congratulations on a well-played game Nik. I look forward to playing with you again.

Come on Beanie, he's not a "Legend", he's a "Legend Killer". You see, Cole is attempting to emulate one of the biggest douches in WWE history, Randy Orton. Of all the people to try and emulate....
Now, while you won't catch me attempting to emulate someone who's drink of choice is a Corona with a lemon shoved in it... (*shudder*, that's fifteen kinds of wrong)... Cole is feel to idolize any douche he wishes and cop his gimmick. It's a free country.
