THE PLAYER IN SEAT 4..

February 17th was the 3rd annual Championship Tournament at our local home game! The top 10 scoring players throughout the year are invited to play in the event! So even making it to the Championship should be considered a victory in itself. The pot is accumulated throughout out the year from the monthly tournaments so this year’s prize was Awesome and there’s also the coveted Championship Bracelet. The tournament host Mel and the club owners Scott and Leslie do an incredible job managing this throughout the year! Thank you to all of them for hosting such a great series of tournaments!

The tournament brings out the best gamesmanship, the best bluffs and steals, the best play and of course the best banter! This year was no exception as there was definitely so wild moves, and wilder calls!

This year on top of the prize pool each player added an additional buy in and every player put up a 5 buck bounty on themselves, making the action even more aggressive!

The final 5 Lem, Scotty “doesn’t know “ Greg ( by all accounts is one of the most improved) myself, and the chip bully ( sorry chip leader) “5 buck Chuck” ( new nickname cuz he was collecting bounties)

Final 2 heads up myself and Chick decided to chop, could’ve played a bit longer but honestly Chuck’s play deserved to win, consistent, aggressive play I enjoyed being a part of it! Great Job Chuck now everyone can go after you for the rest of the year!!!

I’ve managed to be selected for all 3 Championships so far however have only been able to get to 2nd in 2 of the 3. For me I enjoy the game, I enjoy the people, but hopefully next year I can win the freaking bracelet!
