Season 10 - Week 5

BPC Season 10 - Week 5
----------------------

Week 5, the final week in the first mini-season, and just about everyone is in contention for the bonus 250,000 chips that are on the line.  Thanks to Mike, the 40's are flowing and I'm immediately out of contention.  So worth it though... mmmmm, 40's. 

Eric was the actual first one out though and within the first few hands played it seems, definitely before his seat was even warm (barring any Taco Mesa induced flatulence of course.)  Not sure what the hand was but from the foul language and intense frustration it induced, I think the whole room knew Judy was involved.

I didn't capture any hands of significant hands of any sort, I was too busy dealing hands, nursing my Mickey's, and laying down monster hands after letting people river out on me, but I hear that there was a straight flush somewhere along the way.  That's always exciting.

And I hear that Padma was on a bit of a run at the final table.  In one hand Sungina raises in late position, getting Padma and another caller.  Flop comes K-J-rag rainbow, and Sunj bets out.  Padma raises and Sunj shoves all in with K-J for top two.  No good against Padma's flopped set of Jacks, and Sungina gives up about 25,000 and is crippled down to 2,000 with 7 players left and blinds at 4-8.  The determined little traveler was able to claw her way back up the proverbial chip mountain and claim 2nd place though, so don't feel too bad for her.  Impressive.

In another hand, Kurt raises pre-flop and gets a smooth call from Padma.  Flop comes 6-7-2 and Kurt moves all-in with 7-8 for top pair.  Padma calls with A-2 (must have been a pocket change call for her) and an Ace hits on the turn.

The results are below.  Padma holds on to her chip lead and takes down first, Sungina pulls out from the gutter for 2nd, Kikoo playing for team SoupOrSalad takes down the bronze, and Kelly takes down 4th.  And Nicole sneaks in for the 5th spot, and the 3 modest points are enough to give her the overall win for the first 5-week mini-season.  For her efforts she will help herself to 250,000 bonus chips at whatever final table she ends up at.  Nicely done!
