Season 10 - Week 17

BPC Season 10 - Week 17
-----------------------

There were some crazy hands last night, we had a straight flush on Table 2, and Table 3 had a couple of sick ones in a row, like a boat against another boat against a straight flush draw.  But I didn't write any of them down, things at work have been a little too busy to keep up with my night job as the BPC chronicler.  Even though I like that job much better, the day job still pays just a little bit more.

The one hand I do remember vividly of course was the hand I went out on.  I had been stealing some pots with rags and feeling pretty saucy about myself.  The board come 8-7-8, and Ruby and I get into yet another arms race, with me betting out big, and her calling.  A few hands earlier I had done the same thing and pushed all in on the river because I know she wiffed, and she folded.  This time I had big lick 6-9, giving me the outside straight draw, so I push all in again on the semi bluff.  She thinks for a bit and comes to the conclusion that she's sick of this and I'm full of crap and calls me with a 7.  Damn, good call. I'm down to 11 outs but heck that's almost 60-40.  Nonetheless nothing comes for me and I'm snapped rudely to the rail.

And it looks like she put those chips to good use as she is this week's winner!  Good job Ruby.  The 15 points pushes her up to within striking distance of the Top 9, this after missing 6 weeks of the season (almost a third.)

Arjan posts his second pointing of the season and takes 2nd place, and Eric takes down 3rd.  The 9 points for 3rd boost The Milkman up for a tie for 6th.  Earl takes down 4th and Jeena takes the scrappy 5th for the fifth time this season.  The 3 points are just enough to keep her in the Top 9 and bump Hee Hall back out after a very brief stay.

Tuan was the bubble boy for the week.
