BPC Poker: Season 12

BPC Season 12 - Week 2
----------------------

26 players played last night, making it the largest field in quite a while. Also one of the noisiest. Can someone please give some headphones out during this year's gift exchange please? Go ahead and put "Kumo" on it and we can skip all the picking and stealing pleasantries of the White Elephant exchange.

Mortimer was back in town, and stacking chips nicely. He took a big pot down from Hee Hall on a Q-Q-J board. Hall called the final big bet on the river with A-Q into a monster pot, and Morty shows pkt J's for the flopped boat. Remo took most of it a bit later though, when the flop comes A-8-8. Remo and Morty exchange bets until Morty goes all in on the inconsequential river, showing A-K for top two. Remo shows A-8, slow playing the flopped boat to perfection, and reducing Morty down to just a few blinds.

Meanwhile on Table 1, Chester keeps taking down pots and flashing pkt Aces. BPC freshman rookie Papa Kumo moves over to Table 1 a bit later, and gets, you guessed it, pkt Aces. But runs into Jagu's 6-8 so you know he's drawing dead. Sure enough, Jagu flops a straight, and Papa Kumo is sent to donate at the cash table. (And it wouldn't be the only time Jagu cracked Aces this night.)

In one of the sicker hands of the night, Eric goes all in with A-7 and knows he's drawing real thin when Chess calls with 2-3. Sure enough, deuce come in the window, then 6-3 completes the flop for two pair. A 4 on the turn gives Eric some outs with a 5 for a straight. But a 3 on the river gives Chess the boat and Eric a trip to the rail.

The results are below, and the rest of the write up comes from this week's cub reporter, Jaclyn:

Kurt was killing it at the final table, taking out one person after another. The hand that took Mike out on the bubble: Kurt had pocket 9s, Mike had AK. Kurt hit a 9 on the flop and turned quads. I'm pretty sure Kurt took everyone out except Charlie and me who were knocked out by my dad.

Kurt and Jagu heads up: Kurt would've ended it if his pocket aces had held up against my dad's pocket Js, but Jagu hit a J on the river! Turning the tide and taking the win.
Well played by all!

Congrats Jagu and the rest of the point winners, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to everyone!!!
