| Week 18 Winner... Jeremiah! |
Kings's hold up.
Ah, THAT'S how you play K's. You make it look so simple.
[8:09] Just a few hands later, Charlie raises a bunch and Allan U snap calls for all his chips and it's groundhog day all over again... this time it's Allan that shows A-K suited, and Charlie that shows pkt K's.
Kings hold up again.
Well heck, it looks like just about everyone can play pkt K's correctly. (Just about everyone, but I'm taking good notes.)
[9:05] Potts: "Can I rebuy?"
Eric: "Yeah, next week."
Potts: "Nah, I'll let Chess do that for me."
Garage: "Ooooh, burn."
Eric: "Potts, you need to buy in at least once this season."
Potts: "Yeah, Week 1."
Dang, two funnies in a row for Potts, who is both emotionally and financially enjoying a (so far) down showing for Chester in this, the 20th season of the BPC. Well played Potts. Chester's money makes you funny. (Put a beat to that... "Chester's money will make you funny.... Chester's money will make you funny!" Boom, cha, boom-boom-boom-cha.) Feel it.
[9:50] First hand of the final table and Jeena shoves from middle position. The table folds all the way around to Padma in the Big Blind. Padma takes just a few moments to think, then ends up calling for her stack, about 10,000. Padma shows A-K and Jeena shows, you guessed it... wrong. Not the pkt K's that would have put some eloquent symmetry to this otherwise lame write-up, but instead simply A-J. Good call by Padma, ahead by more than 70-30.
But Jeena channels her inner Bagu, summoning the "Jack! Jack!! Jack!!!"
Flop comes... Jack in the window!
Nothing else shows and Padma is first to exit the final table.
Jeena leveraged those chips to a scrappy 5th place finish, and Judy went out just before her in the Bubble spot.
Eric The Milkman had a TON of chips for most of the final table, but I don't have anything in my notes on what he did with them, other than to finish in 4th. He makes a nice jump up 3 spots from 7th to 4th, and passes by Jeena, Charlie and Amir.
Allen Y secured the first money spot with 3rd, which left me Jeremiah heads up. And which also reminds me of where Eric's and probably most of everyone else's chips must have went because Jeremiah had some Tolkien-esque sized castles in front of him and it didn't take too long for him to finish me off.
It's a much needed win for Jeremiah, who uncharacteristically went the first 10 weeks without a single pointing (he missed two of those weeks) and found himself all the way down in 20th place. In the 8 weeks since though, he has 3 pointings with 2 firsts and a 2nd, he now moves up from 12th (and 9 points out) to 10th (and just 2 points out.)
My 2nd place moves me back into the Top 9 for the first time in a while, while Jagu drops out and below both of us into 11th.
That was the only switch in the Top 9 membership.
