position after a JC raise in front of him.  Jeremiah, Jagu and Kumo fold back to JC, who tanks for a bit.


"You have Aces?"  - Chess

JC calls and shows... Aces.  Chess shows pkt 7's and is ecstatic about it.  Why?

"This is the best hand to kill Aces with!  I think statistically I'm ahead."  - Chess 

Flop comes A-8-8 (boat for JC.)

"Well not anymore."  - Chess, on his way to the rail.

Welcome to the kickoff of the 21st season of the BPC, it was great to see all the regulars, some new faces, and some blasts from the past.

Like our very own "monkey with a shotgun" Julius.  He hasn't been around in a while, but certainly has not forgotten his style of firing first and asking questions later.  I don't know who he took them from but when we consolidated to the final table Julius had a mountain of chips.  I think he had some place to be (like a Madden '15 game scheduled with Gage or something) because he went into full all-in mode in just about every hand.  That's always a scary sight but fortunately I was lucky enough to end up on the right side of enough of them to take down first place.

Similarly, Jagu survived the onslaught to take down second place.  (He and I played in probably the longest heads up match I've ever participated in at the BPC, which I usually have no time or patience for, but it was quite fun.  Same time next week Jagu?)

Julius took 3rd, a great showing after not playing for quite a few seasons.  Hopefully he'll play the full season again (but mostly at someone else's table.)

JC took 4th and is the first to draw blood in the JC-Chess bet.  (Did that bet ever get finalized?  If not it should.)

And Derek is back this season as well after a long hiatus, and finishes in the scrappy 5th spot.

Jeremiah was the Bubble Boy, something that he finished with more than once last season, and enough to keep him out of the Final Table.  I doubt that will happen in back to back seasons.
