BPT Grand Final

Well we`re just about to get under way.

Table 1 feature ZowieZ, PearlSnapMan, astinaguy, freeroll26, cerberi, JayNYC, brodoughno, kufolem, imjusthere4thebeer and Irongirl.

Table 2 has Hacksaw2000, natsdad, DawgRoyal, iyatoni, Skinski, purechaos, OhioMike, ViezeMan, EgonOlsen and Evil666.

I`m going to concentrate on Table 2 for now because it`s where a lot of the guys I`d like to see win are seated. Unbiased reporting? Not a chance I want to see a friend of mine walk off with this win.

The first big hand goes to OhioMike.

-------------------------------------------------
natsdad Wins 9,470 from pot 1 with : Full House, Sevens over Threes

That hand could have a huge effect on the play. Having played natsdad on a few occassions I know how aggressive he can be and such a massive infusion of chips early on could be telling.

Table 1 by comparison in boxing terms is still at the jabbing stage, no real advantage has been gained.

Looks like I`m not the only one to have an interest in Table 2, 25 people are watching, and 21 are viewing Table 1

20:24 and they`re talking about the weather, apparently there has been snow in some parts of Victoria Australia. Guess people will always want to talk about the weather, no matter what they`re doing - Go figure.

20:30 Table 1 remains calm with Irongirl leading on 5745 chips

20:37 natsdad proves my earlier point

Nice bluff Alex :-)

Well a few technical difficulties there as my pc decides to have a go slow moment. However I`m back up and running now and hopefully nothing else of hat nature is going to happen,

I`ve come back at the break to discover the first casualty in not DawgRoyal as seemed likely but iyatoni. Judging by the pile of chips in front of OhioMike he got him. What happened? Who knows? Maybe the beer guy managed to spot it.

Speaking of the Dawg, at 21:05 ish he`s just made a nice comeback.

Pretty good for a guy who was down to 250 chips in the first few hands.

Ok the talk on Table 2 has turned to beer, Vieze appears to think Heineken is real beer - go figure. Purechaos appears to be a guiness man - good choice, Skinski who appears to be having very little luck with his cards is considering cracking open the JD and Evil keeps typing Upper Ten, which I presume is a type of Swedish beer?

Anyway I guess it`s back to the poker and it`s very good timing because we`ve just lost finalist number 3 OhioMike bites the dust in this one

At least he takes it well commenting on how he didn`t want another i-pod.

Things are going too fast to keep up now, kufolem joins Table 2 hereafter known as the Table of Death only to run into pocket queens and be eliminated

So that brings us down to half the starting field and the final table.

Looks like I missed a couple of exits in all the excitement. Astinaguy is cleaned out by JayNYC`s set of fives and ZowieZ jumps into a commanding chip lead taking out natsdad in this one.

Viezeman, who was incredibly shortstacked pushes his remaining 570 chips in but the board brings him no joy and he`s out in 8th place.

I leave for a few moments and she`s at it again, ZowieZ claims another victim

But it`s not all bad news for the beer guy as immediately after his exit admin announces he will be going to Aussie to do the blog commentary. No surprise there, WTG Mike, thoroughly deserved.

No commentary really now because I`m in a game myself, I`ll try and keep up to date though.
