WILLIAMS EXTENDS HIS POINTS LEAD





The September tourny has played and we have another first time winner. Congratulations to Mike Williams whom wins with a 2 outer on the river to claim his first win and to take home the coveted EATONVILLE POKER CLUB TROPHEY while extending his points lead over the rest of us.
We started the night with 2 first time players Jay Hansen, the pharmacist who manages Kirks Sunrise Store, and Jeff Rikitikitambonosawrambo (i just made that last name up as I don't know his last name) a friend of Lan's who played for the first time last month. 12 players started the night, only 8 were EPC members (we need to start seeing a better turn out of the current members). Dale went out on a couple of tough hands where he had sets beaten both times. Bob Homan was the next out. We combined tables and went for ever before we lost any one else. Mike and Lan were trying to outlast each other with $150 each, some kind of side bet or pride thing. Lan won that one. We still had 8 players when the blinds got to $600 and $1200, than we started losing players fairly quick due to the size of the blinds. Steve was so excited about picking up pocket 10's he decided to show every one after I called his pre flop raise with pocket 8's. Flop came 8,5,2 I went all in, he called thinking I was trying to steal. This generated the Loser Photo of Steve. Mike Williams and I got heads up to have Mike pull a Full House with a 4 on the river to bust my set of 5's to send me crying for the rest of the night. Tim cashed, makeing Tim, Dale, and Mike W. all with 3 cashes this year.
The level of play from everyone was really good. As I entered the stats for the month and realized Jeff, Jay, Kirk, & Mike M. were all down at 7 - 10 it surprised me as they all were playing very well. This makes for a more enjoyable night when the level of play is good.
Let's all try and make it on the 20th especially those of you who have not been making it so we can get the pot building. The pot is currently @ $530 with 5 down and 6 to go. You must make 6 of the 11 to qualify for the Finale.
