July tournament update

I re posted the photo of the winner for the July game, as the photos got deleted by accident as Steve wasn't sure the photo was appropriate for all to see. The photo was modified so it shouldn't be so offensive.
Feel free to leave your comments if you feel I may have erred in my account as to how things happen or you have a different take. It might be fun to hear some other prospectives, or E-mail myself or Steve if you have a posting you would like to make, and we will see if we can post it.
See you all on the 17th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mikey H Takes Home The Plaster

The October game is done and congratulations go out to Mike Hallengren. After takeing a couple months off, he comes back and kicks butt. We had 15 players, I believe the most ever. Brought my camera and left it on the table and noticed nobody took any pictures (including me) so I have no pictures to prove he won. My favorite player took over the points lead, "ME" from Mike Williams who finally cooled off a little by being the third one out.
Mike Williams brought a couple of new players to the game Jerry, & Darrin. Jerry's not invited back seeing as he took down 2nd place. (I feel it's not right for a new player to finish in the money). 6 players have now qualified for the end of the year tournament by makeing it to all 6 games so far. All these players are in the top 5 for the points lead. Wait a minute, 6 players in the top 5????? somethings wrong here! (6people - 5spots = 1)? Oh, I forgot one of the 6 is Mike Mann (sorry bro couldn't resist)
See you all next month.

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.
1st MIKE WILLIAMS 12 PTS. $260
2nd RANDY MANN 11 PTS. $130
3rd TIM PATTERSON 10PTS. $60
4th LAN CLARK 9 PTS. $30
5th STEVE COLLINS 8PTS.
6th FLETCH 7PTS.
7th JEFF 6 PTS.
8th JAY HANSEN 5PTS.
9th KIRK HEINZ 4PTS.
10th MIKE MANN

WILLIAMS CAPTURES POINTS LEAD

August is in the books and we have new 1st time points leader. Mike Williams (shown above, very happy after his 3rd place finish) moved into the pt. lead (28 pts.) by 1 pt. over Dale. Dale had a impressive showing by going out on the 3rd hand of the night. He stuck around all night to play a 2nd game only to go out first in that game also.

Congratulations to Tim on getting first place. He started the night out by pulling two flushes out of the river and just continued through the night. Although he played a good game, he has to get the river rat award for the night as just about everyone said (myself included) he ratted them on the river through the night. Kirk got 2nd, (following up a 3rd at the car salesmen night the week before) I believe his highest finish ever. Mike Williams took 3rd, making the third time in 4 months that he finished in the top 4 to pass Dale up in the pts total.

We had 3 first time players this month Lan Clark and his friend Jeff Gillis, Lan Works with Me and Mike. Dale brought his friend Tony, he played 1 of the early games with us last year. We need to consider what we are going to do for new players, being that we seem to be having a problem getting consistant attendance from the 13 from last year.

THE NEXT GAME IS SAT. SEPT. 15 AT FLETCHES POKER PALACE PUT THIS DATE ON YOUR CALENDER AND TRY AND MAKE IT SO WE CAN GET THE POT BUILDING.

An Asshole Wins !!!

Congratulations to Steve Collins (AKA asshole) on winning his first tournament of the EPL. This is Steve's first win since we started last year. He was always around the money last year, but just couldn't finish the job. (I know that could be considered a personal problem). Fletch brought down the 2nd place money after getting heads up with Steve. The heads up match was pretty uneventful as Steve busted Dale to get to heads up and had a very comanding chip lead. Fletch doubled up twice, but even then had to keep pretty much going all in as the blinds were quite high by then. Dale once again finished in the money and is walking away with the points total so far.Place Name Pts.

The Return of WETMORE

Well June is in the books, and we see Dale step back up as a winner. Only had 12 players, we need to get all players out so we can start getting the pot to build. I can't really recap how the final hands went, as Tim (for his final victory last year) and I both brought a bottle. I decided to try and get my fair share and didn't pay too much attention down the stretch.
Welcome Steve Schmidt to the game. He played in his first game and made the money in third place. Tim got first, oh wait a minute I meant to say Tim went out first. I think a saw a few smiles around the room at that time.(that could have been my imagination though) Mike Williams (we have too many Mikes) and Dale got heads up, with Dale slapping Mike around to finally break him. Still haven't seen Kim. Although she missed a couple last year and still won the pts. lead. Steve just got back from Reno after being gone a couple of weeks and wanted to get home to see Momma, we kept him there as long as we could, but as you can see that wasn't too long.
If anyone has other comments or remembers things happening just a little different from the way I've portrayed it feel free to send me or Steve a note so we can get it posted.
NEXT TOURNEY IS JULY 13TH we moved it up a week as people were going to be gone the next two weekends. LET'S ALL TRY AND MAKE IT.

A NEW YEAR

Well here we go with another year of this boreing game we call HOLD-EM. The first monthly tournament was held May 18th with one of my favorite players (ME) taking down the 2006/2007 Champion, Tim (for those of you who have forgotten, look at his wrist!). It came down to the final 3, Tim, Randy Mann, and Dale for the Money. Dale got all-in with poket J's and just got stomped down to size by Randy's ?(hell I can't remember but I kicked his butt). I'ld like to say it was a great Heads up duel that lasted for hours, but I think it was about 15- 20min pretty uneventful thing. The final hand ended with Randy holding a dominating 10/3 offsuit over Tim's 8/3. With Randy coming out on top (why do I always have to have the top)? We all missed Rick, (I think) who missed his first game ever. Steve and Fletch were once again gracious host by being the first 2 out. It didn't seem to bother them much as the were heading straight from the game, to the Airport, to go to Mazatlan. I will post the results and try to remember to bring my camera next month so I can get pictures of the monthly winners.
The next one is JUNE 22nd at Fletches Poker Palace. Lets all try and make it so we can get the pot building.
