NYRPS Event #12 Results

Sorry for the lack of pimpage for the event last night: I left my house to go to work at 8:30 AM, and didn't get home until 9:10 PM after work, running to a customer after work, dinner and bowling. I was able to make a header for a blogpost via my iPod Touch, but couldn't put text in.

Oh well. 16 people still signed up for the event, which was Heads Up PLO Shootout, including 4 new players; Bloggers DDionysus (Pokah Dave) and InstantTragedy, along with 2 unknowns, Kazor and Rusty Wilson.

With 16 people for a Heads-Up tournament, there were no byes, and thus no complaints.

My opening match was against PinkyStinky, and we each played VERY tight (lots of limping and checking). He slowly built a 4000 to 2000 lead, which I responded to by turning up the aggression, and thus taking a 4000 to 2000 lead of my own. However, he responded by turning up even more aggression, and took a 3K pot down, and I could never recover.

PinkyStinky joined hoyazo, bloodslut, twoblackaces, heffmike, kazor, Rusty Wilson and Defending NYRPS Champ ChampSampson in the second round.

The winners of the Second Round found the Money, and they were bloodslut, hoyazo, kazor and ChampSampson.

Bloodslut and kazor went to the heads up match which lasted under 20 minutes. kazor took the final hand, the $72 first place prize and a seat at the TOC. bloodslut took his third cash (and first since Event #2) of the series to move into 3rd place on the overall standings.

The Top 10 in Points:

TheSlinger	234.16
iaatg6296	210.5
bloodslut	150.9
NYRambler	140
Oaklandish	128
ferrisbuellr	125
PirateLawyer	109.6
chitwood	103.5
twoblackaces	96
ChampSampson	89

Next Week, for NYRPS Event #13, is Limit Hold 'em. To ensure that you're not bored out of your mind for the first half hour, there is no Double Stack. 1500 Starting Chips.

Well, I made a Flush, but that didn't really change anything for my hand... But now he has 3 queens showing, and based on how he's played the hand he might have Quads. Alas, he could still have Ax of spades in the hole (which is another hand to raise with on 3rd)

xCHAM0Sx bets $2
NYRambler calls $2
