POKER NIGHT V RESULTS

As the snow fell throughout a cold December evening The Toaster heated up the competition at Poker Night V...

Fourteen guys turned out this past Saturday for the Summit City Poker Club - Poker Night V. With current POY leader, "Handsome" Rob A. unable to attend, several rounders had their sights on making their way to the top of the leader board.

Shaun "The Blender" D. doubled up early by taking out Jeremy "The Visor" H. thus awarding him the dubious honor of joining the "First One Out" Club at his very first Poker Night.

Derek "The Toaster" B. & Mike "The Mouth" B. went toe-to-toe as well in the early rounds with "The Mouth" leaving "The Toaster" on life-support heading into the final table as the short stack with only 1025 in chips.

"The Blender", playing strong and atoning for his early exit in the last tournament, made short work of both Mike "Dead Money?" E. and "The Mouth" amassing a huge chip stack early on at the final table. But "The Toaster", with pocket Jacks, was able to double up at the expense of "The Blender's" pocket 8's to give himself a little breathing room.

Newcomer Jeff C., who came down from Lansing Michigan, made a good showing and finished in 6th position. Jordan H. in only his second tournament finished in 5th position.

"Short Haul" also found himself on a short stack early on at the final table but made an impressive comeback building a sizeable chip stack as he tried to position himself to be the first repeat champ. But those hopes were burnt up by "The Toaster".

With the blinds at 150/300 and staring at pocket 9's on the button "The Toaster" raised another 600 pre-flop and "Short Haul" made the call. The flop came up (7-Q-Q) and "The Toaster" bet 1000. "Short Haul" made the call. The turn card was another 9 giving "The Toaster", who bet another 1000, a Full House. "Short Haul" re-raised "The Toaster" all-in and "The Toaster" made the call. "Short Haul" was drawing dead on the river with a suited A-J.

"The Blender" then finished off Nathan "The Dealer" T. & "Short Haul" for a heads up match against his long time friend "The Toaster". After more than two hours of back and forth heads up action "The Blender" found himself on the short stack and moved all in pre-flop with A-Q off. "The Toaster" called with a suited Q-7, caught a 7 on the flop and avoided an Ace on the turn and the river to claim his second Summit City Poker Night Championship and climb atop the POY leader board.
