Welcome back to the spookiest poker blog of the season—our Annual Halloween Poker Game! Season 16, Game 2 was full of tricks, treats, and plenty of chips, as players battled it out for the top spot at the table, all while donning their best costumes. The catch? Everyone had to show up in costume to earn an extra chip bonus at the start of play.
But the real story of the night was a devious plot organized by Samero. He rallied a majority of the crew to come dressed as clowns—all in a not-so-subtle effort to get inside Keane’s head. Why clowns? Keane hates them. The star of the clown show was easily "The Terrifier" costume, which was a fan favorite and borderline nightmare fuel.
Costume Highlights of the Night:
- Keane showed up as Donald Trump, though his costume couldn’t keep the clowns at bay. Despite the extra chip bonus, his night ended on a mediocre note.
- Ray Mendoza went all out as poker legend Scotty Nguyen, complete with sunglasses and all. Sadly, his play didn’t match the legend’s, and he busted out early.
- Jacob - His Holiness
- Roger - Eazy E
Newcomer Pierre "The Diceman", outlasted everyone at the table, claiming his first victory in our league.
We also had a special birthday celebration for Rick, who celebrated by winning the lottery pull for the night. He scratched off a ticket right after busting out and scored a cool $100. Not too shabby for a birthday bonus!
One major twist for the night? This was the first time in a long time that we didn't have any subs. The usual suspects were all in attendance, ready to battle it out for the win.
As always, the food was to die for—our Halloween Menu featured:
- Kill-basa (Kielbasa)
- Phantom Potatoes (Roasted Potatoes)
- Gruesome Greens (Salad)
- And, of course, plenty of Sinister Snacks to keep everyone fueled throughout the night.
Stay tuned for next month’s standard tournament on 11/11 at 7:15 PM.
