Our monthly poker league kicked off its 16th season with a bang, and this one feels different already! We said a bittersweet goodbye to three of our regulars: TJ, Harry, and Scott, who all retired from the table. But their chairs didn’t stay empty long. This season, we welcomed three new first-timers who have already made their mark: Tina "The Cash Queen," Brian "Somehow Samero's Friend," and Pierre "The Diceman."
As usual, subs had to step in for a few players. Ray C, Roger, and Matt L couldn't make it, but their replacements came to play. Sabol, subbing for Roger, stole the spotlight early with an incredible hand of quad 8's, setting the high-hand standard for the season from the jump. And just when we thought nothing could top that, Tim Murphy, who subbed for Matt at the last minute, managed to secure first place for the night after taking out Butter.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing though. Foster, making sure to get his kids in bed early, was the first one out, meanwhile, Jeff Barton had a much deeper run than we’re used to seeing from him. Could this be the start of a new, more serious Jeff? Only time will tell.
Then there’s Mikey Mush. In classic form, he sucked out on a few hands, pulling miracle rivers left and right, and still managed to win the lottery draw for the night. Mush gonna mush.
Keane handed over the league bracelet to last season's champ, Shinn, who made a brief appearance at the table before an early exit. It’s not the way you want to start as defending champ, but it’s only the beginning of what promises to be another wild season.
Our next game is set for Monday, October 14th at 7:15 PM, and it’s one of the most anticipated nights of the year—our annual Halloween game! Don’t forget to come in costume for a chance to earn an extra 5,000 chips.
