Ugly Sweaters, Big Hands, and a Night to Remember
Annual Christmas Ugly Sweater Poker Game Recap
Our annual Christmas Ugly Sweater Poker Night once again delivered everything we’ve come to expect from this tradition: questionable fashion choices, big hands, and plenty of league action.Everyone showed up dressed in their absolute worst holiday attire — the uglier, the better — setting the perfect festive (and slightly embarrassing) tone for the night.
Subs & a Monster Hand
Matt Lopresti, who had been subbed out for a few months, made a return appearance. Not only did Matt show up, he made it count, smashing the high hand of the night with quad 9s, ace kicker. Vinny subbed in for Ray C and made the most of his opportunity, putting together a deep run and finishing third place on the night. Vinny thanks for the lottery ticket gift! Another strong showing from a sub that definitely shook up the points conversation.
The lottery winner for the night was Brian Horn, adding a little extra holiday cheer to an already fun evening.
Foster Takes Control of the League
When the cards finally settled, it was Foster standing tall. He battled Samero heads-up and secured his second nightly win of the season, a victory that now gives him a commanding lead in league points. With only so many games left, the rest of the league now has a clear target on Foster’s back.

Remembering Pierre Avedissian
The night also carried a somber note. Former league member Pierre Avedissian has passed away. Pierre will always be remembered for his incredible sense of humor and the unforgettable stories he shared from growing up in Occupied France to moments at the poker table.
Pierre also still holds the league record for most wins in a single season with three, a mark that remains untouched to this day. He will always be part of this league’s history and will be deeply missed by everyone who had the pleasure of playing alongside him.
NEXT GAME: MONDAY JAN 19 - 715PM - Hoagies House
