🏆 New Champion Crowned – Season 17 Wrap-Up

Season 17 of the league is officially in the books, and we’ve got a new king of the felt. Foster put together a dominant run across the entire season, finishing with a triumphant points total that secured him the championship title. Consistency was the name of the game, and Foster delivered week in and week out when it mattered most.

As the season closes, the focus now shifts to a massive summer ahead. League players are gearing up to hit Las Vegas for the WSOP, along with several major local events. This group has been grinding all season, and now they’ll be representing the league on bigger stages with real stakes and even bigger opportunities.

🎯 Final Night Recap

The last game of the season didn’t disappoint. Keane made a statement, showing up when it counted most and taking down the final game of the series, earning the $500 bonus in the process. To cap off a heater of a night, he also snagged the lottery bonus, making it one of the most profitable finishes of the season.

🎟️ What’s Next

In total, 12 players have locked up tournament packages, giving them shots to compete in upcoming events throughout the year. From Vegas to local circuits, this league will have a strong presence across the poker scene.

We’ll be tracking results, deep runs, and final tables as the year unfolds — so stay tuned for updates on who’s playing where and how they perform.

The grind never stops… it just gets bigger from here. ♠️🔥

Season 15 game 2, A Spooktacular Showdown: The First Annual Halloween Costume Poker Game

 Season 15 game 2, A Spooktacular Showdown: The First Annual Halloween Costume Poker Game

The cards were dealt, the bets were placed, and the chips were stacked high in anticipation of the spookiest night of the year – the first annual Halloween Costume Poker Game in our poker league. The combination of poker, costumes, and a dash of friendly rivalry made this event one for the books.

The creativity of our league members was truly unmatched, but several fan favorites stole the show. First up was "Asian Jim" from the Office, a nod to one of the show's classic pranks. Wolverine, complete with adamantium claws, exuded an aura of intensity and fearlessness that translated into his poker game. Disco Joe danced his way into a final table. The bald, lollipop-sucking Kojak, alongside Elvis and Joe Dirt, brought the spirit of the '70s and '80s and 90's back to life. "Mr. Hotdog" turned heads with his outfit.

Of course, we can't forget the hilarious imitation costumes of Scott and Hoagie. The attention to detail in these costumes was uncanny, making it clear that our poker league members took their Halloween poker night seriously.

To reward those who went above and beyond with their costumes, we offered a 5,000 chip bonus to all players who embraced the Halloween spirit. Unfortunately, not everyone came prepared for the costume contest. Players Harry and Butter made the mistake of not dressing up and found themselves on the receiving end of some early hits. It's safe to say that they'll be sporting creative costumes next year to redeem themselves.

As the night progressed, it all came down to a massive showdown between Keane and Samero. After a short battle Keane emerged victorious, securing not only the Halloween Costume Poker Game title but also the first place in our league.

With Keane leading the way, we're now looking forward to our next event – the Mystery Bounty tournament on November 13th.

Season 15 Kick-off: Monday Night Poker League

 

Ladies and gentlemen, poker enthusiasts and aficionados, it's that time of the year again! The Monday Night Poker League has returned for its fifteenth season, and if the first night is any indication, we're in for a wild ride. With 18 players vying for the coveted Vegas spots, its time to get at it.

To kick things off, we welcomed two new faces to the Monday Night Poker League family - Harry and Ray C. Both rookies managed to navigate the shark-infested waters and find themselves at the final table on their very first night. Ray C, in particular, was on fire, hitting every all in imaginable and clinching the lottery ticket bonus for the evening. Beginner's luck?

But let's not forget our veteran player, Jeff Barton. For the first time in a few seasonshe didn't claim the title of "First Player Out." We had no idea that he was once the voice behind Tony the Tiger in a Frosted Flakes commercial! True story, folks. Maybe he's been spending too much time perfecting his "They're grrreat!" instead of his poker skills.

Scott, on the other hand, had a rollercoaster of a night. He showed up on time, built a towering stack, only to lose it all in a series of six consecutive all-ins. It's a classic case of "up, up, and away" followed by "down, down, and out."

Now, let's talk about the early casualties of the night – Mikey Mush, Pete L, and Samero. Fellas, we've got two words for you: "Get Better."

As the evening progressed, the two tables of players started to develop distinct personalities. At one table, you had the "Conspiracy Table," led by Foster and Scott, where discussions about aliens, UFOs, and COVID vaxxers reigned supreme. Over at table two, it was all about fantasy football, led by Keane and Ray.

Tj had a substitution for the night – his father. And surprise, surprise, Dad had the run of his life and finished in second place! Is this the secret to Tj's success? Should he call on his dad more often to secure victory? We'll see if this father-son duo keeps the momentum going.

The highlight of the evening was the showdown between Hoagie and Rick when only three players remained. Rick raised preflop, Cicali called. On a JJ8 board, Cicali checked, Rick bet on the flop, and Hoagie responded with a check raise, going all in. Rick pondered his options for what felt like an eternity before making the call with pocket sevens. His hand was ahead and it was a good call. But poker can be a fickle mistress, and a 9 on the turn gave Hoagie a pair, sealing the deal. Sometimes, you make the wrong move at the right time....

With the first night of Season 15 in the books, we can't wait to see what October 16 brings – the Halloween game! Get your costumes ready because every player who shows up in costume will receive a bonus 5,000 chips to start with. It's going to be a spooky, thrilling night of poker.

S 14 game 8: Deepstack night

 

Deepstack night was upon us. Some things remained the same as it was no surprise that Larry was a no-show, but thankfully, Frank E. was able to fill in for him at the last minute.

Jeff Barton came out of the gates on fire, building a massive chip lead and striking fear into the hearts of his opponents. But as we all know, poker can be a cruel mistress, and just when you think you have it all figured out, the cards can turn on you.

And turn they did for Jeff. In a stunning turn of events, he imploded and gave his entire stack to Samero. Samero must have felt like he had hit the jackpot, not only for getting such a huge boost in chips but also for receiving a $59 bounty for taking Jeff out, courtesy of Roger. But Samero's good fortune was not to last. he got it in three ways and got sunk with AK.

Rick was salty for not winning a million dollars on Resorts House Money, but still narrowly holds the lead over Brian and Anthony going into the final month.

Jacob used his magic to start the night in 9th and somehow made the final table and went down to 10th. get Better!

 Mark Butter finally woke up this season and showed us all hes trying to get back to Vegas this year. He played a solid game, taking out Matty Meatballs Neamand along the way and ultimately taking down first place.

And with that, we move on to the final game of the season, which will be played on Sunday, May 7, at 1 pm. Who will take home the grand prize? Will Mark Butter continue his winning streak,  wil Rick hold on or will someone else rise to the top? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – it's going to be one hell of a game!

NEXT GAME SUNDAY MAY 1PM - Must Be paid up
