A New Challenge... blinds double every 30 minutes. Justin and Drew take first and second place respectively. Lots of Big Hands all night. A good time was had by all.
"It started off shakey for me tonight but I felt good going into the end game after the buy-in deadline. The right cards at the right time. I think that made the difference for me." - Justin.
It was a real mixed bag tonight. We had Trip Queens, 10's, 7's, 5's, and even Trip 6's. 8's were crazy all evening. Hand of the night: Flush beats a Straight... A classic showdown.
