$60 Tournament Results
Hey, everybody!
It was a fabulous day for some poker. We had 20 entrants for our $60 tournament, and after all was said in done, newcomer Dennis Whalen took home first place! You may recognize the name if you have read this blog before, from his 2nd place finish in February at the VFW in Wahpeton.
The final table of 9 consisted of Rob Whalen, Roger Tangen, Corey Eslinger, Dennis Whalen, Jim Tallakson, Pat Anderson, Bjorn Heide, Jon Shilling, and Jason Kramer. First to go out was Pat Anderson as he went all-in with QQ and Roger Tangen called with AQ. With an A on the flop, Pat headed home (earlier he was all-in with KJ vs Kramer's AA and the turn and river brough a K and a J). Next to depart was Rob Whalen then Jim Tallakson was involved in a huge pot - about 30K or 30% of the chips with 7 left, when his J kicker fell short to Dennis's A quicker with top pair Q. Next out was Corey Eslinger when his AK failed to hit against Roger Tangen's TT. Jason Kramer was sent home by Roger Tangen as well in 5th when his TT was so close, yet so far behind Roger's JJ.
The big hand of the night came as Dennis raised UTG with AJ from 4,000 to 8,000. Bjorn folded, Jon called from the SB, and Roger went all-in for 30,000 total. Dennis called and Jon folded. Roger showed QQ and Dennis had AJ, but caught up in a hurry with an A on the flop. The pot worth 68,000 in chips, gave Dennis nearly 3/4 of the chips heading into 3 handed play. Not too long after Bjorn was gone followed by Jon giving Dennis the win.
Lucas Roach won the 5 person mini satellite for a seat at the Freeroll satellite in November. A side note to today's play is that there were 4 sets of quads dealt, 3 of them being quad A's and 1 being quad Q's.
The next tournament should be June 18th or 25th, same time same place for $40 this time.
