July 6, 2011 - Halter Tops at the WSOD

First of all, I apologize for the time it took to get this post up.  I went on holidays the morning after the game and only now have had the time / ability to get you up to speed on our last poker night.

We started off with the latest event of this year's World Series of Dip - Event #3 - Pot Limit Omaha.  Below are some pictures from the action.

Possibly the dullest poker picture ever.  Can you figure out which 2 people are awake?

It's as though we are trying to figure out who actually won the hand.

Ryan, Pssst Ryan!  Get it over with, you are about to carve up the cash game to make way more than you could in this tournament.

The final two left standing, um, make that sitting.   Kramp puts on a bray-ve face.

So Lemon, who fancies himself a bit of an Omaha player (and who we fancy as a bit of a ridonkulous gambler) missed his favourite tournament to ride in little cars.  That left 7th place wide open for the taking -HAHAHAHAHA....whew!

The tournament has a structure that allowed for a lot of play, but then again this is Omaha and people love to get their chips in the middle.  By the time we got down to the final 4, Harvey, Brain Kramp and I all were in decent shape and Kailey was on life support.  Harvey was the first to go, sending his chips to Brain Kramp and placing Kailey in the money, yet again.  When Brain Kramp and I got heads up we didn't make things easy on ourselves, the play went for 2 hours heads up with each of us outplaying the other for an hour.  In the end, Kramp won his first WSOD bracelet, congratulations.  You can see the official winner's picture here.  Here is a picture of the bracelet he was awarded;

Kramp and his new WSOD halter top.

The cash game was fast and furious.  I didn't play due to how late the tournament ran.  Kegel Kramp did and his great night kept on going.  The other big winners at the table was Dycker and Harvey.  Harvey cracked K-Diddy's Aces with low suited connectors and I sure he is still perma-grinning over that monster pot.

The jackpot was won once again.  Follow this link to find out who won and how much they took down.  I will tell you that for the second straight time, the winning hand was 2 red Aces.

Finally, In honour of the fact that Kramp's first bracelet is in Omaha, I'm giving you all a bonus link to a little company in Omaha, Texas.

Enjoy! - Irony at it's finest
