July Poker League 2009 - Game #4 Summary

The ten players squeezed into a tight area around the table in the Ed Daffy basement. .com brought his infamous playlist on an Ipod, while the Mets got slaughtered on a TV in the background. Many jokes were shared as usual, lines from movies were quoted. However, nobody thought to bring beer and several players resorted to drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade. Pretty quickly, though, the night belonged to Hoboken.

After a couple of levels of play, .com found himself shortstacked with A-10 suited and two of his suit came out on the flop. He pushed all-in against Hoboken, who made a gutsy call with an underpair to the board. .com caught neither an A, 10 nor a flush and went out uncharacteristically in 10th place. He did, however, stick around to play cash games after the tournament.

Not long after that, True found himself with 7-2 and tried to push all-in and buy the pot against Hoboken. He was called, however, and went out in 9th place. He was uncomfortable in his seat and was probably fiending for a cigarette, however, so he did not seem to mind the 9th place finish.

Pretty soon, the Terminator found herself needing to go all-in against Hoboken and found herself in 8th place. Karma found herself following the Terminator in 7th place. Both women went home, leaving the table with 6 players.

Blinds escalated quickly, and Hoboken limped into the pot. Pads found himself with only a few big blinds left and 9-9, so he pushed all in only to be called by Hoboken's K-K. Pads went out in 6th place, giving Hoboken a bonus point by knocking out last week's winner.

Daffy held on to a few chips for a while, but eventually went out in fifth place earning himself one point.

Chick went out in 4th place earning herself three points. My Choice did the honors of knocking her out to earn himself a bonus point, as she was the current points leader.

Three players remained: Lady Luck, My Choice, and Hoboken. Lady Luck eventually went out in third place, earning himself 5 points with his highest finish of the season.

My Choice and Hoboken went heads up. Despite having a massive chip lead, Hoboken found himself unable to put Hoboken away for a while. Eventually, My Choice's Q-10 suited lost to Hoboken's KQ. Hoboken took his first victory of the season.
