Hi everyone!

My apologies for taking my time with this, but some backstory on my username. Anyway, onto the final table...

Before we get to the action, a quick reminder of our extremely talented final table, 10 great players:

1. @sbp8984
2. @TeddyKGB82
3. @RadicusScout
4. @judgeanjury
5. @Chippychips
6. @swana
7. @BeagleStorm
8. @BEANO52
9. @dkellerd
10. @RowlettTexasChipGuy

Our deck used is a KEM bridge-sized regular index. The felt is a Boston and @pharaohone favorite: floor rug sponsored by Ruggable. Let's shuffle up and deal:

I resisted the urge to re-deal because this is a pretty ugly showing. I'm really glad that I did...

@RadicusScout the obvious leader here but pretty much everyone has a reasonable path to victory. Bonus points for 2x Doyle Brunson hands and a 7-deuce off in the same dealing.

 

[judgeanjury]

This already feels like it is going to hurt...

 

[sbp8984]

Flop 8, 8, 8?

 

[i'm nobody]

Flop 8, 8, 8?

I'd much rather see 9, 9, 9. Then you've got something to talk about.

 

[jpietrella]

To the flop...

Well, now we're cooking with a bit of fire. Somehow, not a single ace in anyone's hand. @BeagleStorm takes a modest lead with a pair of 6s, @judgeanjury runner up with bottom pair, @sbp8984 and @swana trailing not far behind with a couple of gutters, @BEANO52 and @dkellerd drawing to flushes.

 

[BeagleStorm]

Love this, Thanks for the opportunity!

 

[sbp8984]

This is very exciting!

 

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

runner runner QQ

 

[RadicusScout]

A lot of plays left on the board!

 

[sbp8984]

runner runner QQ

Goodluck

 

[RowlettTexasChipGuy]

SOB

runner runner 7's

SOB on that as well,

I need a 4 and a 3

 

[jpietrella]

Aaaaaand the turn.

@swana spikes the gutter and takes a big lead heading to the river. A glimmer of hope emerges for @RowlettTexasChipGuy and @TeddyKGB82 who can chop with a non-heart 3 or 9. @sbp8984 needs a non-heart 7 (one outer). @judgeanjury makes two pair and can steal this thing with a 4 or a 5-ball. @dkellerd still holding out hope for a heart that's not a 4 or a 5.

 

[BeagleStorm]

Would it be bad karma to wish and hope for 666

 

[Chippychips]

River a 3 for a four way split.

 

[RadicusScout]

RUN IT 2X!!!

 

[sbp8984]

lets see that black 7

 

[i'm nobody]

pulling for @swana

 

[dkellerd]

Cmon flush!

 

[jpietrella]

And the river...

Heartbreak. The good news is that this time, it wasn't me. @dkellerd defies the odds and nails the 3-outer (?) to hit the absolute nuts and claim sweet, glorious victory. Lots of sweats on this one, folks.
