Last night was the regular season finale for the Iron Donkey Poker League and maybe the most fun tournament I have ever hosted. Six players had a legitimate shot at walking away with the regular season lead and another eight all were fighting for the last two spots at the final table. The play was intense and there were some seriously wild hands. The final table included eight(!) of the top ten going into the night and was full of epic battles.

The night started with my players presenting me with a jaw dropping Champaign bottle. I feel like I’m supposed to book some sort of epic win in order to pop this bad boy.

At one point in the night I was called over to table 2. Apparently while dealing Jbutler had flicked a card up perfectly against the race wall. Dawn bet him he couldn’t do it again to which he responded by casually flicking a card from across the table and pinning it to the wall right next to the first one Robin Hood style. Photo below is undoctored and exactly how Butler dealt both cards.

Jamie ended up winning a three way all in with myself and Butler late in the night that gave him the chip lead which he used to take both the night and the season points victory.
