I was excited when Change100′s tweeted she had defeated Spaceman in the heads-up match securing her seat into the PokerListings Run Good Challenge Grand Finale. No offense Spaceman but this divided the final table equally in gender. I’ve been bugging Jeffrey Pollack to bring back a Mixed-Double’s event at the WSOP (Doyle Brunson and Starla Brodie won in 1979) but no word yet.
I was happy to make the final table considering I didn’t even play the second event due to the hurricane. I got off to a good start when I flopped a king high flush against Dan Skolovy. I will answer Pokerlistings Dan the reason I didn’t raise my flush on the river…in a private email. Can’t let anyone know why I did what I did because then people might think Texans have strategery.
Anyway, Change “won” hundred took down the series after she crushed me in one or two hands. Naturally, I received 83, J3, 83, 73 and finally picked up JT and pushed. As much as I love JT, I don’t like JT when my opponent has AA. The best news of the series… the three women playing the NL holdem tournament won first, second and third. Proving, poker chicks, or women, were the hottest women in poker at this Run Good Challenge.
I’d like to thank PokerListings Matt Showell again for the invite.
I would go over the hand history for you but I will leave that to Shamus who sums it up nicely here. And my blog time is still minimal due to hurricane clean-up.
One hand missing from my wrap-up — the one in which you successfully bluffed me off of a 1,550-chip pot with acey-deucey. Probably a key one for determining my fate in the sucker. Selective memory, I guess. GG!
