Bodonkey poker tournaments would not be complete without one final suck out to land the 1st place winnings and all it’s glory. With a better than 2-1 chip lead, salex77 called Mofo_69’s shove from the small blind with A7s. Mofo_69 showed ATo and they were off to the races. Mofo_69 flopped a smash-hit gutter ball, but salex77 rivered a 7 to take this Bodonkey down moving him into 3rd place with 287 points on the tournament leader board.
A last minute emergency kept our hero Eric “Rizen” Lynch from playing the tournament, but the decision was made to honor his legacy and keep the bounty on his stack in play.
The ghost of Eric "Rizen" Lynch turns the nut straight and he outplays his table mates.
As it turned out, our hero’s ghost made quite an impression with his stack in play and even pulled off an impressive win over his table mates who thought they could take him out in a classic attempt to go all in.
Here is how that hand played out:
Rizen was blinded down to his final few chips which all went in from the BB. Although Rizen wasn’t there to play out his hand, his spirit owned the 7 other players who limped in to try and claim his bounty. Rizen’s 6-8o turned a straight and he went from 60 chips to 360 outplaying his table mates who clearly were out matched.
It wasn’t until a couple of orbits later that the T$109 bounty on the ‘ghost of Rizen’s head’ to play in Bodog’s 100K Guaranteed went to 2-time bounty winner, blogger PokahDave.
Poker blogger PokahDave takes the $T109 bounty on the ghost of Eric "Rizen" Lynch
Here is how the bust out hand went down:
The ghost of Rizen went all-in from the big blind with a 6-7s vs. 3 other opponents: NumbBono with Jc9h, PokahDave with 4h4d (both were also all-in) and TripJax with 8h8c - he had all three players well covered. PokahDave then spiked a 4 on the flop for bottom set, but had to fade TripJax’s turned OESD for the win. PokahDave’s set of 4’s held on to win the hand and off he goes with the $T109 bounty for the 2nd tournament in a row.
Ovations to this week’s Gigli, “Sir Waffles”, who once again cleverly demonstrated why he holds the record for the ‘worst player ever’!
GG Donkeys!
