Banned User wins the Impromptu!!

Once again, I am doing results at the 11th hour. This post contains the results from the previous two runnings of the Impromptu

7.21.13

Last week's Impromptu was once again a fantastic game, seventeen 'late night degenerates' took to the virtual felts to vie for the coveted Impromptu Cup. Many must fall by the wayside before a final table, and last week we convened with these nine fine players . . .

With all but the chip leader proven winners of The Impromptu, this may have been to toughest final table in the games history. One by the players would fall, until only two remained. FlashTacoma would need to go through the five time winner SuddenMoves to win his first Cup.

But with SuddenMoves holding a 4 to 3 chip advantage, our players got it in the middle on this hand . . .

We congratulate SuddenMoves, as he picks up his sixth Impromptu Cup!!!

And a big hand to FlashTacoma for coming so close against a tough table!

 

7.14.13

Two weeks ago, eleven of the 'late night degenerates' came out for another tough Impromptu game. It whittled down to our nine finalist, and it was game on!

T bone9 laid waste to the field, right to the final confrontation with nine time winner zix zix, which came to a head  on this hand . . .

Our congrats to T bone9, picking up her third Impromptu Cup!!!

And a big hand to zix zix, who fell just short of his tenth win

Results for 7.7.13

Last week's Impromptu was another great game with the 'late night degenerates' on the virtual felts of Lock Poker. A small field of dedicated regulars made for a tightly contested game, and with familiar faces at the final table. Eight players had prior wins, with all combining for 34 Impromptu Cups, leaving no doubt we would have a battle for the win.

The money bubble would break at five handed play in a hand that saw two players get felted. Shyne42 folded UTG and SuddenMoves opened for a raise to 450. DavidMavrikakis was on the short stack with less than five big blinds, and he moved his remaining chips in the middle. DrRunGood1 then moved his stack of 1900 in the middle, only to have burkey76 5-bet shove. SuddenMoves then made the call for his tourney life and tabled Pocket Kings. DavidMavrikakis showed K6hh, and DrRunGood1 and burkey76 both showed AJ. The proverbial 'ace on the river' would see a split pot, and two eliminations.

Shyne42 and burkey76 would find their way to heads up play. Eleven wins between them, each would fight hard for the cup. But this week it would be burkey76 taking his sixth win in The Impromptu!!

Congratulations on the win, and great game guys!

A big thanks to everyone for coming out to play and listening to us on LP Radio. See you next week!

Late results for the Impromptu!

I have been woefully remiss in getting results posted for the last couple of Impromptu games, and I apologize for slighting the winners. I'm going to be a bit brief here just to get the recognition out there for the great players who play in, and the fantastic finishers who win, this great game.

June closed with a couple of great games, which saw repeat winners take the top spots. On the 23rd, it was Nynus dominating the final table, and he would take down his sixth Impromptu Cup on this final hand against cainiac1 . . . .

With his sixth win, he moves into a tie with Shyne42 at number four on the all-time winners' list. A big hand to him for a great game played, and for cainiac1 putting in the valiant effort to deny him this victory!

And a big thanks to everyone who came out for this game . . . .

And the month of June would end with yet another great game. This time, it would be FUCard311 taking his third Impromptu Cup. This was an extraordinary feat, as he and I entered heads up play with me holding a 3 to 1 chip advantage, which I watched helplessly as it was counterfeited away . . . .

But Rick played great and kept the pressure on, and put me down to a 3 to 1 deficit, before knocking me out for my 12th runner up finish, denying me my 11th win, on this hand . . . .

They say great competition makes great champions, clearly FUCard311 took down a great opponent for a great win!!  ;)

Again, my thanks to all of the great players who continue to support and enjoy this great weekly game. See you all again next week!
