In the final game of 2013, we celebrated the fourth anniversary of The Impromptu. Twenty-two 'late night degenerates' came out for the fun and game, and the action got busy quickly. After some back and forths, and a dozen eliminations, we found ourselves at this final table . . . 

FUCard311 came to the final table with a solid chip lead, while cainiac1 came in as one of the short stacks, with only four big blinds in front of him. But cainiac1 showed some incredible tenacity, as he worked the short stack all the way to heads up play.

We saw a great heads up battle, but in the end, FUCard311 would not be denied, as he would take his fourth Impromptu title on the final hand.

Our congratulations to FUCard311 on a great victory!

 And a big hand to cainiac1, after an impressive display of short stack play . . .

And our thanks to all of the late night degenerates, who come out each week and make The Impromptu the great game it has come to be!

Twenty-two 'late night degenerates' came out for the year's penultimate edition of The Impromptu, and we had another terrific game. SuddenMoves and Burkey76 would be the chip leaders at this final table . . . 

Burkey76 did the heavy lifting early, knocking out the bounties one by one. But as the sponsor of most of the bounties, he would allow them to be assigned to new players, to keep those prizes in play. But in the later stages it would be curtinsea taking over, and knocking out the bounties along the way. But again, those prizes would instead be rolled over to the next week.

These two tough bounty hunters would find themselves in an epic heads up battle, with burkey fighting to pull within reach of the top two Impromptu winners, while curtinsea was trying to climb back into a tie with zixipoo for the most wins in this great game. And when the dust settled, it would be curtinsea taking his eleventh Impromptu title!

"It was a great game, and definitely a tough win against stiff competition. My hat's off to burkey76 on the tenacious effort to deny me number eleven. I'm thrilled with the victory"  -curtinsea

A big thanks to all of the 'late night degenerates' for coming out and making for a great game!

Twenty-six 'late night degenerates' came out to the virtual felts of Lock Poker for another fun filled Impromptu last week, and gave us yet another fantastic game, full of thrills and spills and thrills again, as some of the best this group has to offer fought hard for the coveted Impromptu Cup.

Ten tough competitors would make up the final table, with yours truly holding a slight chip lead and looking for that elusive eleventh win, to bring me back into a tie with zixipoo for the most Impromptu titles. But the competition at this table would be formidable . . . . 

That chip lead would be short lived, and I would find myself on the rail in seventh place, with crushed dreams once again. Following on my heels would be Leprekahn, as he too found himself denied another Impromptu title. Five handed, eirkur2 skinned halfcent in a hand, leaving him crushed and, after posting the big blind and ante, only 458 behind. In just four hands, however, halfcent would come roaring back, knocking out polaris in fifth place along the way, and pulling even with eirkur2 once again.

halfcent2012 wins 2881 with a full house, nines full of jacks [9s Jh 9h Jc 9c]
halfcent2012 wins 5987 with two pairs, kings and queens [Qc Kh Ts Qh Kc]
halfcent2012 wins 2375
halfcent2012 wins 21521 with two pairs, jacks and nines [Jc Jh 9c 9h Ad]

After knocking out shyne and fishtrapper in consecutive hands to reach HU, and even in chips, our competitors would have just three hands of heads up play, with this being the final hand . . .

And with that, Halfcent2012 wins his third Impromptu title, and our congratulations!!!

And we have a big hand for eirkur2, who narrowly missed his seventh title with his runner up finish.

We thank all of the late night degenerates for coming out and playing with us, and giving us an excellent game each and every week.

Another great game at The Impromptu last weekend, as we had twenty-eight players take to the virtual felt of Lock Poker for this fun fest. All the usual suspects, and some new faces, made for some fine competition. We had to whittle down the field to come to this final table . . . 

Tough players all around, but tbone9 not only had the dominant stack, she was simply dominating. Although drrungood1 was giving it his all, and would be the last man standing when he reached Heads Up play, this would not be his night, and tbone9 would win her fifth Impromptu Cup on this final hand . . . 

Congratulations tbone9 on your fifth win!!!

And hats off to drrungood1 for the valiant effort!

Thanks everyone for making this another great game!

Eighteen 'late night degenerates' took to the virtual felts of Lock Poker last week for another great running of The Impromptu. A field full of former champions always makes for a tough battle. Eight players would give way to a final table of ten. These players would have the final push for the Impromptu Cup . . .

Eirkur came to the final table with the chip lead, followed by the new King of the Impromptu, zixipoo. It looked like me might see a battle of the "P8" for the glory. But zixipoo would find himself caught out with just a mincash, while Eirkur2 would storm his way to heads up play against the always formidable Tourpro1500. Their battle would come to a head on this final hand, as Tourpro1500 would get it in behind and catch the flop, only to see his hopes dashed as the board ran out

Congratulations go out to Eirkur2, winning his sixth Impromptu title!!

And a big hand for Tourpro1500 on a valiant fight to the finish!!

Our thanks go out to all of the 'late night degenerates' for giving us yet another fantastic game. Join us again this week as we roll out another Impromptu tourney.

Remember folks, the Fourth Anniversary game is approaching quickly, stay tuned for info on bounties and extra prizes.
