It was a great day with some great poker being played! We had it all... bluffs, bets, raises, check-raises, and of course, all-ins! We even saw two extraoridnary hands! The first was Julie's flopped quads beating a boat.
The second was a horribly digusting hand. Kevin holds 54 offsuit, and the flop comes 544. He's in great shape, right? Wrong! Jay Wayman ends up drawing the 6 of diamonds on the river, a ONE OUT-ER, to complete his straight flush.
Everybody had a great time. Congratulations to our top winners!
