Final Regular Season Game of Seasaon Six

Some people have all the luck and this was definitely the case during the last regular season game of season six.

The game itself was fairly uneventful. To my recollection, there were no real interesting hands.... However, heads up, was VERY interesting! It was Christine versus Mike. I don't know the exact chip count, but it was very close... Christine might have been up by 1000 or so.

Little pots were traded back and forth until this one; I believe it was a limp pot going to the flop.

The flop comes:

Mike bets out, Christine pushes all in, Mike insta-calls. The cards are flipped over:

Christine shows (giving her a set of Jacks), Mike shows giving him top pair.

For those of you that are good at math or have a poker calculator, this gives Mike a 1.31% of winning the hand. Think about this for a second. If we were to play it out 100 times, he would win ONCE. Those are ridiculous odds. The turn and river need to come perfect perfect. Either running quads or running boat (while avoiding the last Jack).

Sure enough, the turn comes the . But that still only gives Mike a 15.91% chance to win. The river needs to come any five, four, or, of course, the case Queen.

BAM! The river hits... . WTF?!?! Runner runner quads. I want me some of that luck! I think the best part of the hand was the dance Mike did after he hit quads... it's by far, the most animated I've ever seen him.
 

Mike's Quads

This left Christine with 1100, I think. With the blinds at 300/600 at the time, it's do or die.

She pushes on the very next hand, and rightfully so when she flips over  

Mike calls with . Mike's in a dominated position and is only 29.8% to win.

The board comes giving Mike the wheel, and the game.
 

Final Hand of the Game

The quads, the bounty, and the win gave Mike enough points to leap into second place. What a crazy game.

I had to deal with Christine hitting the LAST seven in the deck to get trips over my top pair, doubling up 2 players with just bad luck, and getting Q9 as my best hand in the last 3 hours (and when I pushed, by the way, I ran into AK). I'm hoping Mike's luck ran out and I'll get some of that for the big pot game!

That said, thanks to everybody who came out, it was a good time! (and I wasn't the first one out!!) Marcel was a great host as usual.

Congrats to Mike and I'll see you all at the big pot game next week!
