SPECIAL POOLS

 

        No attempts tonight on the only hand open the 23 Hand.

 

  28/29  POOL

 

       Two attempts were made at draining the pool tonight. "Bad Betty" Morehouse held three 5's and the right J but only managed an 8 with the cut in her game five. "Farmer" Jim Harpe held all four 5's in his game six and came up with only a 2 cut. So the pool now is capped at $511.00 after the twenty first night of the season.

 

 Skunk Fund

 

        This afternoon only four of thirteen people escaped paying into the skunk fund.
        The skunk fund fared very well tonight.  It received  $3.25 by the end of the evening.   WE STILL THANK ALL OF YOU!!
