        J.R. Cast caught the 23 Hand tonight which opened up all of the special pools. Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest took home money for the Raggedy Ann also tonight. That leaves the other four hands open for this coming week.

 

  28/29  POOL

 

      Three attempts made at draining the pool tonight. Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest tried in her game three with a J and three 5's but could only cut a three. Then  John "Rotten" Reed held a Q and three 5's in his game four but could only get a 2 for no help. In his next game five he held a 10 and three 5's this time cutting only a 3 .  The pool now is capped at $511.00 after the twenty fourth night of the season.
